Also note the alien woman, a Kobali, appears to be of the same species as the Borg Queen.

Altair: According to the description, she's is supposed to have been turned into a Kobali. Since Neelix is Talaxian, it isn't the same...
And it doesn't specifically say that he's been promoted. It could just be a mistake.

Yes, it could be a typo. It is also possible that Kim might receive a promotion before that episode as well.

Seeing as how the Borg children feature prominently in a story arc that carries the season right up to the finale, I'd imagine so. Not that you'll actually see them in any episode that isn't about them, of course. Them guest actors are expensive.

From what I heard it is a lose 3-part arc containing the episodes: Collective, Ashes to Ashes and the season finale.
phew! for a moment there I thought the part of Harry Kim was being played by Sammo Hung!

Why didn't Harry get a promotion a long time ago? He didn't mess something up and he was always one of the best officers on the bridge.

I'd say he messed up in "The Disease". Posted by Trip Tucker (Member # 297) on :
I agree that Harry is long overdue for a promotion. He's proved himself dozens of times, but he's still just an ensign! This sucks. Janeway should get off her butt, stop chugging back the coffee and give her crew some appraisal! C'mon people.....Nog went from Ensign to Lieutenant in the blink of an eye. Not even three seasons! Harry should get more respect. He's been so damn funny in the last two seasons, too. My favourite scenes are with him and Tom hamming it up, ex: Turkey Platter.

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 138) on :
The only problem with promotions on Voyager is that they have no one else to go. If Chakotay were a full Commander for instance he couldn't get promoted. Of course he's a Lt.Cmdr so he could at least get promoted once.

The last promotion I remember seeing on Voyager was Tuvok. Before that, Paris. Why isn't anyone else being promoted anyway? I've seen about more death scenes and burials than promotions onboard that ship.

Posted by Timo (Member # 245) on :
Well, Ensign Rollins from "Caretaker" did reappear as Lieutenant Rollins later on... But that's about the only promotion I've heard of so far.
Timo Saloniemi
Posted by Montgomery (Member # 23) on :
I don't think the Maquis people really care that much about their exact rank, only the pecking order aboard.
We don't know Chakotay's rank before he quit the service. I assume he was a Commander, but is only "pipped" as a LtComm because that was the rank of his predecessor on Voyager, and it might have been seen as a tad out of line to promote him higher. Who cares anyway?
------------------ "No way man! I've served my time in hell, and I ain't going back... Not without a fight!"
Posted by Timo (Member # 245) on :
Well, the Maquis would probably have a beef with Janeway if she arbitrarily demoted Chakotay from Commander to Lt.Cmdr even if there was no need to. Janeway in turn wouldn't be all that interested in voluntarily promoting Chakotay one extra step from his former Starfleet rank unless absolutely necessary. So it seems rather likely that Chakotay really was a Lt.Cmdr in Starfleet, not a full Commander (he might have been a simple Lieutenant or lower, but I sort of doubt that).
And Chuckles strikes me as a guy who wouldn't promote himself to Grand Admiral just because he quit Starfleet and joined a bunch of freedom fighters. He'd probably have insisted on being called by his former Starfleet rank even within the Maquis organization.

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
Wasn't there a mention of a Lt. Com. that resigned to join the Maquis in "Journey's End" TNG? I think that was intended to be Chakotay. Not canon that it was him, of course, but it fits nicely, and gives us a probible rank.
------------------ You are wise, witty, and wonderful, but you spend far too much time reading this sort of trash.
Posted by Timo (Member # 245) on :
In practice, Chakotay might have been intended to be that Lt.Cmdr, but not vice versa. The character of Chakotay probably wasn't really developed yet when "Preemptive Strike" was written, so saying that the episode was covertly introducting him is a bit much - would any episodes of Voyager have been written at that point?
Timo Saloniemi
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
Well, Preemptive Strike was the next-to-last ep of TNG, meaning it aired seven or eight months before Voy premiered. Surely they'd have had at least a rough character outline by then.
