That’s nothing, you should see the screenshots I emailed Andy to go along with this. For a fun and ridiculous read, check out the “Problematic Rank History” sub-heading in O’Brien’s biography on Memory Alpha.

Wow, what a nerd!

I wish it wasnt on AppleTV, id love to see it

From the Continuity section at https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Realm_of_Fear_(episode)

Also, for Matt’s love of uniforms: This is the first episode where O’Brien’s rank appears as a single black pip, instead of his previous (and problematic) two-gold-pips lieutenant-looking insignia. They needed it to be visually clear that Barclay (who sports one gold pip and one black pip as a lieutenant junior grade) outranks O’Brien so he could order him to beam him over, and O’Brien’s previous insignia would have confused the issue. O’Brien wears the single black pip until about halfway through DS9 until he gets a redesigned chevron-looking insignia, which is perhaps more accurate to his enlisted rank. By the way, maybe Barclay’s fears of the transporter are justified. After he beams over to the USS Yosemite, his rank insignia are backwards on his collar. If the transporter couldn’t put his pips back on in the right order, who knows what else it might get wrong??

Has Matt seen the new Tom Hanks movie Greyhound yet? As a fan of procedure and protocol, I'm curious what his thoughts are, considering easily 85% of the movie is people giving orders and those orders being confirmed by a subordinate.
