    I don’t like these. O’Brien might have held a simple job for a while, but Jesus Christ, the man wasn’t a pathetic spineless cuckold.

      Don’t take this as an actual character of O’Brian. He just had the unenviable position of minor character who commonly did the job most readily taken by ai. The other characters in these don’t escape flanderization for the sake of the joke. In this case Jordi also gets double dunked on for not only making out with holodeck maidens, but with O’Brians wife.

      I don’t know that you should worry about a fictional version of an already fictional character.

      No one is saying this is Star Trek canon.

        I think their point is that it isn’t funny. And I agree. No air exited my nostrils in the trading of this. I just felt a mix of disgust and sadness.

      I agree a little, I like some of these, but I’m not a fan of the Keiko affair ones. They just don’t hit for me.
