Twice! Once with the clone and once with the future Obrien

@@chriscarter3630 More, in the Episode with the future one, he watched how he got killed by a booby trap.

Underrated comment!

"I could beam you all into space right now..."

That's O'Brien at Work

HAH

There's a web comic where DS9 is a role playing game being played by the TNG crew, and O'Brian and Kieko play each other

Remember when Obrian had to experience 20 years in 2 hours.

@@erikolsen1333 yeah he spent 20 years in a cardassian prison in his mind

@@jaredvincent3323 It was an Argrathi prison.

I think you're talking about the botched episode where every other character was completely out of character and he ran to a remote planet, but instead of validating the episode, the writer's copped out and said he was a replicant. In the following episode everyone was back to normal. I think it's one of those times where they goofed as writers and had to double back; like the last episode of NG where they're bitter old Boomers, but DS9 invalidated the entire episode by bringing Worf on board and changing his story away from Troi; or simply like on DS9 where they tried to make it like Worf didn't grow up in Russia and killed a classmate when he was 13; and then Worf was Russian again despite no accent. Thematically, DS9 had a lot of cleaning to do after NG; but they made a bit of a mess in the process. At least O'Brien wasn't just a probationary character on DS9. Regarding the trial, he survived because otherwise spoon-faced Judge Judy would have been cancelled due to a technicality.

@@derchozenvun83 I am referring to the episode "Visionary" where O'brien timeshifts randomly into the future. At the end, the true O'brien dies of radiation poisoning and his future self goes back in time and replaces him.

@Andrew Walker XDDDD

He is the greatest man in Starfleet

*Miles O’Brien

But let's forget he learnt for Geordi LaForge, so we have to give some of the credit to his mentor as well

@@VeeAllar738 I don’t really think Geordi was his mentor he was his superior but I wouldn’t say mentor him

I'm rewatching and on season 6. This series is so much better than I remembered.

Now it's time to ask yourself if Gul Ducat survives Total Recall. I'm pretty sure Everett fades out in that without a death scene.

They even killed him at one point! Of course they then ported in an alternate universe version of him, but still

@@kevlonk True. Of course, Janeway died 17 times, so I'm not exactly holding that against them.

​@@oddish4352she was also a murderer though. Hard to forgive the cold blooded murder of Tuvik

@@PatGunn And pretty much everyone except the Doctor was complicit. That was an ugly scene, to be sure.

@@oddish4352Even the doctor was complicit, he still prepared and gave Janeway the spray. The only way you could argue he wasn’t would be by saying that his programming at that point still required him to follow orders. 7, Neelix and Tuvok are the only guilt free ones because they weren’t there

Come on. For O'Brien it was a hassle. He went from top of the line Federation technology on the flagship to trying to merge Cardassian technology with Bajoran and Federation and being the first person folk blamed when it wasn't perfect. Transporter chief was a cushy desk job by comparison.

@@WilliamGreer But he was stuck in a transporter room for an 8-10 hour shift. On DS9 he had so many things to do plus he was the chief engineer.

@kxmode he was also poisoned by a Bajoran resistance bug that made him babble nonsense and nearly killed him "SIMPLE HESITATION!" (one of my favorite Trek quotes), captured by Cardassians and put in a mock trial, and in another incident forced to serve a twenty year sentence in his mind for a crime he didn't commit, had to betray his C.O. for a pah wraith that was holding his wife hostage, lost an apprentice he cared about to a slow death from the Jem'Hadar, and had to fight in another war even though he still suffered PTSD from the Cardassian war. Along with a host of other, really messed up stuff. On the Enterprise, his greatest trial was having to face his old C.O. who was breaking the law. (Though "The Wounded" was a superb episode of TNG) All in all, I think DS9 was a rock polisher for O'Brien. Compared to the comfortable flight of The Enterprise D. (P.S. love the Calvin profile pic. Big thumbs up.)

​@@WilliamGreerHe went from pushing a few buttons in a little room to managing the systems of an entire alien space station, which ended up deciding the fate of 1/4 of a Galaxy. The man went into battle at the head of entire federation fleets, fought and drank with the future High Chancellor of the Klingon Empire, and at the end of all his suffering became a professor of engineering at Starfleet Academy. The man may have suffered as a result of his career choices but he did alright in the end.

@MDE_never_dies I adore O'Brien. Got his action figure from DS9 hanging on my wall because he's awesome. The one with his sleeves rolled up. He's a damn hero. Miles Edward O'Brien. Starfleet's best.

Excuse me?

wtf he's alive

Hes still alive. I did not need this shock

RIP Colm Meaney 1953 - 2025

Fuck keiko. Nagging bitch

yup

I never understood why the writers didn't give them better chemistry or at least less episodes with them fighting. We never really saw them having a normal relationship.

He thought he was marrying a Japanese woman and got tricked!

And a kid who hates his guts, even after he rescued her from being stuck on a planet after she ran away having a tantrum. God I hated that kid
