Yeah. And Bashir too, on a console no less, so that when he has to take O'Brien down to sickbay because he's been seriously wounded (on the bridge while the shields are still fine) they're now down two stations.Aaron wrote:I think they had given up at that point. Didn't they have Ezria on the bridge as well at some point?
They're at least sticking to precedent here. Bashir was on the bridge at one of the consoles in 'The Search part 1' and he took over the helm in that very episode when a redshirt died after the ship took another hit.uraniun235 wrote:Yeah.

If I remember my TNG correctly, it's to go crazy, be involved in plots against the Federation, do something illegal or otherwise make life miserable for the Captains.Stofsk wrote:Why do you even have Admirals if they don't, y'know, fucking command fleets of ships in a battle?
Speaking of fuzzy chain of command, what was up with O'Brien giving orders to Ensigns? He was supposed to be an enlisted character, so why not just make those Engineering peeps crewmen and leave off the pips?Stofsk wrote:Look at best, the chain of command is fuzzy

O'Brien was literally retconned into being an enlisted man despite appearing on TNG numerous times with lieutenant's pips on his collar.RogueIce wrote:Speaking of fuzzy chain of command, what was up with O'Brien giving orders to Ensigns?

Yeah I know, TNG-era Trek has always been weird about the officer/enlisted thing, but when you intentionally insert an enlisted character in the show, you'd think the writers would at least leave the various red/goldshirts O'Brien barks at with vague ranks if nothing else. Explicitly naming them an Ensign is just, well...
Yep, that's the excuse for TNG. So I live with that.Stofsk wrote:O'Brien was literally retconned into being an enlisted man despite appearing on TNG numerous times with lieutenant's pips on his collar.
That certainly explains Nog taking orders from O'Brien when he came back as an Ensign (as Memory Alpha informs me).Stofsk wrote:on the other hand everyone knows ensigns are pushovers
Look the Federation is more enlightened than 20th century Earth barbarians so surely a Proper NCO like O'Brien would respect an officer's rank.timmy wrote:Or. Or.
