How do you screw up the tag line so badly.
It’s 47 minutes!!!
It's an Easter egg, but that's not the answer. To life, the universe, and everything. Minus commercials.
Berman said 47 is 42 inflated.
O’Brian relives his worst moments while grading papers at the Academy.
It’d be a step up from Picard.
The stresses of becoming headmaster, putting up with that insufferable EMH, and the occasional visit from Keiko, Molly, and Kirayoshi. These episodes practically write themselves.
I’m just trying to decide if it’s a sitcom or not…
You know, the kind where you have a “straight man” who is driven nuts by his zany friends/family/coworkers for the enjoyment of the audience?
Well, kinda. Bear in mind, this is O'Brien. His suffering is our entertainment, but it also serves as the mirror for the shit we all must overcome. They called him "Smiley" in the alternate universe for a reason.
Time to release Molly into her feral little adventure again. For some decades.
Episode one: He is now retired from Starfleet, working as a cheesemonger, bashing Cardassian voles
That's just his favorite holo. He's "in control" but can never really win.
Oh look, it's Commander Cowen of the Genii from Stargate Atlantis!
🙃
Every episode just immediately jumps into whatever world that O'Brien created in the simulations where he keeps every buffer clone trapped forever .... sometimes it's on DS9, sometimes on the Enterprise, sometimes on a Borg ship, sometimes in 19th century Louisiana, sometimes 23th century California, sometimes ancient Rome, sometimes on Kronos, sometimes on an ice moon, sometimes just free floating in empty space
Just Chief O'Brien at Work: The Series. So very much need this.
Hours and hours of spare time working as an engineer and endless access to a ship's computer, so much data storage, devices, holo programs, simulators and digital systems ... inevitably he's going to end up doing some freaky stuff.
All that time "just standing around" is actually opportunities to carry out missions with Section 31, the Obsidion Order, the Tal Shiar, or Keiko (Koala help us all).
Edit: O'Brien - Generations
Queue it up, I need this. Would pair nicely with the times.
[Q]ueue it up
first episode: O'Brien gets into a transporter accident and is turned into the perpetual agony machine
At the other end of said machine:
/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
