^ She can have one written for her...or the way that Mulgrew plays her could imply a personal vendetta...
Against Harry? There's not even enough there to get worked up about imo.
I liked his character. He was an ensign on a small unimportant ship. What do people expect, a boy genius who solves all Voyager problems? His portrayal is realistic, he just stands there and follows orders, decisions are made by senior officers.
It was Janeway's choice to promote him and she never did.
Maybe someone should ask her why he didn't get a promotion.
JANEWAY: Have you thought about applying to the Advocate General's office? You'd make a good lawyer. I suppose I could spare Chakotay or Tuvok for a few days.
KIM: That won't be necessary. The Kraylor know me. They trust me.
JANEWAY: I'm sure they'd find Tuvok or Chakotay just as trustworthy.
KIM: But they outrank me. If you send one of them, it won't be my mission anymore.
JANEWAY: Your mission.
KIM: My first real command.
JANEWAY: You've been in command on Voyager before.
KIM: On the night shift, for a few hours. It's not the same thing. You and Chakotay are always a couple of decks away ready to take over if anything goes wrong. I've been on Voyager for almost seven years and I'm still an Ensign.
JANEWAY: If this is your way of bucking for a promotion.
KIM: No, no, I understand there's a command structure and that our circumstances are unique, but the fact is, if we were back home, I'd be a Lieutenant by now. Maybe even a Lieutenant Commander.
JANEWAY: [SNORT/Laughter/Possibly unscripted. Mulgrew being catty?] You're pretty sure of yourself, aren't you?
KIM: I know I can do this, and the Kraylor are giving me a chance to prove it.
JANEWAY: I expect you back before we complete our repairs.
KIM: Yes, ma'am.
JANEWAY: And I'm not sending you alone.
KIM: Captain.
JANEWAY: I want you to take Seven. Since she has no rank, you clearly outrank her.
Doesn't sound too much different that the Starfleet officers that sided with the Maquis.He doesn't understand the Prime Directive. Cloaks are clearly weapons and Harry was taking sides in a war. How can you promote someone who drags the entire federation into the losing side of a lop sided conflict?
^ Soooooo not the point![]()
Do tell.^I'd have called him the straight man, but I've heard some theories about him that would force me to question, even that...
