When Will Star Trek Voyager’s Harry Kim Finally Become Captain?

Ensign Harry Kim (Garrett Wang) missed out on promotion throughout Star Trek: Voyager, and will have to wait even longer to become Captain after his cameo was cut from Star Trek: Picard season 3. Showrunner Terry Matalas revealed his grand vision for the Picard season 3 finale, which would have resurrected Commander Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes), brought back Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), and promoted Ensign Harry Kim to Captain. Sadly, budgetary constraints led to these cameos being cut from the final script draft, raising the question of when, if ever, viewers will see Harry Kim become a Starfleet Captain.
The USS Voyager was Ensign Kim's first posting, and the young officer remained in that rank during the seven-year voyage through the Delta Quadrant. This was despite the demotion and promotion of his best friend Lt. Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) and the promotion of Tuvok (Tim Russ) to Lieutenant Commander. The reasons for a lack of promotion for Kim appear to be rooted in behind-the-scenes conflict between actor Garrett Wang and executive producer Rick Berman, but Star Trek is now in a position to address this sleight against both the character and the actor.
