i actually think if there's any character in star trek who functions most as "the star trek fan insert" it's tom paris. he gets to be good at certain star trekky things, like piloting ships and Hot Klingon Wife, but he's also subtly teased by the show for his enthusiasm for all things mid-20th-century; he's A Fan in a fairly universal sense of the term. just because star trek didn't exist in HIS 20th century doesn't mean he wouldn't have been extremely into it if it was, and the show knows this. his transgressions are never so deep that he risks losing credibility as a Really Nice Guy, Actually, and his personality is pleasant and nonspecifically specific enough to reflect a fair portion of the viewers. he's the self-insert, audience surrogate character, but i think the very best thing about tom paris is that if he knew that, he'd be thrilled
