The Other O'Briens: Miles and Kira. When Nana Visitor became pregnant during DS9, the writers found a unique way to write the pregnancy into the series. We explore the issues it created between the O'Briens… and the O'Briens.

The Orb 56: The John McClane of Deep Space Nine

Great O'Brien Episodes. Miles was always a likeable character even when he did little more than man a transporter room on the Enterprise-D. But when the Chief came over to DS9 he took center stage. We pick some of our favorite Miles Moments.

The Orb 9: Atlas With a Smile

Miles O’Brien. One of the longest-running characters in Star Trek, his hands-on approach to life endeared him to friends and family. If there is anyone who could hold the world on his shoulders it’s Miles O’Brien—and he’d do it with a smile.
