I think I’m going to have to stop reading these. They are just so depressing.
I read a lot of these. Here’s my hot take: It’s not real. It’s not canon. This never happened to Miles O’Brien and never will.
For me, personally, that’s enough to let me enjoy the absurd comedy.
I enjoy it here and there. My big problem is that it’s the same joke almost every time.
It’s a fictional version of a fictional person. I’m sort of amused when people get upset about it.
The first 5 panels are nice
Just a reminder that the one time Worf operated the transporter Picard and Dr Crusher got transported straight to an enemy jail. No wonder O’Brien had to work long hours.
If we take what is shown on DS9 at face value without imagining any other dialog, for every 20 times Miles is going on Holodeck adventures with Julian, he spends one time going on a picnic with his daughter.
And then there’s the baby he had with Keiko and also Kira who he seems to ignore most of the time.
