Chief O'Brien can kick your ***

What about doctors with accents?

McCoy, Bashir = way cool
Crusher, Voyager's holographic doc = not cool.

Well, I liked Crusher, though I liked her replacement better (can't recall her name). The holo doc was just strange.

Dr. Palaski (the spelling if probably wrong). I didn't like her nearly as much as Crusher - I don't know why, but I've always liked Crusher better.

As for the holo-doc, I found him to be just plain funny. Richard Picardo did a pretty good job. His cameo in Insurrection was funny too.

The quality of the season DVDs is pretty good. It's not great, but it is comparable to when the show was running live on Fox. I have all 7 seasons and for the most part I never had an issue with the film quality, although the special effects in season one (I was 4 at the time it was on TV ) were a bit corny.

Then again, my opinion shouldn't weight too heavily - as I was big fan who enjoyed Voyager

It was Pulaski.

Yeah, so did I. He certainly developed better than any other character, neither was his development a bit (can't think of the word to describe how Seven of Nine did).

I think it was First Contact, to distract the Borg.

Same with me. Although I didn't get into it (or Trek at all) until a few episodes into Voyager season 7.

**Please don't hurt me.**

I think your reasoning may be off just a bit. O'Brien couldn't have served on the Enterprise and DS9 at the same time (the series overlapped for one year). When DS9 started, the Chief left the Enterprise. He would have been on Trek for 13 years as the last year of TNG he would have been on DS9. If memory serves, the Chief wasn't in any of the "present day" scenes of "All Good Things." Let me know if I'm wrong. That was one of my favorite episodes of TV ever and it has been a few years...

You stole my thunder. I believe he left TNG during the 5th season, which means that he and Worf are only one season apart in terms of total number of years served in front of the camera. However, since Worf was a major TNG character, he would outrank O'Brien and have more XP.

Sorry 'bout dat. I couldn't resist.

Sounds about right...

What development of Seven are you speaking of? The constant "I disobey Janeways order and never have to face the consequences"-development?

Back to our O`Brien fandom:

But O´Brien did already serve during the Cardassian War on Setlik, and thus was already an experienced Character before he even was shown on screen.
Worf had little background before he came to the Enterprise - he was to young.

Oh, and I just remember a nice scene, even if it has nothing to do with O`Briens "level", just with some movie trivia :
In a DS9 episode where they found a crashed Jem`Hardar Vessel on a planet, he had a discussion with one of the younger officers (a yellowshirt, the TNG/DS9 version of a redshirt, you know) while they are climbing a few cliffs, who was worried that it would be to difficult for him:
He said something like: "Back in Ireland I climbed bigger mountains than this, so don`t worry about me". "Ireland has no mountains, only hills, Chief."
Which seems to be a reference to a movie Colm Meany played in, the title something like: "From an Englishman that climbed a hill to come down from a mountain" (I only remember the German title). The english man in that story is ordered to make a new estimation of the local mountain, and figures out it is to small to be a mountain and thus has to become a hill - but the village nearby insists on it beeing a mountain (it seems very important to them), and tries to increase the hills size...

Hmmm. So it seems I was wrong about O'Brian's term of service on the Enterprise - D. Rats.

I'm not so sure his pre-show service fighting the Cardassians would count for much. Wouldn't those just be levels of warrior? I'd have a hard time crediting him with PC levels for that.

Good to know about the DvDs. I'll hold off on picking them up until they're re-released on laser cube or whatever medium comes next.

Sorry. I didn't want to seem too negative. But I guess if the shoe fits... (or, such as the saying goes)

Even warrior levels aren`t that bad - he still gets BAB and HP from it ;-)
And it has been an important part of his past (and is used in several episodes).
I believe it was even the time where he became the technician we all know - before a certain incident during the war he wasn`t that great in technology things... (Unlike all other Engineers in Startrek, I think.) I believe he was forced to repair a transporter or die...

Yeah, I remember that part of his background. What he got from that experience serving onboard USS Rutledge under Captain Maxwell who responded to a distress call on Setlik III, the site of the Cardassian Massacre, is where he began to developed an interest in engineering, by repairing a balky field transporter. It is also from that rescue mission where he developed a hatred for Cardassians.
