One of those things: you HAVE to replace it with something better otherwise it seems like you were cheated or lied to. Think if someone borrowed your car but put a full tank of gas into it. You would be kinda upset if the tank was empty.
It would've been gold had Martok glanced down and said, "That's not the Captains Desk." and the ever helpful Julian adds that the Chief is going to paint it!
Kira's completely exasperated "get it out of here!" Kills me. Seven years of putting up with Miles and Julian's shenanigans has left her frayed like the stations long suffering mother.
But he made no profit in it. Though it is why I love how he was able to be a great Starfleet officer but still retain being a Ferengi even if he didn't make profit.
@@SultanFilm typical Ferenghi have a goal in their deals, to make a profit. His goal was to get needed items that were hard to obtain. I'm pretty sure if he tried to make a profit instead, he could. He lacked self confidence.
If they had the design specifications on file then Nog wouldn’t need to borrow the desk in the first place. He could just replicate one for the other Chief.
While access to an industrial replicator is possible, certain materials "lose" something when replicate especially natural materials. A replicator is able to rearrange particles to duplicate an item but it loses subtlety in certain features such as the grain of wood and the tactile feel of certain material. Why do you think federation crews STILL bring back fabrics and materials from shore leaves despite being able to molecular scan an item to be replicated later?
Picard walks in: That's not the captain's desk. Q: *appears* Right you are Jean Luc, this is a dilemma... Borg transmission: Resistance is futile, but that isn't the captain's desk. The Flash: I'm from another dimension, really messed up this time, but I'm pretty sure something's out of place here. Q: That isn't the captain's desk. What are you doing here anyways? The Flash: Oh, that makes sense. I messed up even worse than usual.
It was truly magnanimous of General Martok to give O'Brian a day to return his blood wine. Most Klingons would have torn him from limb to limb for much less.
@@DawoudKringle most would try, remember it's O'Brien he is one of best federation soldiers, besides he was beaten so much he is probably immune at this point.
"The Captain will never suspect we changed desks on him...". I love at this point Julian went into full sarcasm mode... And then the "maybe he's not coming back...maybe he's decide to make a run for it". I stopped watching this as an innocent dumb throwaway comment and started interpreting this as one of Julian's 'I'm totally gonna start screwing with Miles' moods.🤣 And then getting all fake outraged at Kira... "HE'S GONNA PAINT IT!!!". So funny! And for some reason he seems to have gone a wee bit Scottish on the four words "It's the wrong shape."... I love that he's so not helpful in this scene.🤣
....poor O’Brien. If only he had access to some sort of duplication device that could make an exact copy of a desk or even a drink! If only there were such a thing in this setting...
They always said you can taste the difference and maybe copy the desk but not it memory, that desk a computer with memory files. Gotten make sure the browser history are deleted of the old desk.
Although there could been more. It was unlikely at this time the changeling virus and the wormhole being closed to dominion. It likely that only the female changeling is on the alpha quadrant side. This is base on her visit with odo during the dominion occupation of bajorian space.
In one of the first episodes O'Brien must repair some replicators that don't function properly all over the station. At the end he informs Sisko proudly that everything works perfectly, and he leaves. The commander orders a coffee from the replicator and after he takes a sip and realizes it doesn't taste right, he yells angry: "O'BRIEN!!!!!!!". It would have been funny if they would have kept repeating this gag - O'Brien tries to fix things or change stuff, but keeps messing things up, while Sisko gets mad and screams "O'BRIEN!" while the sound is echoing throughout the whole space station.
O Brian can fix a broken cloaking device in a handful of hours and probably completely rebuild the warp drive on the Defiant inside a day but can't cobble together a decent copy of the Captain's desk in a similar time span.
