janeway in the very first episode: i don’t like being addressed as ma’am

tom paris for the entire rest of the show, at the top of his lungs:

[mylittleredgirl]

there’s a whole handful of times late in the series where she gives him an order and he’s off camera he says “yes, sir” and it’s never acknowledged.

like she’s doing the thing of “if i let him get a rise out of me He Wins” and so ignores the ma’am and then he has to up his game like PLEASE NOTICE MEEEE and she just. does not.
