Colm Meaney became known to the Star Trek community as Chief Miles O'Brien, first serving aboard the Enterprise on Star Trek: The Next Generation before his character moved to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Meaney played the character from 1987-1999, appearing in 225 episodes. Since then, the Irish-born actor has gone on to appear in popular series like Hell on Wheels alongside another Star Trek actor, Anson Mount, who is now playing Captain Christopher Pike on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
The prolific actor has maintained a busy schedule since his time on Star Trek came to an end, and now, he's being honored for his fifty-year career by being awarded the Irish Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award. Dame Judi Dench and Gabriel Byrne have been two of the other recipients of the award, and Meaney was quite surprised when he was announced as 2025's recipient.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Netflix's Kaos.
The soundtrack of Kaos mixes together contemporary genres with classical music, mirroring the dark comedic, contemporary take on Ancient Greek myths. Kaos is a hilarious, raunchy story that follows three humans who learn theyre destined to fulfill a prophecy that will bring down the Greek gods. The unhinged story thrives partly because it incorporates all the darkest and most twisted parts of Greek mythology but approaches them with a sense of humor. The narrator, Prometheus, helps set the sardonic tone for the series. However, another aspect of the show that contributes to its success is the soundtrack.
The episodes of the Netflix comedy show are packed with songs that shape the tone for the audience. The music that plays with each character in Kaos also reflects their personality. Scenes with Dionysus include eclectic music popular in the LGBTQ+ community. Zeus leans...

Having a blended family is not always easy, because any of them might choose to live with your ex and it would sting. Kourtney Kardashian has sadly felt this experience, and according to an insider, she’s not handling it all that well.
Kourtney Kardashian – Having A Hard Time Raising Her Blended Family
Kourtney Kardashian may have her hands full with baby son Rocky Thirteen Barker, but she’s also suffering the blow from her eldest son choosing to move out to live with his dad.
This is somewhat expected in a blended family, because when Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian tied the knot, they already had children from previous relationships.
Kourtney Kardashian shares three children with ex Scott Disick: Reign, 9, Penelope, 11, and Mason, 14.
In the same way, Travis shares two and a stepdaughter with Shanna Moakler: Landon, 20, Alabama, 18, and stepdaughter, Atiana De La Hoya, 24.

Sad Star Trek episodes reflect harsh realities of life, showcasing that even in utopia, pain and trauma are universal constants. These episodes draw parallels between our world today and the hopeful future envisioned in the Star Trek universe. While Star Trek showcases humanity overcoming baser instincts on a larger scale, individual characters are not always blameless.
There are times when Star Trek sets aside its status as a bastion of optimism and hope for the future, and delivers episodes that prove heartbreak will remain a universal constant, even in the utopia that is the United Federation of Planets. Trauma, wrongful imprisonment, senseless character deaths, lost loves, and even tragic transporter malfunctions are all to blame for the pain inflicted by Star Trek episodes with downer endings.
Star Trek episodes with sad endings hit hard, and they do so by drawing parallels between our world today, and the world that we dream of for tomorrow.

O'Brien's suffering in "O'Brien Must Suffer" episodes allows the audience to connect with his character on a deeper level. Episodes like "Whispers" and "Hard Time" showcase O'Brien's resilience in the face of intense mental and emotional challenges. The dynamic between O'Brien and his family, especially with his wife Keiko, adds a human element to the sci-fi drama of Star Trek: DS9.
"O'Brien Must Suffer" is a unique subgenre of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, but which one is best for the audience and worst for Chief Miles O'Brien (Colm Meaney)? Originating in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Chief O'Brien became a regular member of the Star Trek: DS9 cast because the producers wanted to give Colm Meaney a bigger role. Promoting the show a month before it aired in the Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine #1, Meaney said that O'Brien was the same as he was in Tng,...

As indie production outlet Part2 Pictures celebrates its first 10 years, the company’s approach to documentary storytelling — premium content with high production values — has moved more into the mainstream.
“We have been doing what people now call ‘premium’ from the beginning,” says Amy Bucher, Part2 senior vice president of programming and content. “It’s as natural to us as air and water. We just think that’s the way you should tell stories.”
Lisa Ling has worked with Part2 for the better part of a decade, first with five seasons of “Our America With Lisa Ling” that aired on Own, and now with “This Is Life With Lisa Ling” for CNN. She believes the audience for such premium content in which Part2 specializes has always been there, but the current real estate between traditional networks and streamers have helped provide a larger platform.
