It's boring but it passes the time and you can find enjoyment out of it. Like macrame or planting a bonsai tree.

I feel that way sometimes, but I often like that. I'm a fan of boring yet quality movies like Barry Lyndon. Most times, Star Trek is fun to watch, and sometimes it scratches my Barry Lyndon itch. TOS has that effect on me most.

I know that "Haha the Traveler molested Wesley lol Star Trek and pedos mods knew" is like a staple Trek joke, but Wesley was in his early to mid 20s when he hosed off with the weird space alien. If he was a porn star he'd be halfway to milf status already.

It's less Wesley and more the Traveler. Like, yeah, Wesley looking boyish doesn't help, but the Traveler can interact with an old shriveled grandma and it would still come off like a creepy pedo perving on little kids.

No, that's actually a pretty sane argument believe it or not. He was in a relationship with Kes, a member of a race who only live Nine years and she wasn't even One when they first started dating. There is also a very skeevy episode in season 2 or 3 where she gets pushed into their species' once-in-a-lifetime mating state because of ambient space-rays when she's only two or three and it usually happens to Ocampa who are four or five years old. And insists Neelix gently caress her during it, a deed he's not entirely resistant to.

The whole thing should've had the writer of it quietly led away for small chat and a severance slip. Or possibly had them placed on a government watch list.

I mean maybe that was the demographic Neelix was designed for :ohdear: :tinfoil:

I imagine it being like when Charlie first pitched "The Nightman." Everyone else sees it for what it is but the guy is oblivious.

A species that lives dog-years sounds interesting and seeing them live their whole life cycle over the course of the series could lead to some actual good sci-fi stories. Over 80 years, that would be about 20 generations. What are the implications and how will they deal with them? But lol no it's an excuse to have a 3-year-old be loving an old troll and by the way she needs it so no guilt! :aatrek:

Writer's Room: When we meet Kes she could be starry-eyed and adventurous. Next season she's matured and becomes a full fledged member of the crew. Season 3 they start using makeup to make her look older and she goes through a midlife crisis. Season 4 she becomes "wise" and content with herself. Season 5 she dies but a kid she had in an earlier season takes her place but the new Ocampan has to struggle with what they actually want in life.

Rick Berman: People will be confused. Why is this character changing and developing? The only thing people should need to think about when they see her on the show is who she's in love with. Maybe she could be a telepath like Troi was. Troi was a woman. People will make the connection.

Reminder that this dude? excels at violent Klingon sex.





Backstory: Late season Voyager runs into a lost Klingon ship, also trying to get back. One of the lady Klingons imprints on harry, and harry is too bitch made so he gets Nelix to help.
Nelix tears harry a new one verbally, and takes the Klingon lady to Tuvoxs room and procedes to loving TRASH it having nasty, nasty, Klingon whoopee.


As poo poo as a character Nelix is, that one moment redeems him for me.

I feel like the doc should have warned harry that he lacked the physicality to survive much less satisfy a Klingon in coitus.

Except that it would be so insane for a producer to approve this that I suspect Berman himself came up with it.
