Don't count on the Deep Space Nine star angling for a Star Trek: O'Brien any time soon.

If anyone earned their retirement, it's Miles O'Brien. Maybe he could show up for one scene, where he lets the rest of the team know that, just like Wolverine did in First Class.

Lol, I'd accept that. Maybe he's the template for future engineering holograms.

Computer, activate the Emergency Engineering Hologram.

Holo'brien: Jaysus! Your warp core's knackered. Nothing I can do. Deactivate emergency engineering hologram.

(I don't think any incarnation of O'Brien would give up so easily; just playing off of your Wolverine clip lol)

I wondered why the hologram version of him is English. But of course it would be English, wouldn't it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Computer, reactivate Emergency Engineering Hologram

Holo'brien: Fuck off! Computer, delete program, command override O'Brien six-six-gamma-seven.

I think star trek always needs old miles O'brien, but I'll take him as a special guest as you proposed. or maybe recurring?

I wouldn’t mind a special guest appearance of a retired Chief O’Brian building gadgets for kids in a distant colony.
