Did Keiko kill O'Briens spider??
- Thread starter WraithDukat
- Start date
the subtext of DS9 is all about how O'Brien suffers though life based on the terrible decisions has has made starting with marrying Keiko and leaving Enterprise. his is the true Odyssey of Trek, and his nemesis is the evil enchantress Keiko. He is the focus, the nexus of the quadrant's suffering, pinpointedly fixated on DS9 and its hapless chief engineer. His only respite is the relationship he maintains with Dr Bashir, which flourishes when Keiko abandons him, as if Circe temporarily left Odysseus to his own devices briefly. in this regard Dr Bashir is Hermes, who gives games on the holodeck as Hermes gave moly to Odysseus, freeing his mind even as Keiko even takes over the womb of Kira, the one O'Brien would have truly loved if only for the miasma of his bonds.
In the end though O'Brien is no king of Ithica. He is a homeless man of duty, and his duty is to Keiko. He leaves his true love Kira and his manly love Bashir to continue on in misery with her. Of course she ate the spider.
Don't most cats come and go as they please, or at least pretend they can?
Absolutely. But if Data himself can't figure out how they get in and out of quarters, they must have a transporter or they're transphasic or something.

Probably she let O'Brien eat it, disguised somewhere in one of those less conventional 'Japanese' breakfeasts she likes him to try.
Nah, I think O'Brien just kept the spider till it died, we just never saw it anymore.

Well it wasn't a human spider since O'Brien found it on a alien planet. What if it was sentient and finally found away to communicate with O'Brien and the Enterprise returned him to his home planet where he was King of a powerful and evolved Spider race. They were having engineering problems with some of the their spider tech and O'Brien fixed it. This so impressed Starfleet they decided to promote O'Brien and give him a job on DS9.

Spider-Barclay might have mated with it in Genesis and unbeknownst to the crew, there were half Barclay/half spiders living in the ship's basement.
Do ships have basements? Hmmm
Gonna have to kick that one around for bit.....damn cob webs!
Cargo Bays are the basements of Starships. Sadly the only two real basements we ever saw on Trek was being held by some racist in the "Voyager" ep where they went to 1996 and Meela's basement were Garak,Kira and Damar hide.

Spider O'Brien sounds like a gangster. "I'm gonna bite you see? myah"
Spider O'Brien was a member of a super-intelligent species tasked to observe the human race, and determine their weaknesses and the best means to enslave them.
But then after spending years with O'Brien, it concluded that humans had suffered enough.

You don't think Starships have bilges? You're probably right...
Does that make the Nacelle crawlspaces the attic?
No attic's are for storing old stuff you never see again and for spooky shennigans which to be fair is the same reason for basements. The Nacelle crawlspaces are more like the the room where you keep the washer and dwyer. Out of sight but a place you visit a great deal to do officials house stuff.
