"Watch the Irishman Suffer" is practically it's own genre of Star Trek episode. Chief O'Brien needs a break, he's just a regular dude who has witnessed his own death too many times.

O'Brien and Kim are the official star trek punching bags. Name a bad thing, it probably happened to one of them

Even Keiko gets fed up with O'Brien. She yells at him all the time and then straight-up leaves for months at a time.

The only good Keiko episode is the one where she is possessed.

"Keiko vs Pope Karen: Creationism Clash" at least made me take Keiko's side for once.

I've heard Koreans described as the Irish of Asia.

Based exclusively off Kim's treatment, I'd say that tracks lol

His crime being the most normal and relatable character in all of Star Trek

My partner and I love when we get to "...another 'O'Brien is crazy episode!'"

The fact that he was a major plot point for the RedShirts book is one of my favorite things about that book. (Or rather, his "legally different because of copyright" Irish equivalent)
