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 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months ago

No, he was Starfleet's only fleet ensign.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago

Except by the Delaney sisters.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

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

It's so good

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Becky busted her hump to make lieutenant!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, don't mock that little hunchback

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months 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.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Or street corn.

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 11 months ago (1 children)

I got you, here's Cooking With Neelix:

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

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

[–] admiralteal@kbin.social 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] tacotroubles@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Or perhaps the rank of their parents for some reason

[–] rustydomino@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Snoopey@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think he also photoshopped Harry's face

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago

That's a lie and you know it

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Harry Kim died for our sins. More than once.

[–] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 13 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

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

[–] GlitterInfection@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Field commission. Those never hold up on inquiry.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

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

[–] aperson@beehaw.org 5 points 11 months ago

Well, at least he made Captain.
