Tom Paris: Personnel File 

TP: "From now on I promise no more affairs with strange ships" BLT: "What about the Delta Flyer?" TP: "We're just friends."

the story of Tom Paris the PERFECT example of "NEVER in my wildest imagination, did my life turn out like i expected or planned"

Nobody talk about his identical twin or you’ll have to pay royalties.

I imagine Tom being on Voyager was a good personal growth experience for him.

"Gotta go fast!" (Warp 10) "Whoa! Too fast!"

Tom Paris, current whereabouts: Classified, but rumored to be writing and directing under the alias Robert Duncan McNeil. 😎😁😏😉

"The only thing I remember is someone standing over me saying 'This is my friend and no one touches him but me!'". -Harry Kim (Paraphrased)

Pity they didn't make him the same character from Weesly's Academy the flight squadron would had been perfect and would explain why he went to jail

Tom was originally supposed be a continuation of the character Locarno from TNG

For the next Personnel File, I would recommend Reginald Barcley.

The real world reason he became "Tom Paris" instead of being the continuation of Lacarno is that the producers (I think it was Brandon Braga specifically) felt that Lacarno's attitude and actions left the character irredeemable.

Tom returned in the Lower Decks episode "We'll Always Have Tom Paris" where he remained in Starfleet and was promoted to full lieutenant. During a handshake tour in 2381, he visited the USS Cerritos where he told Voyager stories for morale and during the visit, he assaulted Ensign Bradward Boimler, who wished to get Paris' signature on his Voyager plate, when he thought Boimler was a Kazon. He later apologized by getting drinks with Boimler, who still hoped to get his signature.

Definitely one of the better VOY characters(easily 3rd best after Doc and 7). Even if he practically is just renamed Locarno. :)

I was always either very annoyed or amused by Tom, he had the attitude of an ungrateful spoiled rich kid

Me: Waiting for the "Threshold" jokes Not disappointed.

He was my favorite character in Voyager.

First I saw this actor was in He Man. Lol. Then that STNG episode where the one cadet dies.

Do Gowron, leader of the Klingon high council!

How "Thershold" should have ended Tom Pairs wakes up from a nightmare, the end.

Can we get a video on Chakotay, please?

What is this "Threshold" that you speak of, I have never heard of it. I have also not heard of Ghostbusters 2016, or any Jurassic Park movie after The Lost World, or any Alien movie after Aliens.

I'm watching that one episode of tng where that one friend of whesley looks like Tom Parris

Any possiblity of doing some videos on the Orville? Have been binge watching over the past week and think there's a lot of potential for that series

-Thank you for this well done insight to Lieutenant Paris's life in Star Trek, Like alway I look forward to one on Commander Chakotay and all First Officers THANKS

Something I always liked about Tom was he was really the frist person on Voyager to reach out to Seven of his own variation and with seemingly no alteriver motive and acpect her. Some might say that BS given Janeways actions in the gift. But Janeway always wanted to change seven to make her human her acceptance of sevens own natuer and choices always seemed at lest to me early on after a bit of auement or reasoning. Not that this is bad persay it was nessary. But id dare say Tom was Sevens frist friend. And while there reationship did have a bumb here and there it remained strong through out Voyager run. And when Tom was bing influenced by the Alice ship Seven was one of the people to be really alarmed by his actions and when he got body jacked by that alien. People cought on that something was wrong with him the moment he tryed hitting on Seven and was cruel to her.

I never got the “Federation Naval Patrol” thing. Why does this exist? Is there a lot of smuggling or something on Earth’s seas in the 24th century? In a future where there are sensors than can scan whole planets from orbit, plus other stuff like transporters, why do the oceans on any Federation planet need patrolling, presumably with sea based vessels? 10:58 that’s not Tom Paris ;-)

Ah yes, Tom Paris, and totally not Nicholas Locarno from TNG's "The First Duty". Yeah, totally not him. I bet Tom thought he was totally a handsome guy though and would have totally been a great Starfleet officer if he hadn't ALSO been thrown in prison for his crimes as a cadet. Totally.

One of my personal favorite characters...and the only one to bonk Captain Janeway...he had to err, ummm....struggle snuggle but, he apparently succeeded, since they had a litter of...umm...things Oedipal allusions not withstanding.

I imagine how awkward Tom Paris' academy years were with Nic Locarno around.

You left out the most important scene in the history of Tommyboi. The doctor slap man, the slap that will echo threw time and space, and make itself heard any time a pretty boy says something a bit dumb.

Um... That is NOT a Oldsmobile, That is a 1969 Chevy Camaro! HUGE DIFFERENCE. Shame!

You forgot about that time he tracked a mouse through jeffries tube 32.

Um wow... The 2381 Borg Invasion through Azure Nebula is a crazy story line. Not sure what to think of it...

He always seemed like an assistant manager at Target or Walmart to me. Don’t know if it was how the character was written but I think the role was miscast. But then I think a lot of the casting choices were off for me, to the point of being an annoying distraction.

What about B'Elanna Torres chakotay and Egypt in the kids

You forgot the time he helped He-Man defeat Skeletor in 1987

I never understood the whole admirals don't command ships thing. That's never how it's worked IRL.

It's a shame they couldn't work in his Red Squad character because they didn't want to pay the writer of that episode.

