then he sees himself there and gets shot, turns out this miles was some sort of clone or whatever and he's exactly like miles except he's pre-programmed to murder someone at a certain time, and with his dying breath he's like 'take care of [our wife]' to his real counterpart and it was really loving sad

Everybody's having fun making fun of how much O'Brien gets poo poo on, but it makes me legitimately sad. gently caress the police.

Also, Colm Meaney is the best actor in Star Trek, because he manages to take the lovely technobabble and awkward dialogue the writers come up with, and makes it actually sound like real human speech, more so than the rest of the actors in all the other shows.

according to the tng episode "tapestry" 9/10 of starfleet personnel live boring, thankless, miserable existences

Being an astrophysicist on the Starfleet flagship sounds pretty awesome and fulfilling to me, Picard just got all whiny about it because he literally would rather die than not be able to order people around.

"You spent a year on Bajor with a man, alone, and came back pregnant? Hmm must be from the one day you visited six months ago. I doubt you were loving that other botanist."

And somehow Keiko wasn't able to send word to him of her pregnancy over those months because she was "out in the bush" on Bajor, despite everyone having communicators pinned to their shirt with orbital ranges.

I have a friend whose shoulder used to pop out at the drop of a hat. ...She never has problems now, due to 21st century surgery.

If only they had access to such advanced procedures in Star Trek.

Fun fact: Data introduced Keiko to Miles.

And they say Data doesn't have a sense of humor.

Sisko: Chief I need you to pack up your stuff and move it to cargo bay 3. That will be your station from now on. We're bringing in some new people and we need to make more room in ops.

O'Brien mumbling: Okay but...if this keeps up...I'm going to...burn the station down...

Pretty sure they made him a non-com because Roddenberry had some raging hate-on about non commissioned officers in his fictional utopia/mechanism to bang hot women on his casting couch.

Does he really hate NCOs? I guess it makes sense though, since I can't think of a single NCO in the history of Star Trek except O'Brien.

Where the gently caress is Ensign Holt? I've been standing at this loving transporter console for 12 hours and the bastard hasn't relieved me yet.

*door finally opens*

"You're three hours late!"

Holt: "You mean, 'you're three hours late, SIR'"

...."Yes, sir."

Holt: "You're relieved, you old potato."

When Miles has a really bad day, he replays the memory of Keiko almost falling to her death, over and over in his head. That's his happy place.

Her ship, the USS Cortez, is scheduled to return in about one week, after she finishes her sortie on the Cardie border. I waited my whole life to be happy, dammit, I can wait a week more!

I had to google that, you definitely win the obscure reference award.

We both know who the real hero of the series was.

The show jumped the shark the minute Dukat became Bajoran. That plot arc was pretty stupid.

Alternate universe Kira just makes me cringe from bad writing. Actually pretty much everything about the Alternate universe episodes was pretty poo poo in the end.
