I found the episode on Paramount Plus it's acutally S4 Ep 17

But chief was an NCO, wouldn't there have been higher ranking officers to replace Worf?

Miles you fckng icon 🫡

60% of Medal of Honor recipients have gone. to Irish men or men of Irish heritage, the Irish have more Victoria Crosses per capita then any other country, the most decorated soldiers of WW2 were Irish men , this shows why the Chief was the most important man in Federation history

I love this episode.

235 engagements and yet still isnt a Master Chief.

damn. just went it was getting interesting...you cut it off :(

235 separate engagements, never in command as he is enlisted and someone two days out of the academy outranks him. If he took command the rest of the crew would be dead most likely. It is a false comparison.

this lawyers son then ended up serving on the same klingon ship as worf sometime later be interesting if the son and worf got into a fight on the rotarron

I love deep space nine

One of those guys you can tell is a black guy under the klingon makeup because he couldn't tamp down his blaccent.

Finally, the guy gets his recognition. Obrien was at the helm in Encounter at Farpoint, a true veteran

It's because he's a union man

The entire situation of this episode is a great idea and produces a great selection of dialogue. However the premise does not sit well even for the direction it is trying to go in. A civilian ship with a cloaking device that decides to "appear" right in front of an enemy ship while a battle is occuring - Sorry but only a really stupid Federation pacifist brainbug would throw this level of fit over the situation. Granted: The Klingons can attempt to raise a stink over it for public relations but the Federation can hit back easily enough by pointing out the elephant in the room. The rest of the universe is not the Federation and outside of Federation ethic / morality - I find it sketchy to believe many would go to the microscopic level to blame Worf rather than look at the ENTIRE context of the situation and realise more than Worf is at fault. The Federation is seriously going to throw away Worf to get executed over this ? O'Brien = 235 engagements - Somehow he got booted from a bridge position to transporter but they consider him competent enough to take command of the Defiant if Worf got taken out... ? This man's career trajectory is cursed.

I don't answer hypotheticals. End of conversation

This episode was terrible. Prosecutor: "We concede all the defenses points." Defense: "So we win, right?" Judge: "No. Because Worf gets angry sometimes."

Maybe after 235 engagements, O'Brian lost his enthusiasm for being a warrior you know.

No. Chief of Brian is an enlisted, not an officer. CPO's of the Navy/Coast Guard are the senior enlisted; from Chief, E-7; Senior Chief, E-8; to Master Chief, E-9. Starfleet follows Navy/Coast Guard ranks (officer class) and rates (enlisted men) and therefore, next officer after Worf; would assume command. If Worf was the CO, then the XO. Think Picard = CO; and Riker = XO.

This is nothing to O'Brien. The Klingon attorney here is a piece of cake compared to Keiko.

umm big blunder on sisko's part, they want to make O'brain an expert in the area of starship combat, and sisko dosent even raise the clear objection off O'brain is an enginering officer and not a trained tatical officer, Combat is not is area of expertise

I worked it out... That's just under 1 a month... interesting career. I wonder what constitutes a combat engagement. Do stand offs count ro do that actually have to fire. Also does it count if he's just the transported chief at the time and simply on board? Or does he have to take an actual role in the fighting? I'm just interested btw not picking holes.

Who's the actor playing the Klingon lawyer? I'm almost positive he also played a Moclan on The Orville.

O'Brian's take is actually both total bullshit and contradictory to his established character. He refused Bashir's direct order and destroyed a very good chance at neutralizing or damaging the Jemhadar threat because it was more expedient to their immediate goal of destroying the few enemies on that planet and escaping. Also, there's no way a civilian cargo/transport ship would get right the fck in the middle of a fight and just decloak 5 meters infront of an enemy and taking the time to verify the target in that situation before firing would be a mentally handicapped move. It's not a city street full of civilians that might run infront of your sights, it's fcking space.

That Klingon is too black, lol.

235, not bad for a service branch claiming not to be a military branch

I read an interview with the actor who played the Klingon Lawyer. He played it as though he was a Klingon warrior, valuing honor and heritage, but the courtroom was his battlefield. I always thought that was a very cool take.

I'm not surprised O'Brien was in that many engagements. It seems like he's the only non commissioned office in Star Fleet so he has to rotate around to cover all the commissioned officers;).

Nice to see O'Brien getting some respect.

DS9 is the best Star Trek show. Change my mind.

Classic. Ty for hd.

_"Damnit, I'm an engineer, not a warrior!"_

That character is the least honorable Klingon lawyer we’ve ever seen

This side of the trial would have been shut down quick. Calls for speculation. O’Brien wasn’t captain.

It sounds impressive until you realise that a cook on the USS Enterprise can also claim to be in every combat the ship was involved in but that wouldn’t make him an expert.

An expert in starship combat? He was a transporter chief lol

"Would you have taken command..." Yeah, if all the other officers were dead. Chief maybe a senior NCO, but there is a chain of command.

Klingon Lawyer?? PATAKH!!!!

235 seperate engagements... Poor miles found himself in combat once a month for 20 years.

235 engagements today so far...

235 enguagements in 22 years? That is 10.68 engagements every year... almost 1 engagement every month!?

"For the record, Chief O'brien has been in 235 separate engagements and Starfleet has decorated him 15 times"

Should've told the Klingon: "I don't deal in hypotheticals"

In Worf defense it’s wasn’t his fault

Objection, calls for speculation.

A Vulcan judge makes the most sense.

He was a NCO....unless all the other officers were also killed, how would he take command?

Klingon Lawyer : 235 separate engagement O'Brien : I was in a bloody transporter room for half of them

O’Brien is a non commissioned officer, would he be next in the chain of command to Captain the Defiant. I know he probably have the experience to take command but would he be next in the chain of command ?

"Let's say that happened." "Okay, immediate withdraw and permanent shore leave for everybody WITH PAY. Any objections?"

"Let's say that happened." "OK, 'That happened.'"
