"It is a bit of an apology," Garrett Wang tells Inverse. "It's a long time coming!" This reaction underscores the long-standing frustration fans felt over Harry Kim's stagnant rank throughout Voyager's run.
"I think Harry was the everyman on Voyager," Wang says. "There's a lot of people that could relate to Harry. I remember I got a backward compliment from the head of Paramount Television at the time - he walks up to me and is like, 'You know what, I just don't get it, but you are my son's favorite character.'" This quote captures Harry Kim's appeal and representation in the Star Trek universe.
"He is the lower decker of the officers," Wang says. "The lowest of the officers is an ensign. So yes, he is the lowest of the officers." This illustrates the hierarchical structure within Starfleet, emphasizing Kim's struggle during the show.
"As Lower Decks redefines the Trek multiverse, Inverse caught up with Garrett Wang to look back on Voyager and look forward to the future of Star Trek." This highlights the ongoing legacy of Star Trek, demonstrating the connections between different series.
