/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Another small detail: because Len is carrying two skateboards in the original episode (the second is offscreen in this particular shot), I added a second bat'leth peeking into frame.
One thing that always threw me off about that whole scene...they're all posing as Klingons to infiltrate a Klingon celebration. Even with (fan theory head canon) universal translators there's still be the issue with the mouths not matching the words, because Klingons certainly wouldn't be speaking English. Worf would be just fine, Sisko probably could have picked up conversational Klingon, and Odo may be smart enough as is...but O'Brien certainly wouldn't be able to
I can't think of any media that addresses all possible "universal translator" type plot holes. It really requires a bit of suspension of disbelief.
I've thought about this before, especially when the crew is visiting pre-warp / pre-universal translator societies. At least when it's someone like the Klingons you can really stretch and try to justify it with something like, "maybe there are a lot of different languages lumped under Klingon, so everyone is using translators all the time anyway."
This makes sense. Another theory is O'Brien's character had a speech impediment related injury gained during whatever action won him his award.
