Xa ucinga Inkwenkwezi yetrek kukho amagama ambalwa athi gqi engqondweni. U-Kirk no-Spock bakude kwaye kude nabalinganiswa abaziwayo kuthotho-kwaye izizukulwana ezincinci zabalandeli zingaphendula Isizukulwana Esilandelayo U-Captain Picard okanye u-Q njengabanye abona bantu banobunkunkqele kwi-franchise. Nokuba yeyiphi na Ukuhamba Umboniso yindawo yakho yokutsiba, nangona kunjalo, uMiles O'Brien akafane abe yimpendulo efika engqondweni xa sicinga Inkwenkwezi yetrek Abalinganiswa abathandekayo-kwaye yinto embi leyo. Nangona isenokungabi ngoyena mntu waziwa kakhulu, okanye nokuba ngowona mlinganiswa uthandwa kakhulu kuthotho awabonakala kulo, uMiles O'Brien ngomnye wabo Inkwenkwezi yetrek ’Abalinganiswa abanomdla kakhulu nabangaphantsi koxabiso.
Uziswe ebomini nguColm Meaney (obhiyozela usuku lwakhe lokuzalwa lwama-68 namhlanje!), UMiles O'Brien waziswa okokuqala njengenkosi yomthuthi I-Star Trek: Isizukulwana esilandelayo -Umdlali oxhasayo mhlawumbi owayengalibaleki kubabukeli ngexesha lesimbo sakhe saseIreland kunye nobuhlobo noMlawuli weDatha. I-Franchise ephezulu inyuse amandla akhe, nangona kunjalo, nasemva kokuphumelela ngempumelelo TNG , U-O'Brien wenze ukutsiba kwilungu eliphambili kwi-cast I-Star Trek: Isithuba esiPhezulu esithoba , apho wadubula ngokwenene waba ngumntu ophawulekayo Ukuhamba iphela, ukwakha iiarcs zamabali esele zisekiwe kunye nokuluka kwimicu emitsha yomlinganiswa.
Kuyavunywa, ukuba igama elithi Miles O'Brien alikhalanga intsimbi kuwe kanye kwi-bat, kungenxa yesizathu esivakalayo. Nangona ungumlingiswa wesibini ohamba ixesha elide Ukuhamba Imbali (ngasemva kukaMichael Dorn's Worf), uphawu luka-O'Brien, kukuswela igama elingcono, zenziwe ngobunjineli ukudlala ifiddle yesibini. Ngelixa abanye oonobumba beTrek bethandwa ngenxa yeliners yabo ye-quirky-one, iimpawu zomzimba ezingalibalekiyo, okanye ubuchule obungaqhelekanga, u-O'Brien ngumntu wonke ozikhethele-uhlobo lwabaphulaphuli beme-ngaphakathi ngokusemandleni akhe xa edlala kwezinye, abalinganiswa abakhulu .
Kulula ukutsala iliso xa ungumbindi wokuqwalaselwa, kodwa ukuba ume ngaphandle njengomdlali oxhasayo uthatha isipho esikhethekileyo-kwaye yiloo nto kanye ubugorha uColm Meaney abambe njengomdlali weqonga TNG kwaye I-DS9 . Ubudlelwane bakhe obungalibalekiyo buyinxalenye yesibini esinamandla kunye nogqirha ka-Alexander Siddig onamehlo aqaqambileyo uJulian Bashir, lowo u-O'Brien wakha ubuhlobo obuthandabuzekayo. Ngelixa sihleka kwaye sithatha indima yethu ngamehlo ethu kwi-antics enomdla kakhulu kaJulian Bashir, kukucaphuka kuka-O'Brien kunye nomsindo owenza ukubetha kwe-comedic kwezo ndawo kubonakale kusebenza. Ubukho bomhlaba obufunekayo obufunekayo xa abanye babalinganiswa abangasenangqondo bebhabha kwi-monologue ye-techno jargon-u-O'Brien uhlala ekhona enombonakalo odidekileyo, ongachukumiswanga okanye uluvo olunxungupheleyo lokulinganisa isixa esibi kakhulu se-sci-fi kumaxesha amva e Isithuba esinzulu esithoba .
