Poor wide Kim
I cackled at it when I made it, glad to see someone else enjoying it too
"You got to understand this, Kim: It's not because you are incompetent, but because you are annoying, your 'problems' go on everybody's nerves and no one likes you. You do understand that, don't you?"
"Yes, Captain. Sorry for asking."
"No worries, Kim. Now off with you on this
suicide mission on a hell-like planetmission to find vital supplies.""Ok." blows up Voyager with Paris and gets back to Earth, where he gets promoted
Anyone else notice this weird phenomenon on Lemmy? I never recall seeing on Reddit, it does not seem relegated to any specific instance or anything, but for some reason nobody here uses that meme format correctly.
It's so frequent that I almost feel like using it wrong has become a lemmy meme unto itself and I'm just out of the loop.
I think I remember why. It’s because no one is below him to step into ensign. So he doesn’t get promoted till he gets back and then made captain.
Yeah yeah, we've all heard that bullshit from employers before. "Sorry you got passed over for a raise and a promotion this year, but you're just too valuable at your current position"
Yup, the Producers said as much. Something like ‘someone has to be an ensign’.
Make people take turns being the ensign
Ensign Janeway and Captain Kim
I know they said that in production, and I personally find it funny, but in universe it doesn't make sense. Harry was the head of Voyager's Ops department. Being an upper-decker/bridge crew matters way more in practice than rank on paper. It's not like his department would explode oor even substantively change if he made Lt. JG.
Hell, Tuvok got promoted to Lieutenant commander in the middle of Voyager's flight and nothing weird happened in his department. And the less said about Tom Paris' rank situation the better.
Promote Kim. Make Paris the ensign, not like he runs a department. He just steers the ship 1/3 of the time.
