      you know, I have to assume that O’Brien is falling into these traps on purpose.

      Either he has a very particular fetish or he’s trying to get away from someone.

          Seriously… Rosalind Chao was screwed by whoever was writing her lines.

          and not in any way anyone would like.

          • She played the part excellently though!

            I always hate spouses in shows when they don’t get non-adversarial screen time.

            Pretty much every time we see someone’s partner that isn’t on the main roster, it’s because there’s “trouble in paradise” and we are usually supposed to side with the main characters.

            So they always get a bad reputation as a negative character, and even if they play their part beautifully, they aren’t being given proper development.

              right! Chao was amazing, and Keiko could have been a wonderful and loved character. but no, they trotted her out whenever they needed to make Miles suffer or be “conflicted” or whatever.

              even just a few b-roll scenes with them on the promenade or the halls on the Enterprise could have worked miracles there. Or, like, all the B-roll shots of Miles with other people, having a few where he’s hanging with Keiko. (can you imagine how great a running gag it would have been to have Keiko setting Beshir up on random blind dates? maybe also with Garak helping with the plotting…)
