He also never really got any character development (unless you count alternate harry that returns to Voyager on Ice). Paris was not a masterclass on writing either, but I feel like his development was nicely written from the disillusioned dropout to accepting that he wants to be part of starfleet and voyager. To a degree where the episodes where he was acting all grumpy and disobedient was really believable, even though it weas to plant him undercover somewhere (forgot where)
