Why Didn't Harry Get Promoted?

the prime timeline, the year of hell was deleted by the Big Red Reset Button. Yes, it worked veey well there, but they used it way too much, in situations where it didn't work. Even at the end of the series. That's why the "Harry the eternal ensign" trope still exists: if the Endgame timeline had been canon, it was debunked.

In the B&A timeline, the year of hell actually happened. Janeway was one of the many casualties. Hence, Captain Chakotay, Lieutenant Kim, and Security Officer Neelix.

Honestly, I wish the B and A timeline would show up with possibilities for the Voyager crew. In some ways, it did, with Tom becoming a family man and growing up really. No longer a rebel but a responsible adult.

Harry could have used similar treatment.

Disagree and I say this with Spock as my favorite Trek character. But he is not irreplaceable.

Sir! You wound me!

But you're right.

When it comes to the B&A timeline, I'm happy that nothing of it happened inh the real timeline.
The events in it were horrible. What was exciting and interesting in it was the flashbacks to Kes's life before Voyager but that's all.

I'm surprised. Given that Voyager kept Kes in that timeline, I would think you would approve.

And i'm not gonna go into the relationship between Linnis and Harry here.

OK, that was questionable. I think that Linnis should have had a longer lifespan (maybe not human norm, but maybe three decades instead of one). Which would put her in her early teens in the episode.

I think the reason for that was to emphasize the implications of relationships between species of so different lifespan. Kind of like when they had Sarek marry two human women and have both of them grow old over the course of his much longer lifetime.

Honestly, I wish the B and A timeline would show up with possibilities for the Voyager crew. In some ways, it did, with Tom becoming a family man and growing up really. No longer a rebel but a responsible adult.

Harry could have used similar treatment.

Harry just needed development of some sort, any sort.

Funny enough, "FAVORITE SON" is a Kim episode. (A bad one, too. It's won the 'Most Disliked' season 3 VOY games 5 out of the 6 times it has been played.)

Yep; I swapped "fortunate" for "favorite".
