Tom Paris made lieutenant, was busted back to ensign, and then promoted to lieutenant again while Harry stayed an ensign.

Clearly we can infer that off screen, he was an absolutely miserable excuse for Starfleet.

But we know the reason: according to Insaneway there always has to be an ensign on the bridge.

Lol damn, poor Harry Kim, always getting screwed. 🤣

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, although when he got back to Earth, they made up for it by making him fleet admiral.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

No, he was Starfleet's only fleet ensign.

Except by the Delaney sisters.

Becky busted her hump to make lieutenant!

Yeah, don't mock that little hunchback

From now on I'll always see Kim, when i encounter the original in some meme

It's so good

I like to imagine there are starfleet scouts with bullshit merit pips.

Or perhaps the rank of their parents for some reason

Isn't it Picard Day on the ship? Those are pips they stole offa their parents' uniforms so they could wear them to show subservience.

You just made me realize I lack the photoshop skills to make my true meme calling, cooking with Neelix

I got you, here's Cooking With Neelix:

Harry Kim died for our sins. More than once.

[–] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Are you sure these kids wern't just enjoying some delicious replicated corn? Are we sure harry wasn't?

[–] GlitterInfection@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Maybe that's why he didn't win the science fair?

Field commission. Those never hold up on inquiry.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Chakotay was field commissioned as a commander and made captain within 5 years of Voyager’s return.

[–] aperson@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Well, at least he made Captain.
