    Is it time to make fun of forever-Ensign Kim? I think it’s high time for a promotion in fact, or maybe even a double one?..

      Without spoilers, if you haven’t seen the last season of Lower Decks, let’s just say Harry being a perpetual ensign was not forgotten.

          You gotta watch it.

          The penultimate episode literally made me squeal out loud, and I’m about the most stoic person you’ll ever meet.

            I swear it’s one of the top episodes in the franchise now.

            Also, according to an okudagram shown close up by someone who worked on it, Harry is a lieutenant during Prodigy.

            I want to! That sounds like the top one to start with if I haven’t seen anything since Enterprise, right? I just need my irl situation to calm down to find time to watch things.

            Tbf I did make time to watch Dune part 1 before it leaves Netflix entirely next week (and I’m so glad I did), but with any Star Trek show ever since Paramount left Netflix I have to spend far more attention either deciding how to pay for it or else to pirate, and then either way to go through the technicals of making it happen. And while I’m okay to pirate singular things, I do wrestle with the ethics that it doesn’t feed forward towards the creation of new material. Fuck their corporate greed to fragment the market, but that’s on them while I’m trying to figure out what I feel comfortable doing about it in response.:-(

              The good news is the whole series Bluray release comes out on March 25 and looks like it’ll be between $50-60.

      Wouldn’t a double promotion be to Lieutenant? Kim is an Ensign, next is Lieutenant Junior Grade, and then full Lieutenant.

      But then again, when has voyager ever made sense? Jk.

        Maybe it’s bc this is forever-Ensign Kim under discussion here? A double promotion for him might end up being “Ensign”! 🫠🤪🤡

        Like they add new ranks below him and then demote him to them, just to be able to “promote” him back to Ensign each time?:-)

    To annoy the everliving shit at a phaser distance!

    Silly Kim, the Borg can select what to assimilate and what not.
    And the Borg do not tolerate ensign music war crimes.

      Silly Kim, the Borg can select what to assimilate and what not.

      Except for the times they couldn’t, such as In the cases of Hugh, Icheb, and Endgame’s Janeway vs Borg Queen.

      Okay maybe the last one isn’t fair since Janeway did have the future advantage. But the other cases showed that entire cubes were lost to this sort of attack.

      I for one fully support Kim’s weaponized concerto

        Yes, you are right, but they claimed that (that they discard what they don’t need from a new assimilation).
