Earl Grey 116: The Minstrel Boy

Chief O'Brien.

Husband. Father. Soldier. Bored transporter chief. He goes by
many titles, but Chief Miles Edward O'Brien made an impression on
Next Generation viewers from the first moment he piloted the
stardrive section of the new flagship in "Encounter at
Fairpoint." Even though Miles changed from red to gold (and
changed ranks even more often!), this secondary character was a
vital part of the Enterprise-D crew. Daniel, Darren, and Phillip
lay out a character profile that follows Miles from his wedding
to Keiko, to the birth of his first child Molly, and all the way
until his last moment in Transporter Room 3, before he
disembarked on a seven-year adventure on Deep Space Nine.

Join Earl Grey as they go through Chief O'Brien's many episodes,
analyzing his "every man" role, his unique role as a Starfleet
non-commissioned officer, and how his reactions to "boldly going
where no one has gone before" made the series even stronger. So
cuddle up with your pet spider, get your ship ready to be placed
in a bottle, and enjoy this character profile on Chief O'Brien.
