    I really don’t like the addition of cuckoldry into the story line. Twice now it comes up? Fuck that. Why not just name him Jesus? The storyline has about as much to do with Jesus as O’Brien.

    Originally the joke was funny because of the thought of having someone in charge of staring at the transporter room all day was an absurd realization about the Trek universe. But he was a beloved character in every way.

      Maybe the author is British and really just wants all replicators to only serve O’Brian diseased potatoes but understands that that would be too on the nose.
