Apprently, after voyager returned, the slang term “Kimming” became common for getting your first pip.
If you were passed over for promotion, it was called “getting Harry’ed.”
Fun fact : Harry Kim is the most “Harry Kimmed” officer in starfleet history.
“I’m Kimming, Harry!”
A phrase not heard by Harry Kim.
“You’re a Kimmard, Harry!” - Space Hagrid
“what about second kimfast?” - space pippin
having a rank named for you is literally more recognition than Harry actually got.
Star Trek:
Lower DecksHarry Kim!!Edit: Now with visual.
Grand Admiral Kim of the Terran Empire? Has a certain ring to it. He crosses over from the mirror universe having caught wind of his duplicate’s failure.
Now with visual. work in progress
Woah. Given how much I’m standing to attention now, I can only imagine how @Stamets@startrek.website would feel seeing this.
Horny. I feel horny.
/S I’m sarcasming as hard as possible.
Are you? ARE YOU?!
And more importantly…
Am I?
Nah, this is HARD sarcasm:
/S
With a bit of angle, for their pleasure.
Brag much?
I feel like Costanza with the late comeback.
Hey, you did the visual thing first, mine was a late edit!
At least Harry gets a pip! The former Maquis are forever stuck with their provisional ranks. These always bugged me…
Janeway had the authority to promote Starfleet officers under her command, but not the authority to recruit new officers. Hence the “provisional” part. But the situation required it so all the Maquis she integrated wore those alternate pips until Starfleet could ratify and approve them (most, if not all of which, they did.)
I’ve seen Voyager 3 times and never noticed they had alt pips. Wow. 🤦🏻♂️
If you’re looking to hire a private investigator, you should…call someone else. I’m not that observant apparently.
If it makes you feel better, Captain Chakotay had normal pips by the time the Protostar was commissioned. Guess Janeway just didn’t want to grant ranks away from Starfleet proper.
I just always imagined an awkward conversation between Janeway and some new species she had just beamed on board: “so uh, Captain, why do some of your crew have different rank pins?”
“Oh, you mean the terrorists? Don’t worry about it, they’re fine.”
Anyway don’t worry about it because commander Sisco has normal pips, and he’s worse than any of them.
Ohhhh I was wondering what those strip badges were. Provisional ranks.
Could have been worse, he wasn’t wearing a red shirt
It would’ve been a death sentence.
It would have been a mercy.
He already died once. Isn’t that enough for you people?
Gold is the new red.
I’m pretty sure either one of the recent episodes of Lower Decks, or the episode of TNG with that guy that doesn’t look like Tom Paris, had a minor character that was some kind of junior captain, with three full, and one hollow pip
If somebody is acting captain or interim captain then do they still have 3 or do the instantly upgrade to 4?
Depends on how much free time they’ve had, I think? Sometimes Riker holds 4 pips, sometimes he doesn’t. Data never did, despite taking the role of acting captain multiple times.
