Let me know what I've omitted from either list. O'Brien still "wins."

Thanks for the additions. There really is a nuance to O'Brien's harrowing life. Lower Decks or Starfleet Academy should attempt to showcase his rise to "Most Important Person in Starfleet History" with just a few more dashes of suffering between.

Just realized I forgot the time that his wife got turned into a 10 year old. A 10 year old who got mad at him for being uncomfortable with physical affection at a time when she is going through something crazy and wants to feel comforted. Forget the Kobayashi Maru, that right there is the real no-win scenario.

Now if only I could go back to forgetting that episode.

Yeah, thanks for the reminder.

They forgot to mention that by that time, "important" has changed meaning and means "tormented."

I'm wonder if Colm Meany is done with playing the suffering Irishman though…
