Look, I've only ever caught one or two episodes of DS9, so forgive me for not knowing this but:

Miles O'Brien is supposed to be from Killarney?

With Colm Meaney's accent?

Colm Meaney's accent is very distinctive, and instantly placeable for most Irish people. And it's not Killarney, which has it's own distinctive accent. That's Northside Dublin.

It's kinda like casting someone with a prominent Brooklyn accent and claiming the character is Texan.

wait this is so fucking funny. Into The Pit With You, O'Brien

its his man cave

One of my favorite things about DS9 is how Miles is just a dude. We got 300yo worms and a genetically engineered superhuman and whatever is going on with Sisko and the prophets (which is just the Star Fleet officers not including whole other planets of aliens) but in the middle of it all there is a dude from Dublin who is, in every way, just a dad trying to fix his lawnmower and it’s great.

I like the fact that O’brien is kind of a joke even with non-star trek fans now but im just wondering. Are you guys even aware of how much he canonically gets tortured. Its fucked up
