Think of it like Joffrey in Game of Thrones, if there’s a character portrayed as unlikeable and you agree, they’re doing their job. That aside, she’s done some solid VO, plus her roles in What Dreams May Come and 3 Body Problem.
Yeah, never understood where the attraction originated. Her first appearance on TNG is for their damned wedding! No build-up, just blam. Now, I’d be remiss if I didn’t recommend watching DS9, which is the series where O’Brien gets his spot in the sun. From where we leave them in TNG and pickup at the station, is a whole other story. Through the good and bad, worth its weight in latinum.
She was also pretty unremarkable in TNG, a total background character- not ragging, but they never explored her character very well- compare her to Luxwana Troi….
Luxwana had fewer episodes but way more character development. The DS9 rolls out and they take her into a harpy.
They definitely could have handled their character better,
There’s probably more, but it boils down to weak writing and characterization. But mostly, it’s for the memes.
The woman who plays Keiko is one of the best actors on the show? Jeez, you’d never know it from how the writers used her…

What Dreams May Come, fuck :(
My wife and I always blame O’brien (at least in TNG. Haven’t watched the other series he’s in).
Dude marries a woman and proceeds knows basically nothing about her family/culture.

Definitely been on my list. Just never got around to it.

So it’s more like hate on O’Brienship, rather than Keiko?
