@Apologist re: Miles O'Brien

Yes, Miles is indeed a fine character.

He elevated the art of transporting (formerly only performed by red-shirts) into a full career (sorta like a techified-tollbooth worker.) Then he was able to convince upper management that his ability to hit a button to ENORJIZE should translate into a LIKE-A-BOWS Chief Engineer posting on DS9.

Huh.

This leads us to the inescapable conclusion that a Transporter Jockey on TNG = Chief Engineer on DS9, showcasing the greatly reduced expectations of DS9 characters and capabilities.

Since he originated in TNG, he can't be considered for adding value to DS9 even if he could pulp Geordi in a fight.