Yeah - she kind of doesn't deal well with change (despite loving a changeling)...I mean she went to town on the provisional government for "selling out to the Federation", she doesn't want Romulan weapons on a moon in the Bajoran-System (despite the fact that the Romulan Empire helps provide security etc. for the system!) and she doesn't like it that the resistance fighters aren't in control of Bajor -.-
There is reason to believe that copyright laws would still be in effect and digital rights management could be incorporated into the replicator operating system. Hence, if you wanted something that is an original piece of work, you'd have to buy it. It might be limited to a certain run of digital copies available (similar to an NFT), and/or have an open marketplace bid structure. Replicator patterns probably have a ton of public domain, royalty free, types, which would suit the masses. But again, if you want an exact replica of a creatively made object, it's not a free for all. Oh, and sure O'brien has the technical talent to hack the system to make a copy anyway but it would be illegal and Starfleet officers follow the law.
@@oldtwinsna8347 I don't think it really works that way. Though I can see copyright being something that Federation-made replicators would be concerned for, I don't think that it'd be that high a priority. Another way you can see it is that a replicator may be able to produce anything within its databank, the replicator's size and database are limited. If you had a replicator that was programmed to replicate a small wooden sphere, that sphere will be replicated down to every grain. But if you wanted a cube, you'd have to find the program for the cube despite it being made from the same material. Though the computer could possibly make a code for you, something more complicated like a wind-up toy or specific tool wouldn't be easy to spontaneously generate correctly without having to design it yourself, or maybe the replicator can only replicate the parts because what you need is too large for it to create whole inside its recess. The replicator is a very miraculous machine, but even miracles have their limits. As for the desk, Dukat may have been egotistical enough to consider making his desk a custom job from a craftsman in order to one-up his constituents, and the one that O'Brien replicated was the closest match.
Reminder: not only did Nog get all the stuff back in time AND get the part O'Brien needed, but O'Brien decided to sail the "great material continuum" with Nog again, at the end of the episode. As ridiculous and comedic as the Ferengi characters could be, it's important to remember that Quark killed Klingons and Jem Haddar (he just didn't think it was worth bragging about) and brokered peace treaties, Rom saved the entire Alpha Quadrant, and Nog proved that Ferengi business acumen could be invaluable to Starfleet (especially given the perennial importance of logistics). This is why Star Trek Online had Nog made Chief Engineer of the U.S.S. Enterprise... under Captain Data. (Whose abilities as a commander were repeatedly proven during the course of TNG) sto.gamepedia.com/U.S.S._Enterprise_%28NCC-1701-E%29
The Klingon one was an accident. But he still kill several genetically engineered supersoldier of Dominion. Even capture one of the Dominion votla to save his mother.
1:04 I keep thinking, that Martok was not so much mad about the Bloodwine - but that Obrien would *dare* to blame this on the couragous Nog, that Martok respects!
@neil999ish personally I think Nog was jumping the gun in a lot of ways, after all he was a Starfleet officer yet he jumped the shark by trying to enforce Bajoran law on the station. Stuff that even Odo didn't bother with, like the noise ordinance
Remember, just because you can replicate the desk, you still need the credits. working for star fleet is not free. they do have credits they earn on replace of money. it was in the pilot and behind the scenes. but if the chief did do that, it would have been a boring episode.
d'nomar senoj No they do NOT use credits internally and they don’t get paid. Starfleet only uses money when dealing with non-Federation cultures. It would have cost O’Brian nothing to replicate a new desk. A better explanation would be that they don’t have the pattern for Sisko’s desk on file, which why O’Brian replicated the desk he did. Having said that, Nog could have scanned the desk and sent the guy a Holographic file.
You could just level with the captain if it doesn't get back in time. We need a critical and otherwise unavailable part to maintain readiness in a time of war. The price was the use of your desk for a few days. Deal with it. It's not like we sold your soul. For transactions involving that, talk to Garak...
Even if Sisko was somehow okay with having his desk gone for a few days, he ain't smooth talking his way with Martok. If he wants his bloodwine back, you better get it back or else.
the fact they can't replicate the captain's desk, and a pitiful white imitation is the only thing O'Brien can get... I feel like that was a little joke just to illustrate how bad his day is going.
