Jett Reno should be Star Trek: Starfleet Academy's version of this Deep Space Nine star

As a seasoned Trekkie with memories of Miles O’Brien etched deep into my Starfleet-loving heart, I can confidently say that the casting of Tig Notaro as Jett Reno is nothing short of brilliance. The parallels between Colm Meaney’s portrayal of O’Brien and Notaro’s upcoming role as Reno are striking, much like the similarities between a dilithium crystal and a potato (both versatile, yet fundamentally different).

Star Trek: The Next Generation introduced us to Miles O’Brien, a character who was both charming and witty. He initially had limited storylines, often revolving around his future wife Keiko. They tied the knot in season four, and their daughter Molly made her appearance in season five. Soon after The Next Generation concluded, Miles and his family set sail for Deep Space Nine.

As a gamer immersed in the Star Trek universe, I found Miles O’Brien’s character taking on a more significant role week by week. He transitioned from a supporting character to a central figure, serving as the crucial bond connecting Deep Space Nine with the broader Star Trek saga. He became an integral piece in the storytelling mechanism, driving the narrative forward. Stepping into the limelight can be challenging, but Colm Meaney, the man who breathed life into O’Brien, handled it masterfully.

As a longtime fan of both “Star Trek” and Tig Notaro’s acting abilities, I am thrilled about Jett Reno’s character development in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Having grown up watching Miles O’Brien on Deep Space Nine, I can’t help but see similarities between the two characters. However, with her unique charm and comedic timing, Tig Notaro has the potential to bring a fresh perspective to Jett Reno that could set her apart from her predecessor.

Among the most engaging characters in New Trek, Notaro possesses the potential and abilities not only to play a significant role in the series, but also to become one of its key attractions. Her charm is unique and hard to find in today’s talent pool. She might not captivate audiences in a Martin Scorsese movie or earn an Oscar nomination, but her likability ensures that viewers will be riveted whenever she appears on screen.

In many aspects, her character, Jett Reno, bears strong similarities to Miles O’Brien and Meaney. Both characters excel in their professions and possess an unusual ability to be both intimidating and endearing simultaneously. Similar to O’Brien, Reno is a down-to-earth, pragmatic, and working-class individual who resonates with ordinary people.

Casting Notaro prominently in the upcoming series could significantly boost its visibility among fans, making it more likely to be recognized widely. This strategic decision has already demonstrated positive results in terms of success.
