I know which one I'd rather hang around, and it wouldn't be the annoying loser who played the clarinet.

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast
- What a guy!
- WWOOOFF!!!
  
  Wait, wrong franchise.
  
  Let's try that again..
Ro Laren goes from prison to starfleet then joins a terrorist cell within a year. She still managed to get a promotion in that span. What did Harry do that got him snubbed so hard?
- You got me wondering, did anyone ever get a promotion on Voyager?
  
  Paris did. Then he got demoted and then promoted again.
  
  And I want to say Tuvok got a promotion also
  
  Neelix became a cook, then morale officer, then chief ambassador.
- “It’s a small ship”
- What did Harry do that got him snubbed so hard?
  
  Presumably it's not any single thing, he's just a "SmegHead". (Common insult thrown at Rimmer, in Red Dwarf.)
What a Smeeeee- Heeeeee-.
I just want you to know that I both love and hate you for this post. My response will take hours to complete.
- How many hours roughly? So we can set an alarm...?
  
  Well, since all of the Red Dwarf footage I can find is garbage... I don't know.
  
  Editing to add: I also need to find the episode where Rimmer becomes hard light and can touch things. If anyone knows, please tell me.
  
  Consider this a placeholder:

Smeg!
#justiceForHarry, make him a captain and give him a class in the new Starfleet academy show.
- He's owed so many promotions, he should outrank Janeway. Fleet Admiral Harry Kim.
  
  Unfortunately, he won't be in the SFA show. It takes place in the 29th century. The only Trek Alum who will be in the cast will be Robert Picardo. The explanation there being obvious.
  
  Maybe Harry gets to the right time period through a stasis leak.
  
  That's right, I had forgotten about that less-than-memorable Voyager novel in which Dr. Lewis Zimmerman leaves behind holoengineering for cryonics, nice catch.
On the other hand somewhere out there is an hot shot pilot named ace kim, rescuing alien princesses from the breen
Rimmer didn't kill the entire crew, Lister did.....
- Only in Rimmer's logic :)
  
  I think it was something like "If Lister hadn't been imprisoned in stasis for smuggling a cat on board, he would have been there to help me mend the drive plate, so I wouldn't have made the mistake which caused the failure, which killed all the crew".
  
  Lister smuggled the cat that caused the malfunction on to the ship in the first place unless I'm remembering that wrong, but I haven't seen Red Dwarf in about 2 decades.
- Rimmer was 100% assigned the responsibility of repairing the drive plate that released the neutron blast that killed the entire crew of Red dwarf.
  
  However, in all fairness, everybody on the ship knew that rimmer was incredibly incompetent and assigning him such an important responsibility was a failure of command, so the real person who killed the entire crew was whoever ordered rimmer to do the repair.
  
  Lister was already in stasis at this point so he literally could not be responsible for this.
  
  Fair enough, it's been 20 years. I just thought the need for the repair was caused by the cat, which would have been Lister's fault for sneaking the cat on board in the first place.
So, I thought it was Saru on the right at first. I was just agreeing with everything until it said “killed entire crew” and was like, “season 5 really went off the rails, didn’t it?”
