    Poor Harry. That knobhead Tom Paris got busted down to Ensign and back up to Lieutenant, meanwhile Harry Kim is a perpetual Ensign and has to be Captain Proton’s sidekick.

        That makes sense since the Enterprise is the flagship and Voyager was a lot lower in the fleet. It would make sense that the flagship would have a lot more experienced crew.

      Maybe they did the opposite of what they offered Wil Wheaton: gave Garrett Wang a raise in real life instead of a promotion for his character.

        Brutal

        Edit: lol I read “Chakotay popsicle” which I inferred to be rather flavorless, thus this was a diss on Harry. Now I see it’s chayote and I have no idea whether this is flavorless or a diss.

    I hope they mention him in the episode where Lower Deckers are promoted. They never shy away from being meta and I love them for it.

      Rutherford: is anxious, doesn’t know if he’s ready for his promotion

      Mariner: Listen dude, you’ve gotta get promoted soon. You don’t want to beat Harry Kim’s record do you?

      Boimler: Yeah, he was in the Delta Quadrant, so it’s kind of understandable, but if we take seven years to rank up, it’s just sad.

      Tendi: Wait, they didn’t promote him for seven years? Oh no, is that gonna happen to me? I don’t wanna be an ensign forever!

      Mariner: Chill out. You’re literally already in senior officer training.

      Tendi: Oh, right! Phew!

    BAH GAWD, THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY!

    But seriously, how hard would it have been to devote a few minutes of one episode to promote him even if he still had the exact same duties that we saw on screen?

    Ever see that pic of Harry Kim laughing with a manic smile on his face while being shot with a phaser?

    Sums up his entire character arc.

      To quote TAS computer: “This is for us to know and for you to find out” No, seriously - i remember some talk about the former r/startrek folks wanting to move to lemmy and create startrek.website …

      Edit - i just took a look at the sidebar:

      The new home of r/StarTrek, r/DaystromInstitute, and sigh …r/Risa

      So it seems to be so

    Stamets, I’m browsing through Risa today, and your memes are consistently absolute freaking treasures. I just want to thank you for enabling me to avoid responsibilities and reddit.

    … I am also acquiring them all.
