he is the worst regular in all of the treks I have seen (TOS/TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT)
his whole thing is representing White american baby boomer dudes
boring as shit
doesn't belong in space
Torres can do so much better.
I don't believe this shit about being such a hot shot pilot.
I think he was sent by the CIA.
Hold on, Tom never showed any romantic interest in Kes
No, he totally did. In alternate timeline where Torres dies, he marries Kes.
I never took it that way at least. Tom was developing a friendship with Kes which made Neelix jump to conclusions cause he's Neelix. Although someone did mention an alternate timeline episode where he marries Kes, I don't remember that episode cause voyager is forgettable af, but from my recollection he didn't seem to have any romantic or sexual intent and Star Trek tends to make that super obvious.
It was true.
There's an ep where he confides in harry Kim "I'm in love with kes". I think harry Kim is playing his clarinet at the time.
