I used to be like this. But after understanding his trauma I grew to tolerate him.

Yeah, Neelix was a deeper character than most people give him credit for.

I am currently rewatching voyager and realizing that my previous hate for Neelix was unfounded. He's not the best, for sure. But he adds a lot to the crew.

I don't think a single person on the original crew could take themselves a crumb less seriously and be the morale officer.

Neelix didn't care that people laughed at him, he was willing to take it on the chin to do stupid shit and try and cheer people up.

@sem Neelix is my nine-year-old's favorite character.
