That right there is a union man. He transports strikebreakers to strange new walls.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Good to see Risa hasn't lost sight of Trek history

[–] BaronVonBort@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

That’s The most important man in Starfleet.

[–] Throbbing_Banjo@midwest.social 35 points 1 year ago

I've seen exactly 4 episodes of The Star Trek, and in every single one of those episodes, this man suffers but is not allowed to die.

[–] tacotroubles@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thats John Risa he's the guy who treks all the stars

To boldly go.. and fix any random transporter accident

[–] jackoneill@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

That’s O’Brien at work. His work is mostly suffering

[–] AcidOctopus@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's John Startrek, the titular protagonist of Star Trek.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Little known fact that the entire franchise was named after him

[–] Blackout@startrek.website 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's Keiko's husband. I think he's a plumber.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

That’s Keiko’s husband.

Surely she's run off with Thomas Riker by now.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 27 points 1 year ago

That is the Falcon, dangerous man, sometimes allied with Dr. Hippocrates Noah.

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 24 points 1 year ago

Smiley. Coffee, black, double sweet.

[–] IvyRaven@midwest.social 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

O'Brian and he's here to suffer. I mean transporter work. And suffering.

That right there is the most important engineer in Starfleet.

[–] WagnasT@iusearchlinux.fyi 17 points 1 year ago

This is Odo from engineering. He has a meltdown every night.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

The most important person in Starfleet history.

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

The guy with the Irish accent.

In one scene he has no accent, turns out it wasn't him but a shape shifter. I appreciate this love for details

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

That's a Leprechaun who stole gold from the Gods and as punishment must live a life of suffering.

[–] Haus@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

That's Smiley, and he suffers.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 12 points 1 year ago

Miles Spears, descendant of Britney. He's the bardic engineer. When he fucks up he starts a mini dance routine and sings "Oops I Did It Again"

[–] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

That's Jimmy Rabbitte's da' and he's very proud of his son who aspires to manage an Irish soul band in the tradition of 1960s African-American recording artists.

That's Agent Malloy! He was a huge asset that one time a bunch of convicts hijacked an airplane. Drove a fucking spectacular Corvette, too.

[–] IndefiniteBen@leminal.space 8 points 1 year ago

That's Cowen, former Chief of the Genii.

Looks like he has a nice retirement.

[–] Doug@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago

I think the answer you're looking for is

Yes

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He's the military leader of the Genii.

He is Suffering, and he suffers.

[–] thebardingreen@lemmy.starlightkel.xyz 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's Montgomery Scott, and he runs the transporters on the Enterprise.

[–] Moof_Kenubi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Or, as he's known to his crewmates, "Monty."

The most important person in Starfleet and he does everything.

[–] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Don't remember his name, but his accent is the same as all the great starship engineers: Akron, Ohio.

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago (4 children)

He’s the vapoorizer guy who makes the poop disappear!

But where does the poop go?

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Starfleet officers just shit their pants and teleport it out into space.

That would be Cowen and he's chief of the Genii.

[–] Jesus_666@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

That's Miles. His main job is to ensure that both the strongness and sweetness of correctly ordered raktajino are precisely double. In his spare time he ensures fair play at the dart board at Quark's.

He's Morgan the Goat, he took Hugh Grant up a hill or a mountain, it's a little contested and fuzzy.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Conan O'Brien. Starship personality.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

He's responsible for most of the knowledge the Discovery crew acquired about how to deal with trauma and loss after they time-jumped.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's that engineer guy from the original star trek, not sure why he's got a weird shirt on though

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

He recently made captain, show the man some respect.
