Some confirmation of details about the new show; including reassuring this fan that yes, Picard will head into space. Also that the show is serialised so presumably this ties into the mysterious arc that led Picard to return to France.

No. Just no.

Stop moaning ffs

Saw it recently somewhere that o brien is literally the only true or positive depiction of Irish people in any form.
Very true if you think about it.
Not sure how an o brien series would work though.

Leave it to Chief O Brien comedy series eh no thanks

A series where O'Brien has become disillusioned with mundane life at the Academy after a few years, whereby he eventually decides to answer the call for engineers to assist in the rebuilding of Cardassia. Plenty of scope there with his inherent dislike/distrust of Cardassians, the long distances to his family, his proximity to DS9 again, Garak, etc etc. Obviously it'd never happen, but fun to think about.

If it's going to be set around the same time as Picard I'd think Cardassia would have been rebuilt by then.


O'Brien getting bored of teaching is a nice hook but I'd go a different direction and have him be some sort of last resort fixer. As in the guy you call when you just can't get your new ship design to stop shaking itself apart at medium warp speeds.

I have one fond memory where he went full jimmy rabbite, think it was in DS9, he said he loves walking the Dublin mountains and someone saying to him ‘I thought dublin had rolling hills?’ And he throws a full crank ‘they’re mountains!!’

Cardassia yes, but don't forget this was an empire. I probably wouldn't set it around the time of Picard though, I'd say maybe about 10 years after DS9, meaning there could be a lot of humanitarian issues going on in lesser colonies etc. O'Brien would have heard of the stories of people starving, struggling to survive, no spare/repair parts to keep generators etc going....he'd have looked at his own life, unfulfilling job, Keiko being a very successful botanist spending a lot of time off world with Molly & Yoshi, and he'd have made the difficult decision to up sticks and do something meaningful.

It's easy to imagine bands of rogue Cardassians stealing resources, crime, trafficking maybe, all in the name of survival. O'Brien helping Cardassians to rebuild what they've lost, it's a real irony.

Yeah I remember, it's the ep where they find the crashed Dominion bug ship and fight to keep it. One of his pals gets mortally wounded, and eventually dies.

I think realistically you'd have to go forward about as much as time has elapsed since whichever character was last seen.

Oh it was worse than that. Crewman Muniz stated "But Ireland doesn't have mountains Chief?"

...by that end of that episode Muniz was dead....

...a cautionary tale I guess ;D

If town planning hasn't changed from now until the start of the 25th century Dublin has probably expanded to cover the whole island.
