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.
Tom Paris engaging in boomer activities on the holodeck was when the character was at his worse
Tom Paris doing crimes and going rogue (you know the whole point of his character in the pilot episode) was when the character came to life, too bad they only gave Tom's criminality two episodes over 7 seasons before dropping that aspect of his personality completely
but then the cia got him