I always wondered if Tom Paris knew Nick Locarno because like Tom Locarno had a habit of getting into trouble like what happened in the Star Trek TNG episode 'The First Duty' where he convinced Cadet Wesley Crusher and 2 others to cover up an accident that he was responsible for that caused the death of another cadet that was a friend of Wesley's which Captain Jean-Luc Picard had discovered when he learned from Geordie La Forge and Lt. Commander Data that they were trying to perform a dangerous maneuver that led to the death of said cadet and Locarno's expulsion from the Academy and Wes and the other 2 being held back from graduating because they partook in the cover-up.

Imagine an alternate timeline where instead of Geordi as a helmsman at the beginning of TNG it was Tom

Oh yea... That Delta Quadrant mission is coming up, isn't it... Gawd is it a PitA...

Tom and B' ellona were one of the hottest loves in star trek

I really like Tom Paris. He's a guys guy.

I'm at the beginning of the video and listening to the family history. Except for a great-aunt mentioned it sounds like the women in his family didn't do crap when it comes to Starfleet. They just stayed home got knocked up and had babies.

In-Universe-Theorie: Mybe Tom and Nick are Twins and Tom is the younger brother from Nick and Tom want become a better version and nick Changed his name into Locarno that he dont want have anything todo with his starfleet - family anymore

he was a bit like a james dean type in the beginning it sucks his dad mistreated him he really evolved in the show loved his holodeck holo adventures of captain proton very flashgordon esq and howhim and torres got together.

I have it as head canon that Paris and Locarno were the same person. He changed his name to distance himself from his father.

Listening the rock n' roll music makes think of Guy Fieri pulling up for Diners, Drive-Ins, N' Dive.

Honestly I prefer the version where the accidents happened when he was Ensign, it differentiates him from Nick Locarno

2:04 It's pronounced Mar-say (the L's are silent) 😅 Great video though, I love how in depth you go to the characters across canon and non canon stuff. Really entertaining and informative.

So basically Captain Janeway got really lucky the Mocke had some competent space skills.

Half the comments are about Locarno? Lol come on. Really?

Mar - see - elles? Were you trying to say Marsielle? You were, weren't you. You know RDM et al repeatedly say that name correctly on the show, right? No? Also, there's no 'r' in Maquis, you're thinking of marquee, a large tent, not the group named after WW2 French resistance. Ma'ki. Have you spent decades thinking the Bajoran resistance were named after a large tent suitable for social events such as weddings? You completely missed an opportunity to demonstrate your total lack of understand of basic mathematics; you mention Threshold but don't go over your notion that infinite is a bit more than lots. Some giggles, but hardly up to your usual standard.

Are you really a British person who doesn't know how to pronounce "Marseille".

Tom "Locarno" Paris... The most interesting Character besides the Doctor and Seven of Nine in the overall weak Star Trek Voyager show Go Loca... uh i mean Tom! Warp 10 FULL SPEED!! 😂👍

"Totally not Locarno." I see you. :)

Um tipo de Flash Gordon Trekker.

I'M DYING! : "Totally NOT "Locarno"

did you have somenthing of Lt. Kim? poor boy, 7 years of service on the USS Voyager ,he give his life for a ship and his capitan.... and never a been promotion ... did Captain Janeway not like Asians?

I guess him appaearing in LD as a Leutenant in 2381 is beta canon breaking

Tom found his way to Paris.

Weird. I thought starfleet academy was a 4 year education, not 2.

How about a Personnel File on William Riker?

You know what just realized. Tom was wearing a SF uniform when he joined on the origanal Voyger mission but was not a member of SF at the time. why was he allowed to be in uniform after he was discharged and branded a traitor?

I was about to say you had Tom's academy accident wrong but I rewatched that tng ep. and realized it was same actor as Tom Paris in Voyager but different char.

Voyager is a good series. It's a pity it came out at the onset trekkie burnout.

The glorious Rocking and Rolling Captain Proton !

Aren’t you forgetting about the alt future admiral Jane way came from where he’s a holonovelist? Or is it just not enough information to speculate on his life in that alternate timeline?

Is it just me or does this guy sound kinda like piers Morgan. Thoughts?

Could you do Bones?

My only issue with his story is his rising to Admiral. Seems highly unlikely considering his painted past. Maybe Captain, he would have to work much harder than others to achieve the rank though.

Awesome!! Thank you for that. So much detail and more character info!!

Tom Paris was originally meant to be that Red Squad character he played on TNG before

They should do a video about Project Full Circle.

"Totally Not Lacarno". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lieutenant Paris, we are not building a hot rod..

1:00 don’t forget Commadore Paris

Love they said he could have gone to the navy over going to space haha

Love these videos.

Tuvok lead a mission as an admiral.

Was Patricia the commodore in Beyond?

He should be a captain of a ship bye now.

Nice use of rockabilly music in the outro

can you cover the ships of full circle?

That's not an Oldsmobile. Lol

I would love to see bios on kang koloth and kor

Thomas Mary Sue Paris

Do Riker next or The Doctor

Good abrupt goodbye at the end there

You mean we could have had Tom Paris on the bridge instead of Wesley? Thanks Admiral!

It always baffled me why they renamed the character from the STNG episode with Crusher.

"I am Borg"

comment😄🖖

i need the song names

Oh mate good work 👍🏽

Bought time 🤘🤪🤘

Best couple

Totally Not Locarno is a great character.

Wasn't he was originally supposed to be the same test pilot character introduced in the TNG series?

👍