Replicators, from what I gather, require a certain amount of energy stored in the ship or station that is designated for replication. Any garbage is likely converted into energy to be made into something else. In times of war, or in Voyager's case of being in the Delta Quadrant, the crew is put on replicator rations to save energy for the ship to use.
you'd think with federation industrial replicator, he could.. ya know just replicated an exact copy of the captain's desk.. Same for the guy taking picture.. and an holodeck..
"Julian, I need help, not sarcasm" "Then why did you invite me?" "Julian are you going to help me or - " "We literally have a 3D printer onboard that can create anything, and you literally have access to everything on board this station, Chief. If you need my help replacing a plank of wood when we're capable of space travel and practically limitless spontaneous creation than you're clearly not thinking straight." "..." "That or the writers never bothered to watch a fucking episode. For fucks sake, I never even curse at any point throughout the series."
I don't get it: Why didn't O'Brien simply replicate the damn desk! (Use Bashir's photographic memory to construct a holo-model and then replicate it and connect it to the station like Sisko's original desk was!)
Materiel was extremely limited/scarce/regulated during this point of the war and o brien didnt want his ass on any req padds about a desk when the same replicator input could make 1000 quantum torpedos
So, this show survived on plot holes. They have "industrial replicators" (per the episode where Commander Eddington steals some for the Marquis) that could replicate HUGE structures. Just make and exact copy of Sisko's desk with that.
But it has to be the exact copy and that is a problem if that pattern is copyrighted. It was a Cardassian station so the desk, which was originally Dukat's, may been a famed artistic piece of work by a Cardassian carpenter, a Bajoran artisan who worked for the Cardies, or even a Ferengi supplied piece. Dukat was pretty arrogant and probably demanded the most finest pieces of work in his office. So while the Federation doesn't use money internally, they would respect copyrights of other worlds. A digital rights management system could tag the pattern was a copyright and refuse to replicate it without first compensation being paid to the copyright holder. That copyright holder may refuse to sell outright or set a price so high that it would make even Quark faint at the price. Not far fetched either, as current day digital rights management on multimedia runs pretty much the same way if you want to do it legally. Being Starfleet, they would follow the laws and not pirate stuff.
no material for it. I wouldn't want my boss, his boss (that 1 admiral guy we see in a lot of ds9) or other admirals, and ALSO many specific agency heads or secretaries like the supply chain divisions or the war materiel planning division see MY signature/code/what have you on using precious materials during a life or death war for a frickin desk
I'm with Bashir, O'Brien has done a terrible job, surely they have the specs for the desk in some holoprogram and he can just replicate it instead of trying to reconstruct it from memory. Sisko was able to make an entire Bajoran ship from plans.
Plot-wise it makes no sense they- or the person who wanted it- couldn't just spit a copy out of a replicator or something. It's probably a standard model of desk.
I always loved how Nog didn’t just return Martok's bloodwine, he replaced it with the best vintage available.
One of those things: you HAVE to replace it with something better otherwise it seems like you were cheated or lied to. Think if someone borrowed your car but put a full tank of gas into it. You would be kinda upset if the tank was empty.
Not that it comes up that often, but whenever I see the number 2309 I instinctively bellow "THERE IS NO FINER VINTAGE!"
O'Brien must suffer, even in comedy B-plots.
better than making Worf the chronic whipping boy of every TNG plot.
It's because he's Irish.
So much for the luck of the Irish.
Speaking as an Irishman, that phrase is meant to be ironic...

You can tell Martok is doing his best to be patient.
I mean pretty much anyone would be pissed if cases and cases of wine sent to them by their spouse disappeared.
He comes from a culture were a fight to the death is considered an appropriate response to fuck ups and insults. The guys Klingon ghandi.
Martok always had an edge for diplomacy. 🐾
By Klingon standards, he's being downright angelic.
The only reason Miles is still alive is Martok respect him a lot and that's the only reason
Don't panic, O'Brien! Just get 16 cases of Cardassian Kanar. He'll never notice the difference...just paint the bottles red...
hahahahahahahaha!
+Veelasiren RIP Miles O'Brien
PERFECT.
seems legit
What about the twisty bit on top?
