Unlike O’Brien, I don’t live in a post-scarcity society. While he gets the privileged of choosing to go into space, I instead have to live in closets as an editing goblin and ask for your help via Patreon. I’m also powered by potatoes, but I gotta PAY. Please send potato

I hate what the writers did to Molly. It was cruel and stupid.
I can't believe how BADLY you understand people's attitude toward real food vs replicated food
what's clearly immortal in Star Trek is industrial farming
replicated food doesn't taste bad or synthetic, it's just that it tastes the same all the time as opposed to grown and cooked food, so people can get kinda tired of it
Keiko isn't revolted, she's just surprised. I'm autistic and I can clearly see she's surprised as cooking food normally isn't common for most people. what's your excuse to misinterpret her very obvious facial expressions?
did you even watch Star Trek at all
So IRL we're working on figuring out what parts of meat is needed for a meaty taste to save on making our fake meat. Replicators can make perfect copies, but like how much storage space are you willing to devote to each and every individual food ingredient? Let alone the duplicate information in all of that. So it's a simpler version with less data storage, which is why Real Food TM tastes better than replicated food
I like this format, I hope to see more
🖖🏻 🖖🏻 🖖🏻
Keiko is basically the typical angry irrational Irish woman he's be raised by, except she's from Japan. That's why it works. Trust me. Irish man here.
"He's not an emotionally available man, unless you count irritation, then he is very available." – Brilliant. 100/10.
Is that really how it's pronounced? 'column'? not just 'cohlm'?
I think the idea is that different replicators are different quality. And…. yknow, i'm sure in the future they have an even more painless way to kill animals than captured bolt, which is already instant.
Bashir must be just rippling with jealousy that Miles gets like six or seven unwanted romances pushed his way, and Bashir gets none.
He's the only one with a clear career and personal life progression you can follow that isn't just "bigger officer." It's also nice to know that an actor kept getting now opportunities simply because he was a pleasure to work with. It seems so rare for being nice to pay off, especially in the entertainment industry.
In the last season or two they really upped the gay tension between him and Bashir. I was half expecting to see a shot of Bashir spread fingers on a bedsheet as O'briens hand envelopes it and clasps it, interlocking their fingers
O'Brien Must Suffer.
“How long will it take?”
“10 hours sir”
“You have 5.”
“ no sir, that is not how it works. If you want the ship to function, I will see you in about 10 hours.”
5:38 I guess the federation forgot about population swells among invasive species, and how eating them benefits pretty much everyone
Keiko was very pleased when the idiot aliens in 3bp talked to her
20:16 doesn’t she instantly come back as a child again?
I’m like 98% sure that happened
Waaaait, O'Brien 🏳️🌈🤔?
28:34 do no other bajorans know about this shit? Or is everyone from this town just considered a nut job?
29:21 “noooo why aren’t you aliens teaching OUR theology”
30:35 with no anesthetic, even. Cuz the cardassians don’t waste good drugs I guess
38:03 this one surprised me when the Sbfp boys didn’t get this, like of course he runs it because he likes it, he’s an old man and would probably be bored and useless otherwise
14:41 O’Brien; “Wesley, touch the transporter again and I’ll kill you….or tell your mother, whichever you think is scarier.”
That Molly shit drives me crazy every time.
Please tell me it gets retconned in some book or something.
The fact that Lower Deck did that fast nod/bit was the most funny and eye opening thing ever. I read their reason and they are right in their perspective. He is the quintessential lower decker and ya he is also the guy of the series.
O'BRIEN RULES
O'Brien is one of the best parts of DS9. Him and Rom were the unstoppable force of engineers.
"O'Brien? From Setlik III? We called him Silverware, on account of all the spoons he collected."
I didn't get into much lower decks the humor got old for me after few eps compared to something like like Orville. The crossover episode with Brave new worlds was great though.
Chief Miles O'Brien rules? The first rule of Chief Miles O'Brien is you don't talk about Chief Miles O'Brien.
The very stability of the galaxy centers around his suffering.
"Bloody spoonheads"
The Ensign’s and Lieutenant’s (depending on Branch) always look to the Chief Enlisted Man.
I still really need to watch DS9. Watched this whole video anyway.
I’d watch a whole video analyzing Dr. Bashir, and his superiority/inferiority complex
O'Brian killed a literal demon who was possesing his wife.
can you cut down the intro, it felt really long
I'd vote for Miles O'Brien
Oh good, I'm not the only one who was seeing the potential for a Miles/Keiko/Kira throuple
He loves three things- his wife, a well organized tool kit, and killin' Cardi's.
Thanks algorithm
Bro you are awesome for this excellent video
O'Brien and Worf both lasted to the end of DS9.
4:53 I always saw replicated food as probably just tasting "off" in a way you can't quite put your finger on if you've never had the real thing. Much like how yes, beyond meat through its chemicals can taste MOSTLY like meat, but if you've had actual meat before you know they're still not quite getting the taste right.
32:07 Kinda like how in Voyager the Harry Kim from the start of the show was murdered by Vidians, and was replaced by a Harry Kim from an alternate dimension/timeline for the rest of the series.
I should note that while Miles is an enlisted man, he's a Chief Petty Officer. So he is one of the highest possible ranks a man can reach without a commissioned and is specialized towards a type of command. So while it sounds low in theory, that is a rank that commands a great deal of respect, especially with how decorated he is. As Zach from mikeburnfire said about a Warrant Officer he knew, "no one short of a General was going to tell him 'no' if he suggested something on the base."
It trips over itself a couple times in the writing but Keiko and Miles unironically have one of the most realistic marriages I've seen on serialized television. Yes, there's drama. Yes, they will have arguments over the pettiest bullshit. But deep down they love each other and work that bullshit out.
I remember one time the Jem'hadar beam onto the Defiant bridge and one of them makes a b line to grab O'Brien by the collarbone and no one else
Put some respect on Saru's name. Whatever your thoughts on Discovery, Saru is Starfleet, through and through. Man is a badass that liberated his species from being cattle, while also being an extremely accomplished diplomat. He's no Miles Edward O'Brien though, obviously.
16:30 oh come on mate… are you Irish and are doing the thing we all do or are you playing into that whole “its not racist if theyre irish“ thing? hope its not the latter… loved the video but truly Irish people really dont like the stereotypes they have unless its between one another. they especially dislike American racism towards Irish. My da was born there and half my family is there so I visit often and lines like this would annoy some of my family quite a bit. all the same, great vid, just subbed 🙂
P.S: finished the thing, overall pretty good… but yeh none of your irish jokes were funny.. and not cause of offence they are just old and bad… I dunno why Americans so often do this but yeh maybe think this one over. still enjoyed the rest and there was some genuinely funny parts too
