It's Ops. Base Operations. He "hangs out there" because he's the chief engineer and it's his job. Poor fella. He's part of the command crew now, so you'll see him as often as you saw Geordi.


I think it was cool because it reflects how to move up and get promoted, you have to move around. So since Geordi wasn't going anywhere, O'Brien went to DS9. Continuity.

Also, Colm Meaney seems nice enough from what I know. It was good to see him get a bigger part, and stick with a franchise across two shows.

I'm curious to see how long you like Jadzia. I wasn't expecting you to like her for what ever reason.
