Harry Kim's crush turned into a zombie alien WTF

Harry's fallen for...
A woman 70,000LY away from him,
The wrong twin,
Alien vampire women,
A liberated Borg,
A 2-year-old (maybe 3),
A woman with a glowing disease,
A zombie human turned alien,
A holodeck character who sometimes turns into a cow,
A holodeck character who wasn't actually a holodeck character,
And a terrorist.

He dies a lot, Cupid spits in his face, and he can't get a lieutenant's pip to save his life. Yeah, sucks to be you, Kim.

Derran Tal was my favourite one. That one actually messed around with being in love.
 
I still can't get over how Seven commanded him to give her one and he chickened out. This is exactly why he's not captain material.
 
Interesting...

Neelix has sex with a woman who has highly limited life experience... and people say he's a creeper.

Harry does not have sex with a woman who has highly limited life experience... and people deride him for that.

To screw or not to screw? Doesn't matter, you're wrong either way.
 
She had been living as an individual for about five minutes. It would have been taking advantage of her. Harry deserved to be promoted to LCDR just for restraining himself.
Especially since he got a reprimand for not restraining himself that, according to Chakotay, would go on his permanent record and impact future promotions...more so than already.
 
That's a poor comparison. Seven was a fully grown woman. Kes was an alien elf child
Was Kes though? Her species have short life spans but live a full life. While young and naive, I'm not sure she can be called a child simply based on her age. I assume by Ocampan standards she's an adult
 
Harry/Tom didn't go anywhere for the same reason that Harry Potter/Ron Weasley didn't go anywhere: the two participants simply had no same-sex attraction*. Ditto with O'Brien/Bashir, which was why Keiko encouraged the friendship in "Accession".

Remember that Harry Potter's only meaningful romance was with a character who was basically his best mate without the Y chromosome.

I can see a Starfleet CO reviewing personnel records of various candidates for a posting on their ship. "Seven years as an ensign? And a formal reprimand to boot? Forget it."

Obviously she was. As (in an alternate timeline) Harry came to understand firsthand. Ocampa simply gain physical and emotional maturity at a highly accelerated rate. And, Seven followed a similar path. She might not have been ready for a relationship mere weeks after her removal from the collective, but a few years would have been another story.
 
Well I hope he found success as a writer. Because he was unlucky both in Starfleet and in love.

His garage is full of boxes containing the book. He gives them out at personal appearances at local schools. Most used books stores refuse to take them.
 
Good to know that nice guys still finish last in the 24th century. Seems like it's a constant, like "two hydrogen and one oxygen make water".
