Come on, that’s unfair. Keiko is no part of O’Briens suffering. She’s there for him, caring and supportive.
That business with the Pah-wraith doesn’t, doesn’t count.
That wasn’t Keiko.
I’m a little irked that in TNG they basically has the opposite plot, where O’Brien was possessed and Keiko was held hostage (along with many others on board).
No one talks about that…
My personal hypothesis is that everybody was half-asleep through about a third of the episodes of TNG.
It certainly reaches some high peaks, but the series average isn’t as entertaining as everybody remembers it.
I remember Miles being a bigger dick than Keiko cuz the first thing I even think about when thinking about the characters is the time Keiko made some food from her own childhood and Miles was just like “where’s the corn beef and potatoes?”
Hell the worst I remember Keiko doing wasn’t exactly her; she was possessed by some kind of energy being or someshit.
It wasn’t me, it was… nevermind.
Seriously anybody thinking Keiko is that bad doesn’t know how relationships actually work.
That Satan looks so sad and defeated … his expression looks like … ‘I’m trying my best but you guys keep outdoing anything I come up with’
Ever since the internet came around, he’s been unable to keep up.
For everyone defending Keiko, which episode of DS9 do I need to rewatch to hear Keiko say “Thank you Miles, for saving all of our lives, again.”? (I joke!)
I don’t remember it happening even a single time…
I think it’s really just one of those things from 90s TV that has not aged well, when later shows like Eureka and The Oreville go out of their way to include a basic thank you, every now and then.
Keiko isn’t actually written that badly, it’s mostly just that all of her lines had to fit into a B plot during a tight 18 minutes per episode.
