        I am in S05 of DS9 (first watch) and saw this one recently in S04. We really enjoyed it.

        Do they ever bring up that O’Brien isn’t the original O’Brien they knew, but rather the future O’Brien that swapped places? … I didn’t think so.

          Nope.

          I’m glad that O’Brien got so much focus on DS9 after being a side character on TNG, but man did they ever fuck with him.

          But then if they did acknowledge all the shit the writers put him through they would have one seriously messed up officer who should probably be discharged.

            We have to assume that 24th century mental health services are much better than either Troi or Ezri makes it appear.

              Hahaha well with those two as our sample it’s going to take a lot of rigging to suspend my disbelief.
