Let me know what I’ve omitted from either list. O’Brien still “wins.”

    Thanks for the additions. There really is a nuance to O’Brien’s harrowing life. Lower Decks or Starfleet Academy should attempt to showcase his rise to “Most Important Person in Starfleet History” with just a few more dashes of suffering between.

      Just realized I forgot the time that his wife got turned into a 10 year old. A 10 year old who got mad at him for being uncomfortable with physical affection at a time when she is going through something crazy and wants to feel comforted. Forget the Kobayashi Maru, that right there is the real no-win scenario.

      Now if only I could go back to forgetting that episode.

      They forgot to mention that by that time, “important” has changed meaning and means “tormented.”
