Don't count on the Deep Space Nine star angling for a Star Trek: O'Brien any time soon.

If anyone earned their retirement, it's Miles O'Brien. Maybe he could show up for one scene, where he lets the rest of the team know that, just like Wolverine did in First Class.

But he is the canonically most important person in starfleet history!

I like to think that, whatever it is that earns O’Brien that distinction, it had already happened by the end of DS9. Probably some technical wizardry he came up with while hacking together Cardassian and Federation technology. Just something he did to get the job done, but that would be fully appreciated as a genius piece of work with huge applicability sometime well after his death.

It wouldn’t fit if he were honoured during his lifetime, true.
