Its like...looking back on O'Brien in TNG...what a waste! He is an Engineer that could give Geordi a run for his money based on his ability to keep DS9 running and they had him tucked away in a transporter room! Doing nothing!

Starfleet's best!!

Madness! Who is in charge of evaluating talent??

Although O'Brien is often posted to a transporter room, it's heavily implied that it's only one of many duties he has. He was at the helm in "Encounter at Farpoint", he appeared in main engineering many times, he was the one who monitored Data's condition when they had Data hooked up to Locutus in "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II"...

Little bit of trivia I didn't know until recently: do you know who played in the first "poker game" on TNG?







I think of the season 3-7 adult main cast (minus Picard, of course) as being the ones who played, but the first game they had in an episode was in season 2's "Measure of a Man", and the players were Data, Riker, LaForge, Pulaski and O'Brien.

I figured they just warn him in advance and then he goes into the room, does a light dusting and wait for the landing party to show up.

He's got like a little cot in the back, maybe a hot-plate and one of those drinks globes for his scotch?

Well...I'd suggest at least giving us a shot in the Buy/Sell forum, I like that kind of stuff for my office, but your best bet would probably be eBay.

I know someone who sells this kind of stuff as a bit of a side-hustle so if you PM me I can give you his contact information.

But I call dibs on anything super cool!

You could try Kijiji too.

There is also a store here in Edmonton that I sold some of my figures too that were still carded. Calgary probably has something like that. Is Chinook Hobby still around?

O'Brien should have beamed Pulaski into space. I dont think I could spend and evening playing Poker with her without poisoning her drink.

Star Trek has had some bad characters...but she's up there.
