The Garrett Wang brand, Harry Kim, is a big Star trek: travel Character, and although there was a problem with its larger arc, the spectacle resolved it at some point – even if it was only temporarily. Wang was part of the Star trek: travel Cast from the start, making teacher Kim a key figure in the return trip for the holder of the show.
However, Kim’s professional career hits something from a radiant dam In the show, the guarding stuck in the rank of sign throughout each season of Star trek: travel. While Ensign Kim has done several things Traveler It should have won him a promotion, Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) never tried to give her operations officer a second pip.
Harry’s failure to go up in the ranks Star trek: travel has become a major subject of discussion among fans of the series. The oddity was made greater by the length of its service aboard the ship and the fact that other crew members were promoted around it. That said, Traveler gave an overview of the next step in Harry’s career.
“Before and after” shows that Harry had what it takes
Star trek: travel Season 3, episode 21, “Before and after,” is led by Jennifer Lie As she wakes up in the alternative future aboard the ship, but with almost none of her memories. So, it assumes that everything she sees is always the way they have been, but the episode continues to reveal that this is not the case.
The future that Kes live is not a real extrapolation of Star Trekmain chronology. When she wakes up, she is in fact at a time of an alternative reality beyond the date on which travel would end up returning to earth, only the ship is still blocked in the Delta quadrant. As such, many is different from what the show was going to reveal during subsequent seasons.
One of the greatest variances is that Captain Janeway was killed in combat during the year of hell – a tumultuous period which would become an important part of Star trek: travel Season 4. During the year of hell of season 3, Janeway did not survive the prolonged meeting with Krenim, so Chakotay (Robert Beltran) inherited the captain’s chair.
The forced change in the ship leadership has also meant that other promotions also occur, including Harry Kim. The character of Wang can be seen bearing a badge of Lieutenant grade Throughout the temporal adventures of Kes in “before and after”. Thus, Captain Chakotay clearly gave Kim the promotion that the late Janeway had.
Lieutenant-commander Kim was a real possibility
The future has witnessed in “before and after” Sharing similarities with the version of the calendar that would return to prominence, but there are also countless differences between the two. For example, the seven of the nine of Jeri Ryan are not part of the crew of “before and after”, when it would have been on board for years at this stage of the main chronology.
Seven to the crew’s contributions have considerably changed the fate of traveling, so it is logical that its absence has a huge impact. The repercussions of these different divergences could easily mean that traveling has never reached the land, or that the ship has taken much more time to do so. SO, Lieutenant Kim has probably become older and older Over time.
Captain Chakotay needed replacements after the year of hell
The year of hell and how it all happened seems to be the biggest factor in the way in which the various deadlines in “before and after” have evolved. The return of Kes of the alternative future with information on Krenim then contributed to its own time, while the year of hell which occurred without Intel having had an even greater number.
Losing Janeway, B’Elanna (Roxann Dawson) and other crew members during the hell year is finally what made the new captain become. In turn, Chakotay promoted Harry. In Traveler Season 4, The sacrifice of Janeway strikes the whole year from the hell of existenceeven to restore your own life in the process.
Thus, Janeway was never required to promote Harry because she had never needed another lieutenant. Unfortunately, Captain Chakotay was left behind the superior officersThis is why Harry was promoted. On the other hand, Lieutenant Kim existing in a period beyond the initial return date of traveling, the prolonged service of Harry could also explain his promotion.
In other words, if traveling has been stuck in the Delta quadrant for over seven years, Janeway may finally have considered it necessary to promote from the insideAnd Harry would have been the next online. When seen in this way, it becomes particularly obvious that the place for advancement, first, travel was very limited due to the circumstances of the ship.
Even a captain Kim appeared on the screen
“Before and after” is not the only one Star trek: travel Episode that shows Harry bearing a row badge beyond the brand. Other alternative deadlines have also revealed that it had been promoted, but not generally within the limits of the seven -year period that Voyager initially spent in the quadrant Delta.
At the end of each respective episode where it occurs, Star TrekThe main chronology is restored and Harry is back to a sign again, blocked a long distance from his native world. Harry Prime did not appear in Star Trek Since TravelerFinalBut other versions of the character arose.
In Star Trek: Lower discs Season 5, Episode 9, “Fissure Quest”, Wang returns to the franchise to express many multi -life counterparts of his original character. While most are still brands, a phenomenon that is strongly referenced, we finally reached the rank of him.
“Fissure Quest” implies with humor that Janeway was right to never promote Harry, as Lieutenant Kim Lower bridges continues to become a surprisingly good villain. Of course, Kim is Starfleet from start to finish, so I strongly doubt the version of Harry that we know and love Star trek: travel Would never use this path.
