    O’Brian relives his worst moments while grading papers at the Academy.

    It’d be a step up from Picard.

      The stresses of becoming headmaster, putting up with that insufferable EMH, and the occasional visit from Keiko, Molly, and Kirayoshi. These episodes practically write themselves.

        I’m just trying to decide if it’s a sitcom or not…

        You know, the kind where you have a “straight man” who is driven nuts by his zany friends/family/coworkers for the enjoyment of the audience?

          Well, kinda. Bear in mind, this is O’Brien. His suffering is our entertainment, but it also serves as the mirror for the shit we all must overcome. They called him “Smiley” in the alternate universe for a reason.
