  This community must be the most fun and original on the whole of Lemmy, lmao.

  I love it

    I can count on at least a good few chuckles a day out of this community.

    Hell yeah, I have yet to catch up (still watching TOS), but the memes were the reason I finally started watching it a couple of weeks ago.

  Hell, even ensign Sonya Gomez who spilled hot chocolate all over Picard made it to captain. Not that I’m seeking any justice for Harry, it’s just fun pointing out everyone else’s success.

    Throw T’lyn (promoted after a short stint of time served offscreen) and Tom Paris in too.

    The Tom Paris one was absurd and Harry was right to call it out when Paris made lieutenant again before he was even considered.

    No no, Harry deserves justice. 7 years ensign and even flew back in time to save them. Na starfleet did him dirty

      Technically it wasn’t a full 7 years. I mean, the Harry Kim that was there at the end wasn’t the same Harry Kim that was there at the beginning.

    Harry did make captain in the alternate timeline where voyager took 21 years to get home.

      I’d like to think that half the crew died along the way, and it got to the point where promotions were being handed out just to keep the ranks filled.

      “Shit, we lost another commander. Lets promote one of the remaining lietenants and…hey, Harry, how do you feel about getting another pip?”

  Remember when Kelvin Spock just left Kirk on some random ass planet to fucking die?

  Good times.

  source

  • Stamets@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    No because that didn’t happen? Spock ejected Kirk on a planet with an M-Class atmosphere that also had a Starfleet outpost nearby to the landing zone. Kirks survival wasn’t guaranteed but he wasn’t exactly marooned and left for dead.

    • EdibleFriend@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      If he wasn’t leaving him for dead would have sent him to the outpost. Not off in the middle of some ice wasteland with deadly monsters. He didn’t even give him a phaser did he? Kirk had to just fight it?

  Putting Kim’s head on that guy is quite possibly the best use of that pic I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen some damn funny versions. Nice!

  Poor Data never got a promotion through seven seasons and four movies. The only time he held higher rank might have been the alternate future the Romulans manufactured for Riker on a holodeck to try to trick him into revealing secrets.

  • DokPsy@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    During the Klingon civil war, he was temporarily made Captain of the USS Sutherland

    This is also where Data shows serious BDE to his racist(?) first officer.

    • SquishyPandaDev@yiffit.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Captain, as in head of the ship, not the rank. He was still Lt. Cmdr. Unless I’m missing remembering the episode

    He briefly served as Captain during TNG Gambit 1 and 2. And he made damn sure Worf knew it too!

    source

    • ensignrolaren@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      The scene where Worf says “it is I who have endangered our friendship” always makes me cry.

    He did lose control of himself on multiple occasions, even endangering the whole ship…

    source

    • KevonLooney@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      So did Picard, a number of times. “Bridge officer goes cuckoo” is a standard theme. Geordi was turned into a Romulan assassin. Worf de-evolves and kills multiple members of the crew.

  Harry Kim follows the same ethos that Beckett Mariner does. Higher rank means more responsibility, more accountability, and less fun. He’s happy where he is and bless him for it.

  • DrChaotica@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Somebody ought to ask Garrett Wang what he thinks about that. (Remind me 11 months from now and I’ll do it at next year’s Dragon Con if I get the chance.)

      It’s going to remain my headcanon for now. I’ve started to imagine a subculture within Starfleet of people who join for the experience but not for the ambition of rank and authority.

  Haha dude I’m being dead serious that was a hell of a write-up over that scene. Go you.
