Even if he never graduated, just for prosperity's sake, he should have finished his coursework? Redundant and unnecessary, or vital and topically of interest?
You can't start a paper in "History of Ice Cream" and just bug out half way through!

So, if they're not trying to give the viewers what they want, and avoid pissing them off... how does it work, exactly?
Except it's not the same position. Shelby was a LCDR in BoBW, field promoted to Commander by then-Captain Riker. By the time frame of Picard, she was a fleet admiral. Harry's intended role on PIC was that of a captain, just as he was in "Endgame", STO, at least one novel, and probably a bunch of other non-canon sources as well. His part in the show was deleted, supposedly due to financial/logistical considerations... but I don't buy it.
He might have finished his coursework, the necessary part of it anyway, in the field.
Would it have pissed Kim fans off more or less if he'd been shown in a non-Ensign role only to apparently be summarily killed?
Because I wasn't thrilled to see Shelby brought back in this manner, with no evidence that she survived and plenty of evidence that she didn't.

Since I disliked Shelby on TNG, I wasn't emotionally invested in her later version.
Indubitably. But from what I understand, Harry was supposed to appear on the show as a captain, not die. In other words, we would see that despite his very difficult beginning on Voyager, he had a successful Starfleet career. The character deserved that bit of dignity.
TV writers are human and they use social media. I'm sure more than one Trek writer has stopped by the hallowed halls of TrekBBS too. I know that TV production isn't routinely driven by fan feedback. However, just like any other group of fallible, flawed humans, I'm sure it has happened occasionally that a decision in a writer's room gets made specifically to either please or irritate the fans.
Why not? This forum's been around since the 20th century, after all.
Mike Sussman and David Goodman were registered posters here once upon a time. Sussman posted mostly while Enterprise was in production, I think Goodman's most recent post was in 2017 around the time when his Picard Autobiography was released. IIRC, Ron Moore once mentioned Trek BBS by name in a BSG podcast.
Spent to much on the sets.. I mean ALOT.
Alot of people were wanted for the show, but not much money chasing after it. SO we got a couple here or there. "in a perfect world" etc.
Just have him be Captain of the Voyager B.. he he.

Exactly. A few seconds of dialogue, and Harry's successful Starfleet career is established.
Not even that, just show a screen of the ship, and have "Captain Kim" on it. done.
Well, Academy establishes that he made it to Admiral, so that's that.
There's two versions of that wall, one with a lot of names (Harry's included) deleted. So I'll wait on celebrating until the series drops and the wall still has his name on it.
Where can the "deleted" version be found?
Where did you see that?
I've only seen the same version they've shown since the first time they showed it, and I've watched every teaser so far.
They're doing what they want to do. Fans don't usually factor into it.
Unless you're the Discovery writers according to Nicholas Meyer, he claims the writers on Season 1 spent too much time caring about what the fans will think and it annoyed him.
I suspect an answer will not be forthcoming.
It's not the first time I've had the results of a previous Google search fail to show up on a later attempt.
