Hello World!
*sniff*
By this time tomorrow, I will have seen 'Homestead,' the episode in which Neelix bids a fond farewell to the Voyager crew. The promo was emotional enough - I don't have any idea how I'll last through the entire episode. I've already ordered 10 truckloads of tissues for 'Endgame.'
I for one have always enjoyed Neelix's contribution to the crew, even in the slightly ridiculous moments like the infamous hair-pasta scene in 'Parturition.' In many ways, I love the end of a series; it gives me the chance to look back and remember the characters and situations fondly - even when they're downright ridiculous.
For Neelix, there'll be his first bath on Voyager (who could forget that classic Neelix/Tuvok moment?), when he turned Janeway's private dining room into a kitchen in 'The Cloud' and that scene in 'Deathwish' when he thought Janeway was after a replacement for him - "Rarebit? Rarebit? What is a rarebit anyway? Is this some new chef she's interviewing?"
Pure Neelix. Classic Voyager. I'll miss them.