Ngaphezu koko, ukuthembeka kuka-O'Brien kudlulela ngaphaya kokudlala nje ngqo kumlingiswa o-goofy kwiibhithi ezihlekisayo-uhlala esetyenziswa rhoqo ngababhali njengemoto yokuphonononga imixholo engqamene ngakumbi, enemixholo yekhola eblue kunye nezifundo ezingasoloko zibonakala zihamba -esandleni kunye neendawo zokulwa kunye ne-Vulcan mind melds. Esinye seziqendu ezikhunjulwayo (kunye ne-trailblazing) isiqendu kukuba I-DS9 I-4 × 16 Bar Association, apho u-O'Brien ekhuthaza iFerengei Rom ukuba iqulunqe umanyano kwaye yenze uqhankqalazo emva kokudikwa ziimeko zokusebenza ezingenabuntu kwibhar yomntakwabo uQuark.
Yisiqwengana sobudenge, ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa Inkwenkwezi yetrek ugqwesa ekusebenziseni ubunyulu kunye nesci-fi ukujongana nemicimbi yobomi bokwenyani, kwaye uMbutho weBar ngumzekelo obalaseleyo welinye lamaxesha anqabileyo Ukuhamba Ukuwisa kungumxholo wekhola eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka: imibutho yabasebenzi. Nangona Inkwenkwezi yetrek iyathandeka kwaye iyimbonakalo yamabali ayo ngokufuthi okufundisisa kunye nefilosofi, ayisoloko ingumboniso ofikelelekayo- kwaye ngo-O'Brien, ilungelo lokuthengisa ilungelo lokuthengisa lalinendlela yokubonisa izimvo zetyuwa-yoMhlaba kwisayensi ekude- Fi setting.
Ubume obuphantsi kuka-O'Brien bomhlaba kunye neemvakalelo zesiko ezininzi zamenza waba ngumjelo ogqibeleleyo wokuphonononga esinye sezifundo ezinqabileyo zelo franchise: ubungqongqo. Ukuhamba yaqala njengomfanekiso welizwe lase-Utopian apho inzondo kunye nokuxhaphaza kwakuyinto yexesha elidlulileyo, kodwa njengoko i-franchise yaqhakaza kwaye ikhula, yafumana iindlela zokujongana nezo zimvo ngaphandle kokuphulukana nokunyaniseka kwelungelo lokuthengisa. Kwiintsuku zokuqala Uthotho lwangempela , yayihlala rhoqo ngokusebenzisa iinkcubeko zamanye amazwe ukuba abaphulaphuli babone ukubonakaliswa kobuhlanga kunye nokuzimela okuvaliweyo, kodwa ngokungeniswa kukaMiles O'Brien, ilungelo lokuthengisa lakwazi ukujongana nesihloko ngendlela entsha-ngelensi yomntu ophambili.
Kunqabile ukubona nayiphi na i-franchise ekulungeleyo ukubeka ubugqwetha kumaqhawe ayo ngaphambili nakwiziko, kodwa yile nto kanye Inkwenkwezi yetrek ukwazile ukwenza noMiles O'Brien-ukuphonononga inzondo kunye nokuvala ingqondo ngokusebenzisa umntu ophambili othandwayo ngendlela yokuba bobabini bahloniphe umlinganiswa kwaye baphonononge umba ngengcinga kunye nobunzulu obungachazwanga ngaphambili. Kuyinyani engeyiyo into yokuba nabahlobo bethu abasenyongweni kunye nabo sibathandayo bonke bavaliwe engqondweni-kodwa ngo-O'Brien, Inkwenkwezi yetrek ukwazile ukuphonononga apho intiyo ivela khona kwinqanaba elincinci, elingaphezulu lomntu.
