Leveling up in Starfleet is easy for some, and very difficult for others. While Kirk (Chris Pine) went from cadet to captain in roughly one day in the Kelvin Universe, and Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) formally entered Starfleet as a full commander in Picard Season 3, some characters never seemed to get promoted despite years and years of competent and even downright amazing service.
One character who was mysteriously never raised through the ranks throughout his seven years on Star Trek: Voyager was the long-suffering Ensign Harry Kim, played by Garrett Wang from 1995 to 2001. But now Kim is making a Star Trek comeback, and it seems the Final Frontier finally has bigger things in store for him.
