10 Best Tom Paris Star Trek: Voyager Episodes

Summary

• Lt. Tom Paris is a charismatic and resilient character who bridges the divide between Starfleet and Maquis on the USS Voyager.
• Despite a checkered past and mistakes, Paris proves his strength of heart through his relationships with friends, romantic partner, and Captain Janeway.

With his cool-guy charm and everyman energy, Star Trek: Voyager's Lieutenant Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) bridges the gap between the Starfleet and Maquis halves of the USS Voyager's crew. Early clashes with Neelix (Ethan Phillips) and Lt. Tuvok (Tim Russ) paint Paris as a flirtatious, callous rebel, but Paris' strength of heart is revealed in his relationships with best friend Ensign Harry Kim (Garret Wang), romantic partner Lt. B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson), and Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), who personally selects Paris for Voyager's Badlands mission despite his checkered past.
The son of Starfleet Admiral Owen Paris (Richard Herd), Tom Paris was dishonorably discharged from Starfleet following a pilot error that resulted in the deaths of three other officers and his subsequent attempted coverup. It's a startlingly similar backstory to Cadet Nick Locarno, also played by McNeill, but where Locarno seeks vindication for an ego trapped in his own lies in Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4, Paris is after validation, and repentant from the jump. Tom comes out of his Delta Quadrant journey absolved of both his initial crime and self-inflicted guilt, with his father's forgiveness, a wife and daughter, and a cleansed reputation that helps reinstate his Starfleet commission after Voyager's return to Earth.
