    Neelix and Kesssssss should have been shot out of a torpedo tube while still conscious before the end of Season 1.

    Star Treck Disco was, is, and will always be a hot mess of spare parts boldly going nowhere.

      Neelix and Kes should have been a father figure/orphaned little sister relationship. Neelix lost his sister in the metreon cascade. Kes lost her father not long before running away to the surface. Both should have played into those roles instead of the weird creepy relationship they went with. They wouldn’t have needed to be shot out of a torpedo tube without Neelix’s incessant jealously over every little thing.

      Kes was a gross character whose entire appeal was fetishizing youth. Neelix and Kes was an even grosser relationship.

        Kes having feelings for The Doctor put an end to any hope I had for her character.

        When they brought Kes back later as the…dementia demon? Idk what to call that but it drove extra nails into the coffin. Using that episode to send Voyager that much closer to the Alpha Quadrant was the icing on the coffin.
