298: Pulaski Syndrome

Keiko O'Brien.
 
Keiko O'Brien first appears in "Data's Day," a season four
episode of The Next Generation in which she marries Miles
O'Brien. Over the course of the 8 episodes of The Next Generation
and 19 episodes of Deep Space Nine in which she appears, we see
Keiko as a wife, a mother, a botanist, and a primary school
teacher and we even learn a little bit about her family history.
Keiko is far from a fan favorite, but what do we think about her
when discussing the episodes she appears in and the arc of her
character?



In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Amy Nelson and Justin Oser
are joined by Jenn Tifft of the Snap Trek podcast to talk about
Keiko O'Brien. The discussion includes Keiko's relationship with
her husband, Miles O'Brien, on both The Next Generation and Deep
Space Nine, her work as a botanist and school teacher, Keiko as a
mother to her two children, what we think of her character
overall in episodes spanning 10 seasons of Star Trek, and much
more!