The ultimate thing is that Nog joined Starfleet over not having the lobes for business yet made deals that would impress any Ferenghi.
But he made no profit in it. Though it is why I love how he was able to be a great Starfleet officer but still retain being a Ferengi even if he didn't make profit.

Love how Julian is just winding him up with a straight face. "Maybe hes not coming back...maybe he's made a run for it!"
If I was O'Brien that be the point I have taken a runabout and made a run for it
For those wondering "Why can't he replicate it?", well the real answer is we can forgive that nitpick because this scene is hilarious.
If it was worth mentioning, you'd have a throw away line, "That was a Cardassian desk, we don't have the replicator pattern on file."
Simple they dont have a industrial replicater
If they had the design specifications on file then Nog wouldn’t need to borrow the desk in the first place. He could just replicate one for the other Chief.

Its the wrong shape, the wrong height, the wrong width. Other than that, it's perfect.

O'brien on the outside: Oh yeah, I'll get it, don't worry.
O'brien on the inside: I'm gonna kill that kid!
"Understood?" so Chief O'Brien looks at Worf...lol
If only there a pale, simple tailor on the station who can help O'Brien
a society with matter replicators and Obrien being a master engineer, couldnt replicate a new desk
This is why you never share your passwords.
And the lesson here is: Never trust a Feregi with your access code- you never know what he will do with it!!!!!
Dont ya just hate it when you order the black desk and Ikea ships the white one? 😆 Man I love this show.
Everyone sure is making a big deal over Gul Dukat's desk.
I know it's hwite, I'm gonna paint it
That’s how he beat the Kobe Oshie Marue
Uh oh . Nog gonna have some splainin to do.
I don't get it: Why didn't O'Brien simply replicate the damn desk! (Use Bashir's photographic memory to construct a holo-model and then replicate it and connect it to the station like Sisko's original desk was!)
Copyright. This is like saying copy commercial software when you only have a single use license. Illegal. Starfleet officers follow the law.
Sisko would know. You always know your own desk.
Materiel was extremely limited/scarce/regulated during this point of the war and o brien didnt want his ass on any req padds about a desk when the same replicator input could make 1000 quantum torpedos
Space the final frontier These Are the Voyages of the Starship Yorktown they seek out new life and new civilizations its five-year mission
Just replicate a new one
Snag the Desk at Empok Nor
My God will everyone stop taking it out on O'Brien!!
So, this show survived on plot holes. They have "industrial replicators" (per the episode where Commander Eddington steals some for the Marquis) that could replicate HUGE structures.
Just make and exact copy of Sisko's desk with that.
But it has to be the exact copy and that is a problem if that pattern is copyrighted. It was a Cardassian station so the desk, which was originally Dukat's, may been a famed artistic piece of work by a Cardassian carpenter, a Bajoran artisan who worked for the Cardies, or even a Ferengi supplied piece. Dukat was pretty arrogant and probably demanded the most finest pieces of work in his office. So while the Federation doesn't use money internally, they would respect copyrights of other worlds. A digital rights management system could tag the pattern was a copyright and refuse to replicate it without first compensation being paid to the copyright holder. That copyright holder may refuse to sell outright or set a price so high that it would make even Quark faint at the price. Not far fetched either, as current day digital rights management on multimedia runs pretty much the same way if you want to do it legally. Being Starfleet, they would follow the laws and not pirate stuff.
no material for it. I wouldn't want my boss, his boss (that 1 admiral guy we see in a lot of ds9) or other admirals, and ALSO many specific agency heads or secretaries like the supply chain divisions or the war materiel planning division see MY signature/code/what have you on using precious materials during a life or death war for a frickin desk
I'm with Bashir, O'Brien has done a terrible job, surely they have the specs for the desk in some holoprogram and he can just replicate it instead of trying to reconstruct it from memory. Sisko was able to make an entire Bajoran ship from plans.
Gen Mortok is the Goat 🐐🐐🐐
Plot-wise it makes no sense they- or the person who wanted it- couldn't just spit a copy out of a replicator or something. It's probably a standard model of desk.
