I always thought that Nick Locarno … I ’ve say to hoi polloi Nick Locarno and Tom Paris , to me , were diametrical opposite . I feel like Tom Paris was kind of a jerk on the exterior , peculiarly in the beginning . But underneath , he was really a honorable cat . He just had a lot of walls up and a lot of defence up , and over time , he developed into the Tom Paris that married B’Elanna and people realise he ’s really a good guy underneath . Nick looked like a good cat on the outside but was really kinda rotten underneath . So they were sort of , in my mind , very opposites . They count a lot alike , though ! It ’s weird !
