Lieutenant Mariner Wants Harry Kim’s Star Trek: Voyager Curse

Summary

• Lieutenant Beckett Mariner in Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 wants to have Harry Kim's curse of being an eternal Ensign.
• Mariner, along with other main characters, got promoted to Lieutenant in Lower Decks season 4, but actively tried to reverse the promotion.
• While Mariner rejected promotion due to fear of sending friends to their deaths, it is unclear if Harry Kim will ever break his eternal Ensign curse in the Star Trek franchise.

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 revealed that Lieutenant Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome) wants to have Harry Kim's (Garrett Wang) Star Trek: Voyager curse. Although there were many opportunities to give Harry a promotion during Voyager's run, he remained a lowly Ensign during the USS Voyager's entire time in the Delta Quadrant. Harry also has yet to appear in any other franchise projects since Voyager ended, meaning his status as an "eternal Ensign" has never been corrected.
To add insult to injury, there are multiple Star Trek characters who were promoted faster than Harry Kim, including all four main characters on Lower Decks. During the season premiere of LD season 4, Mariner, Bradward Boimler (Jack Quaid), D'Vana Tendi (Noël Wells), and T'Lyn (Gabrielle Ruiz) were all promoted to Lieutenant, ironically after a mission that involved transporting the decommissioned USS Voyager back to Earth. While the other newly minted Lieutenants were thrilled with their new rank, a big part of Mariner's story in Lower Decks season 4 was her attempts to get her promotion reversed.
