Neelix is what happens when producers want to force another Quark.
I like Nelix plotlines.
He's comic relief to counter the rest of the crew, but The Doc does that a thousand times better.
Now imagine if Robert Picardo had gotten the Neelix role like he wanted and Ethan Phillips was cast as the Doctor.
Neelix is a subdued, cerebral character compared to what I've seen from the Starfleet Academy show's trailer.
Besides, it's called a mess hall for a reason.
You know what? The real world is filled with people like that. On any given day, you might be one. Embrace mediocrity.
I think he could act, but that's the only part I disagree with.
He was better on Benson.
neelix is super cool, ethan phillips went to the same spiritual center (so cal off-brand buddhism) as i did growing up
oh, come on, if you lower your humour threshold enough, it was a fun addition to the show!
