That right there is a union man. He transports strikebreakers to strange new walls.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

Good to see Risa hasn't lost sight of Trek history

[–] Throbbing_Banjo@midwest.social 26 points 11 months ago

I've seen exactly 4 episodes of The Star Trek, and in every single one of those episodes, this man suffers but is not allowed to die.

[–] Blackout@startrek.website 22 points 11 months ago

That's Keiko's husband. I think he's a plumber.

[–] AcidOctopus@lemmy.ml 21 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's John Startrek, the titular protagonist of Star Trek.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Little known fact that the entire franchise was named after him

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 20 points 11 months ago

Smiley. Coffee, black, double sweet.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 19 points 11 months ago

That is the Falcon, dangerous man, sometimes allied with Dr. Hippocrates Noah.

[–] DarkGamer@kbin.social 16 points 11 months ago

That's Irish O'houlihan, he uses his leprechaun magic to teleport people as a convenient plot device

[–] IvyRaven@midwest.social 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

O'Brian and he's here to suffer. I mean transporter work. And suffering.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A good observation that is often overlooked when it comes to St O'Brien, the Star Trek patron saint of pain and suffering, lesser known as the patron that protects against transporter malfunctions ... eh, or causes them, I forget which one it is.

[–] JWBananas@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago

First one, then the other.

I hate temporal mechanics!

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 14 points 11 months ago

The guy with the Irish accent.

In one scene he has no accent, turns out it wasn't him but a shape shifter. I appreciate this love for details

[–] WagnasT@iusearchlinux.fyi 13 points 11 months ago

This is Odo from engineering. He has a meltdown every night.

[–] quindraco@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago

Miles O'Brien. He fucks.

[–] Haus@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago

That's Smiley, and he suffers.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 9 points 11 months ago

That's a Leprechaun who stole gold from the Gods and as punishment must live a life of suffering.

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He’s the vapoorizer guy who makes the poop disappear!

But where does the poop go?

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

Starfleet officers just shit their pants and teleport it out into space.

[–] bigboig@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe that's what the subspace aliens are angry about

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You think OBrien was warping all the poop into the wormhole?

[–] DarkGamer@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

The founders are sick of your shit

[–] SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

He's the cheese monster who taught Charlie the magic gibberish language.

[–] IndefiniteBen@leminal.space 6 points 11 months ago

That's Cowen, former Chief of the Genii.

Looks like he has a nice retirement.

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

He's the military leader of the Genii.

[–] Doug@midwest.social 6 points 11 months ago

I think the answer you're looking for is

Yes

[–] Jesus_666@feddit.de 5 points 11 months ago

That's Miles. His main job is to ensure that both the strongness and sweetness of correctly ordered raktajino are precisely double. In his spare time he ensures fair play at the dart board at Quark's.

That's Montgomery Scott, and he runs the transporters on the Enterprise.

[–] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

That's Jimmy Rabbitte's da' and he's very proud of his son who aspires to manage an Irish soul band in the tradition of 1960s African-American recording artists.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wow ... what a film ... and it is Jimmy's da! ... now I got something to look forward to watch ... thanks for that

[–] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

You're welcome. It's one of my favourite movies. Having lived on Dublin's Northside for ages, it really makes me feel home. You can look forward to some fun Northside accent. ^^

He's Morgan the Goat, he took Hugh Grant up a hill or a mountain, it's a little contested and fuzzy.

[–] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

Don't remember his name, but his accent is the same as all the great starship engineers: Akron, Ohio.

[–] RavenFellBlade@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

The O'Brian!

He SuuufFfFfffeerRrrrs

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 11 months ago

Smiley. He frowns.

[–] OmgItBurns@discuss.online 2 points 11 months ago

That is Smiles O'Breen and he's a servant of Holy Terra.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago

I like Colm Meany, but every picture I've ever seen of him looks like somebody has Photoshopped his face to be slightly smaller, like the old Woll Smoth memes.