Isizukulwana Esilandelayo I-4 × 12, Wonzakele, sisiqendu sokuqala apho umlinganiswa ka-O'Brien aqwalaselwa khona kakhulu-kwaye, ngenxa yoko, ikwisiqendu sokuqala apho sifunda ngomsindo wakhe kugqatso lweCardassian. Esi siqendu siveze ukuba u-O'Brien wayemi kwisikhululo sombutho i-Federation apho umkhosi waseCardassian ngempazamo wayekholelwa ukuba ugcina isizinda semikhosi semfihlakalo sase-Federation esiza kuhlasela iCardassia. Kananjalo, iiKardassians zavula eyazo into eyaphikisayo, ekhokelela ekubulaweni kwabo bonke abantu ngaphandle kwenkampu.
Ukusukela ngoko ukuya phambili, u-O'Brien wayenenzondo enkulu kubo bonke abantu baseCardassians xa bebonke-ikhethe lomntu eliya kuthi liphinde lijongwe Isithuba esinzulu esithoba Iziqendu zeTyala, iParadesi, kunye ne-Empok Nor. Yintoni enomdla ngendlela umboniso oyiphatha ngayo inzondo ka-O'Brien kumaKardassians kukuba bobabini bayayamkela ingcambu yomkhethe wakhe kwaye uyabugweba ubundlobongela bokugweba kunye nohlanga lonke ngezenzo zabambalwa abakhethiweyo. U-O'Brien, ngama-akhawunti onke, ungumlingiswa othandekayo-lijoni elilungileyo, umntu osebenza naye ongcono, kunye nomhlobo othembekileyo. Unconywa ngabaphathi bakhe bobabini kunye namagosa asebenza naye-ukanti unesiphene somntu esicace gca nesibaluleke kakhulu esixakekisa inkonzo yakhe e-Starfleet, kwaye enye iyavuma ngendlela enentsingiselo ngumboniso.
U-O'Brien akafezekanga-uyayazi, abaphulaphuli bayayazi, abanye abalinganiswa bayayazi-kwaye yiyo loo nto imenza abe ngumlinganiswa osebenzayo. Uxelelwe ngumfazi wakhe uKeiko ngokwenza amagqabantshintshi malunga nabantu baseCardassian-inkqubo yokubonisa ukukhumbuza abaphulaphuli ukuba neezinto eziqingqiweyo esizibona kumabonwakude zinamaphutha, amanani abantu. Ngaphezu koko umboniso uthatha inyathelo eliya phambili-ukuba u-O'Brien ngokwakhe avume ubuhlanga bakhe nalapho buvela khona. Kwenye ye Isizukulwana Esilandelayo Eyona migca mihle, uxelela ijoni laseCardassian ukuba ayinguwe endikuthiyileyo, waseCardassian; Ndiyayicaphukela into endiyiyo ngenxa yakho.
U-Chief Miles O'Brien akanguye umlinganiswa omenyezelayo, kwaye (ngexabiso lobuso) akayindima enomona njengomdlali weqonga. Kodwa ngokunyaniseka kukaColm Meaney, Inkwenkwezi yetrek ukwazile ukuphonononga inani lezifundo ezinamathelayo ebezisilele kabuhlungu ezandleni zomdlali weqonga ongenabuchule kunye nabasebenzi bokubhala. Ukusuka ekuzibandakanyeni kwakhe kwimibutho yabasebenzi ukuya kwixesha lakhe lemfazwe i-PTSD ukuya kwintiyo yakhe kuma-Cardassians, u-O'Brien waba luphawu lwendlela Inkwenkwezi yetrek inakho kwaye kufanele ukuba iphonononge iziphene kwi-Federation njengokuba ihlola ubuhlanga kwiinkcubeko zamanye amazwe. Kungenxa yokuba wena unayo iimpazamo, oko akukwenzi ube ngaphantsi kweqhawe.
