    Little known fact about the Star Trek universe. A key ingredient in ketracel-white is the Chief’s pain. They harvest it early and often.

    Why is it so funny to pick on O’Brien? I won’t pretend that it’s not funny, but I can’t figure out why it is.

      Hes an excellent actor that was given outsized dramatic story scenes that played to that skill, which included lots of suffering to show emotional range. They all made sense in the moment, but when you step back and think about it, motherfucker was just constantly getting bollocked.

      Taking something to an absurd level is funny, and since the show almost got there by itself, its easy to just push a bit and get Obrien into the “asinine” zone of suffering.

        Okay, that makes sense. Like, I find the O’Brien bullying funny, but it was something where I couldn’t figure out why I found it so funny. Thanks!
