Why Nelix was such a valuable part of the crew...

[House of Du'Rant]

A lot of people bash on Nelix but his importance to the crew was very valuable. Let’s share our thoughts and reasons why his contabutions to the crew, ship and series were so important. I will start with his two obvious duties:

Ships guide
Morale officer

I think he is he the most important one on the ship. He is so cool. Vote for him.

Nelix was an important person because he knew a little about everything ( Which wasn't much ) BUT when it matter he knew what was needed and what to do about it, not to mention he was a great babysitter, and the children loved him because he was trustable

Kids and dogs are great judges of character.

[Tahni Osler]

I always liked him c: I could see how some could find him a bit annoying but I think he's quite lovable.

[Marissa Gil]

i always loved neelix, in fact when he left i cried. and one of my favorite/more memorable scenes was when Tuvok danced for him. i felt that he reached out to people and if you can make a vulcan dance then you are the coolest guy in the universe.

When the producers of the Voyager series first made the show, Nelix was supposed to be the 'focus character'. The Doctor ended up taking his place, due to the fans' letters.
