He really tied the show together, did it not?

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

You want a stembolt? I can get you a stembolt, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you a stembolt by 3 o'clock this afternoon... self-sealing. These fucking amateurs...
The Founder draws a lot of water in this town. You don't draw shit, Lebowski. Now we got a nice, quiet little Dominion community here, and I aim to keep it nice and quiet. So let me make something plain. I don't like you sucking around, bothering our citizens, Lebowski. I don't like your jerk-off name. I don't like your jerk-off face. I don't like your jerk-off behavior, and I don't like you, jerk-off. Do I make myself clear?
Stay out of the Gamma Quadrant, Lebowski! Stay out of the Gamma Quadrant, deadbeat! Keep your ugly fuckin' goldbrickin' ass out of my Dominion community.
Fucking Chief Miles O'Brien appeared in 163 of 170 episodes, Dude
For one thing, there were 173 episodes of DS9.
And while Colm Meaney does appear in 163 of them, he is only portraying Chief Miles O'Brien in 160 episodes: in Far Beyond the Stars he portrays Albert Macklin and in The Emperor's New Cloak and Through the Looking Glass he portrays mirror universe Miles O'Brien.
I am curious where the creator of this meme arrived at the number 163, since IMDB incorrectly says that Meaney is in all 173 episodes.
ps:
good meme nonetheless
A handful are credit only and certain 2-parters are counted as 1.
certain 2-parters are counted as 1
this explains the total of 170
a handful are credit only
as a main cast member he is in the opening credit sequence of every episode, which explains IMDB saying he's in every one.
but how/where did you arrive at the number 163? i only arrived there by seeing that Memory Alpha lists 160 character appearances (which I see now does single-count Emissary and presumably two other two-part episodes) and then checking the mirror universe episodes to see if there were any without the Chief in them (and finding two) and then remembering Far Beyond the Stars.
anyway i guess either of the numbers in the meme could be correct, but not both at once: 163 is correct if you double-count three two-part episodes, and 170 is correct if you single-count them. 🤓
(and the numbers in my first comment are inconsistent in the same way.)
So maybe I'm not the only one that first thinks "Hawk from Spencer for Hire", and then my brain steps in to translate that to "Avery Brooks"
Dude can't help looking like a badass. At least, once they let him shave his head end of season 3.
“Does he still engineer?”
“Oh no. He have temporal problems”
Related question: what’s Hawk?
A character from the series Spencer for Hire played by Avery Brooks.
AKA: The coolest motherfucker on television.
That character is the reason Sidko started off with headhair and no facial hair.
F-n a, Cotton. F-n AA!
Thanks! I remember seeing promos for that show, but I never watched it.
