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 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 25 points 11 months ago

No, he was Starfleet's only fleet ensign.

Becky busted her hump to make lieutenant!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, don't mock that little hunchback

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.

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

[–] rustydomino 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Snoopey 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think he also photoshopped Harry's face

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That's a lie and you know it

[–] FlyingSquid 14 points 11 months ago

Harry Kim died for our sins. More than once.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] tacotroubles 5 points 11 months ago

Or perhaps the rank of their parents for some reason

[–] [email protected] 11 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 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] GlitterInfection 9 points 11 months ago

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

Field commission. Those never hold up on inquiry.

[–] mercano 8 points 11 months ago

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