As a series, Star Trek has made more than a few mistakes over the years, and buying fans Romulan ale will likely air a list of grievances longer than Worf’s Buttress. But perhaps the strangest mistake is that previously voyager Officer Harry Kim was never promoted from second lieutenant despite seven years of on-screen misadventures. Now, it looks like Star Trek is ready to right that wrong in the funniest way possible: with the official trailer for the final season lower deckwe see a plot involving a multiverse of Harry Kimes, one of whom has the coveted second lieutenant Pip.
We still don’t know what Star Trek’s typically stupid plot was that led to Kim’s convergence like this (we’re betting on some kind of multiverse shenanigans). lower deck This episode seems to have corrected the franchise’s strangest mistake.
Aside from Captain Freeman’s sarcastic narration, most of Star Trek: Lower Decks The trailer is full of random funny moments that will whet your appetite for the next season. Harry Kim fills the room at the end of these moments, but everyone appears to be voiced by the original person. voyager Actor Garrett Wang. When the agitated second lieutenant pointed out that one of them had “got two pips,” the suspected second lieutenant asked an incredulous question to a room full of familiar faces. “Are you guys still second lieutenants?!”
We still don’t know what Star Trek’s typically stupid plot was that led to Kim’s convergence like this (we’re betting on some kind of multiverse shenanigans). lower deck This episode seems to have corrected the franchise’s strangest mistake. As mentioned above, poor Harry Kim was never promoted in his life. voyagerseven seasons.
According to Garrett Wang, who played Kim, producer Brannon Braga bluntly answered why his character wasn’t promoted: “Someone has to be a second lieutenant.”
That would be an insult to any actor, but it’s even stranger when you consider that Kim’s on-screen best friend, Tom Paris, was demoted and re-promoted in a shorter amount of time than Kim did without changing any ranks. It seemed to me.
Why on earth did Star Trek producers make such a strange character decision? lower deck has now finally been properly fixed (sorry, Prodigy fans, but that nameplate depicting Kim’s promo almost looked like an easter egg in the anime)? Notorious producer Rick Berman thinks it makes sense in theory, previously claiming: voyager‘s dilemma (limited resources, no support, trapped on the other side of the galaxy) will make promotion even more difficult. Additionally, according to Garrett Wang, who plays Kim, producer Brannon Braga bluntly answered why his character wasn’t promoted: “Someone has to be a second lieutenant.”
All of this indicates that Garrett Wang’s relationship with Star Trek was very tumultuous, resulting in his return to the series. lower deck is a surprise.
Mr. Wang has been quite vocal about his conflicts over the years. Star Trek: Voyager Allegations of retaliation against the producer and him. For example, he claims that his off-the-record comments were published in TV Guide, which cost him the chance to direct an episode.
He further claims that after he and Robert Duncan McNeil gained more weight, they were given girdles and that Braga was brutal in answering one of Wang’s questions. The actor wanted to see if the lines in the script actually poked fun at his weight gain. Braga is said to have replied: “Garrett, if you and the other actors continue to eat the same way you’ve been eating for the past two years, you’re going to have to change the name of your show to:” Star Trek: Voyager—Space Pigs”

This episode not only showcases his talents as a voice actor, but also gives Ensign Kim (at least one version of him) the promotion that fans have been waiting for for decades.
Additionally, we are pleased to: lower deck takes all of its famous style and humor and swings by, thumbing its nose at previous Trek dramas to deliver as many laughs as can fit on a California-class ship.
