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.

He’s also doing a job that rated a Lt. Commander’ pips on the Enterprise.

[-] SmoothLiquidation@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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.

Harry Kim had all the flavor of a chayote popsicle.

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.

Chayote is a veggie (technically a fruit I guess) that is mostly water and notably flavorless. Now imagine how flavorful a popsicle of it is.

[-] the_sisko@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Probably more flavorful than Chakotay, but that's not saying much :)

I’d it a 7 out of 9.

[-] teft@startrek.website 18 points 1 year ago

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!

He got to be a Captain in Star Trek Online, at least.

[-] jernej@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

He also got captian in the Voyager alt future didn't he?

[-] Disgustoid@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

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.

Out of curiosity, is this instance run by the same people as r/startrek?

[-] kamenLady@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] Icaria@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it appears to be trying to look legit, but that doesn't tell us much. I guess I could try making a really softball joke about Disco, and if I get a mod go on a childish power-trip over it, that'll solve the mystery.

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.
