I still don't understand why they thought Neelix would be the breakout character when every breakout character has been something like a Vulcan or an android who looks in on humanity from the outside and acts to comment on the human condition from the point of view of someone with a completely different way of being.
Oh and look at that! The breakout character in Voyager ended up being a former Borg struggling to deal with humanity and individuality! (People go "hot girl in catsuit" but there were plenty of hot girls in Voyager)
I guess it just goes to show that by this era the people running trek didn't really understand it.
I think the goal was to make neelix seem related able. "He's the delta quadrants Renaissance man" I think his importance is hindered also by in some of the early episodes he's straight up not there. I'm not going to even begin talking about seven of nine or kess, because frankly its gross. But I guess it we a product of it's time, because in enterprise they do the exact same thing with T'pol
More a product of Berman than of the '90s.
Let's be honest, Star Trek has always been more than a little pervy.
