Obviously, this [“Hard Time”] is another ‘O’Brien Must Suffer’ episode. Ira Steven Behr sums up the rationale for these episodes; “Every year, we like to drive O’Brien totally mad. We did it with “Whispers”, we did it with “Tribunal” and “Visionary”, and we did it again the following season in “The Assignment”. We just like to hammer him because he’s such a great character. And he’s so accessible. You feel his pain, and even though it’s a TV show and you figure he’s gonna come out all right at the end, you’re still compelled to root him on.” (x)

My brother’s going to die, isn’t he? I won’t hear that from you.

I’ve never liked putting my people into someone else’s command. You’re Senior Tactical Officer, but they’re my team. And I can’t help but think that… if I’ve been there, things might’ve turned out differently.
