Comment on ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Cast Talks About The Big Change For Season 4

I’m relieved to hear that the group will be promoted. 3 years is a fairly long haul as ensigns, even on a second tier ship. The humour and credibility would begin to wear a bit thin if they at that rank throughout the show’s run. (… yes, I know about Ensign Kim and that was inexplicable - he should have been given an acting promotion to lieutenant at minimum.)
It’s interesting that TrekMovie has this article up before the news release has been posted. (I checked the Paramount+ press site and the most recent posting for Lower Decks is for the trailer release July 22nd, and these details aren’t in that one.)
The Paramount press site is…not as reliable as you would think. It’s not uncommon for sites like Trekmovie to run episode previews that obviously came from press releases, while the actual Paramount site lags behind by a day or two.

I’ve had to pirate this show because even when I paid for a subscription, none of the content ever actually played through their apps on any of my devices.
One season of Lower Decks is 6 months in-universe, so they’ve only been ensigns for a year and a half
I had understood it to be more like a year. There was a significant period of several months, for example, when Boimler served on the Titan between seasons.

Yeah, there was no reason for an Ensign to run Ops on a ship like Voyager. It would have been great writing for after Paris gets demoted, Janeway takes the pip and places it on Kim’s collar.

Instead, they repromote Paris, and when Kim asks why he didn't see a little box on his desk this morning everyone promptly ignores him.

Well, to be fair, their original Harry Kim is dead, making the current one the newest member of the crew until 7 of 9 shows up.
And for all we know, the ship records may still show him as dead, therefore unpromotable...
