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.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 29 points 2 years ago

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 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

No, he was Starfleet's only fleet ensign.

Except by the Delaney sisters.

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

It's so good

Becky busted her hump to make lieutenant!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, don't mock that little hunchback

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] BeneGesseritWitch@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I got you, here's Cooking With Neelix:

The captain have them his pips. One for each boy and two to the girl. Iirc.

[–] admiralteal@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] tacotroubles@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Or perhaps the rank of their parents for some reason

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Harry Kim died for our sins. More than once.

[–] rustydomino@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait did you photoshop a pip onto the meme template? Lmao

[–] Snoopey@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think he also photoshopped Harry's face

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

That's a lie and you know it

[–] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I literally just saw this episode. God I love this community.

[–] GlitterInfection@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Field commission. Those never hold up on inquiry.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] aperson@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

Well, at least he made Captain.
