It's days like today that I'm reassured that I'm not the most obsessed Trekkie in existence. On Reddit someone asked how Harry Kim can have his own quarters when it was clearly stated in "Lower Decks" that ensigns have to share quarters.
PNQ: Opinions?
This particular nit never occurred to me. And now that it has I'm willing to explain it with "ensigns who are senior officers are exceptions to the rule."
Then again, having Harry and Tom be roommates would've introduced some interesting subplots.
For that matter, having a bunch of the quarters being damaged by the Caretaker wave and forcing everyone except Janeway to have roommates also would've introduced interesting subplots for the first few years.
