37 Years Later, One Underrated Star Trek Character Is Being Celebrated In a Surprising Way

— CBS/Paramount

Almost four decades after the debut of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and 25 years after the end of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the one character who spans both shows is getting some interesting recognition from his future birthplace. In the Star Trek timeline, in 2328, Miles Edward O’Brien was born in the Irish town of Killarney. And now, this working-class hero of Starfleet might end up as a statue. Which, strangely enough, would fulfill a prediction that Trek canon actually made in 2020.
