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

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

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

[–] BaronVonBort@lemmy.world 36 points 11 months ago

That’s The most important man in Starfleet.

[–] tacotroubles@lemmy.world 32 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 14 points 11 months ago

To boldly go.. and fix any random transporter accident

[–] jackoneill@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Throbbing_Banjo@midwest.social 29 points 11 months 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.

[–] AcidOctopus@lemmy.ml 29 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

Little known fact that the entire franchise was named after him

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 25 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Blackout@startrek.website 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

That’s Keiko’s husband.

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

[–] IvyRaven@midwest.social 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A good observation that is often overlooked when it comes to St O'Brien, the Star Trek patron saint of pain and suffering, lesser known as the patron that protects against transporter malfunctions ... eh, or causes them, I forget which one it is.

Smiley. Coffee, black, double sweet.

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That right there is the most important engineer in Starfleet.

[–] WagnasT@iusearchlinux.fyi 16 points 11 months ago

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

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

The most important person in Starfleet history.

That's Smiley, and he suffers.

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 13 points 11 months 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 11 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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 Cowen, former Chief of the Genii.

Looks like he has a nice retirement.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

He is Suffering, and he suffers.

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He's the military leader of the Genii.

I think the answer you're looking for is

Yes

[–] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

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

[–] thebardingreen@lemmy.starlightkel.xyz 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Moof_Kenubi@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

The most important person in Starfleet and he does everything.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Jesus_666@feddit.de 6 points 11 months 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.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

He recently made captain, show the man some respect.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months 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.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Conan O'Brien. Starship personality.
