0“This feels pretty ensign like” – Star Trek: Lower Decks: “In the Cradle of Vexilon”\n\nOne of the truisms of Star Trek is that promotions often arent as meaningful as they should be. It happened several times that someone rose in rank and their duties didnt change in the slightest. Spock progressed from Lieutenant Commander to Commander in the original series. Sulu. Uhura. Scotty and Chekov were all promoted over the course of the film series. but always ended up in the same position they were in as lower ranks; The same applies to the bridge crew of the Discovery after the jump to the 32nd century. Worf and Bashir were promoted from junior lieutenant to lieutenant. and La Forge. Dax. and Tuvok were promoted from lieutenant to first lieutenant. with no change in their duties.
