Hazel AcaciaGUEST
Chief Miles O'Brien in the Deep Space Nine universe is the chief mechanic.
Hazel AcaciaGUEST

Margaret KilljoyHOST

Hazel AcaciaGUEST
And I don't get that same experience now.
Hazel AcaciaGUEST
But...
Hazel AcaciaGUEST
We are talking about Chief Miles O'Brien, who in the Deep Space Nine universe is the chief engineer.
Hazel AcaciaGUEST
And so he works with like all of the station's computers and stuff.
Hazel AcaciaGUEST
And kind of in character, am I like, oh, shit, they did that.

Chris HewittHOST
Oh my God.
James DyerHOST
We will, but I'd lean towards Domhnall.
Helen O'HaraHOST
Yeah.
BenHOST
Yeah, so a- I've read into this.
BenHOST
Apparently she was intended to be, like, a recurring role that built up like, uh, like Chief O'Brien.
BenHOST
She was gonna be like a new character.
BenHOST
But she, for some reason they couldn't, uh, the wiki and other sources couldn't tell me why that she only did two episodes and then disappeared.
Armin ShimermanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Armin ShimermanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Armin ShimermanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Miles hit Kira's spring ball racket because she's carrying his baby and he doesn't want her taking any risks and she doesn't want him controlling her.
BlakeHOST
But no, he's...
BlakeHOST
Yeah, so welcome to the interesting, uh, dynamic of what exactly is Miles O'Brien's rank and, and positioning in the Star Trek universe.
BlakeHOST
[laughs]
NicolePANELIST
Well, as always, O'Brien must suffer, right?
BillHOST
read the uh the wikipedia plot
ThrakHOST
it's a thing but it's like that episode of like I think it's Star Trek Deep Space Nine where Chief O'Brien and I forget who he was with but like they like shrink down to like their ship is like super tiny right like they don't go in somebody I don't think but they're just like super tiny and this is sort of like the idea that they make you like the size of like a blood cell And then they like syringe you into the CEO so you can fight the virus from within to like save him from being dead.
ThrakHOST
I mean, if you want to dramatically read this plot, go ahead.
BillHOST
this is just the wikipedia thing set in the year 2051 we are at legitimately close to that um ad don't
PeterGUEST
So I'm going to have plenty of figures.
PeterGUEST
I've already made, like, Miles O'Brien.
PeterGUEST
Awesome.
PeterGUEST
I made Tasha Yar.
ChrisHOST
Yeah.
ZachHOST
And mine, of course, is none other than Miles Edward O'Brien, a.k.a. the chief, a.k.a. the union man, a.k.a. the hero of Setluck 3, a.k.a. the father.
ZachHOST
A million other things, right? That's right.
ChrisHOST
You know, as you're thinking about, like, As we're thinking about characters, as we're thinking about these last 60 years, and let's think about the next decade, is there something for you that maybe you haven't thought about this yet, but if they were to do a new series, would you rather the series be some sort of spinoff on something that has been established in canon already? Or would you like it to be maybe something completely different? and new?
JasonGUEST
I feel like it's always that thing in Star Trek of like lived histories where, you know, people have experienced an entire lifetime in a day.
JasonGUEST
And you're kind of like, I don't, you know, we don't bring it up about Miles O'Brien all the time, or we don't necessarily bring up about Captain Picard all the time.
JasonGUEST
So it's easy for us to forget that it happened to Pike as well.
JasonGUEST
And then that be the big emotional playoff.
