I'm an ensign on the USS Borg Collective. No yeah, it's sorta weird, my mom got green-lasered to death at Wolf 359 but I guess it would be kind of bigoted to exclude them from the nomenclature. It's outreach, you know?

And that ensign is already a much better officer than Shaw.

I hated Neelix. He's probably the most annoying ST character ever, even more than Lwaxana. Aliexpress Alf knockoff headass.

Computer, replicate me a pitchfork, I got some stabbin to do in the kitchen

Every time they try to make a Neelix/Kes story it's god loving awful.

But some of the best bits in Voyager are when it's mainly about Neelix and not his involvement with Kes. Jetrel is a standout star trek episode.

I don't think she likes the special sauce, Rick.


Lwaxana is supposed to be a pill and succeeds spectacularly. They intended you to like Neelix.

Neelix is awful especially in the first season with all the jealously stuff but he provides some funny bits for Tuvok this same way and yes, I fricking love Lwaxana.

I've posted this before. This open is great

iirc the jealousy stuff really got bad later, in like s2 s3 time frame.

DS9 Lwaxana was good. TNG Lwaxana was often time kind of a poo poo head to her daughter and picard, even if I did find it funny.

Suddenly I'm wondering what the bottom-of-the-barrel names would be for Illinois-class ships. USS Berwyn? USS Downers Grove?

I bet there's an intense rivalry between the USS Park Forest and the USS Forest Park.

Since in real life a spacecraft was named after the Enterprise then I'm stretching it to TV personalities in ST and going with USS Bob Barker. The captain could use Barker's catchphrases in battle.

Bob Barker already has had a ship named after him in real life, it was one of ships the Sea Shepherds used to harass whaling fleets. It had a big shark mouth painted on it.

They succeeded in a sense that I like Neelix as much as I like any other potentially disease-carrying vermin that lives in a garbage heap, and looks like an interbred mix of only god knows what.
