TNG s5e11 “Hero Worship”
No offense to Mr. Harley Venton, who played Chief Hutchinson. Presumably, Colm Meaney was not available for shooting at this time. We’ll take what we can get.
sometimes you need to rearrange your duty shift so you can help keep the space ghost who possessed your space wife from destroying the galaxy. I would think of all people Worf understands the kind of shit you
hide fromgo through when you have a family.I think he was selling fried fish from a truck in Dublin at the time.
Must be his first day or something. Chief Hutchinson does not appear to be suffering.
thank goodness the universal translator’s not on the fritz
it’s probably going to take the rest of TNG to unwind and fix all the randomly “improvised” fixes O’Brien was rocking. Sure, they might be more effecient, but hardly starfleet approved
O’Brien didn’t do much improvising on the Enterprise. It was a big reason why he took the position at ds9, he wanted something that actually took cleverness and ingenuity to make work.
Like a hodgepodge of Cardassian and Federation technology.
Incidentally, Rom was the one making makeshift solutions more of the time. O’Brien had resources available to solve his problems, but Rom learned by using whatever materials he had on hand.
Like self-sealing stem bolts
Ha, true. But I’ve always assumed those are thoroughly logged/documented and eventually become SOP if they make sense. At least, that happened in ENT.
The NX was a prototype ship. By the time a ship class becomes production (like the galaxy class in TNG,) the repair manual is pretty well established.
Sure there might be a way to eek out some extra performance, but usually it comes at some other cost (like it breaks shit faster,)
Right. For sure.
I thought I remembered Geordi showing some improvements to Leah Brahams and, after she was appalled by them, she reconsidered and said she would recommend them as SOP (or something like that).
I guess if I needed an excuse for a TNG re-watch, there it is.
O’Brien could’ve beamed Data and Timothy through all that shielding.
