Hard Time

[jbake]

What happened to O'Brien's cellmate Ee'char, when O'Brien killed him in the accelerated prison sentence.

Did Ed'char die in reallife, or did the jailors leave O'Brien to believe that he had killed Ee'char. While Ee'char served his sentence else?

Ee'char was a figment of the simulation, not a real person. There was nobody to kill. O'Brien took the action of attacking his cellmate, and perhaps if the experience had been real he might have killed a real cellmate, but nobody actually died.

I'm not sure there ever was a real Ee'char. Or if there was O'Brien never met him. The Ea'char O'Brien knew was only in his mind, part of the fake memories put into his mind.

I feel sorry for the Chief... he's been through more disturbing crap than most other charaters in Trek..

I liked the episode, but wish that it would have been used to bring back Sito Jaxa like originally planned.
