      Solid episode. O’Brien, Garak, Nog, and the unfortunate few go to the abandoned Cardassian sister station of Empok Nor to salvage much needed tech for DS9. As expected, things don’t go smoothly, but it serves as a great character focus and the first major interaction between both O’Brien and Garak.

        DS9 is on my list for a full watch. i think ive really only fully paid attention to the first few seasons… and i last saw them as they aired.

          Much like TNG, it ramps up once the show and Sisko “grow the beard,” which doesnt occur until the last few episodes of season three. Worth it. Also, my description doesn’t really spoil the important part of the episode.

          No worries. I just wanted to showcase the transition from this:

          To this:

          Being more commonplace after TOS.

            We indeed know the Truth… that behind the very foundation of the Universe there is a conspiracy (literally!) whose sole purpose is to enhance O’Brien’s torture.

            As in, the only time he is allowed to die is when he himself kills him. But never fear, we shall bring him back - over and over and over again!

              I’ve said it before, but I really hope they use him for the upcoming Academy show. Make him a holographic version of Headmaster O’Brien. At the end of DS9, he was slated to become Professor of Engineering, but we all know he’d work his way up quickly (and likely very painfully). So by the 32nd Century, they conjure up hol-O’Brien against his will to influence the young hearts and minds at Starfleet Academy. Program glitches and suffering hijinks ensue.

                OMG I would watch that! Maybe. Assuming it tortures him sufficiently. :-P

      Also, Tony Perkis was a great prototype for what became White Goodman in Dodgeball.

      Edit: Sadly, he’s not in it. May be thinking of Nat Paxon.
