Neelix out-performs Wesley Crusher for the "Most hated character on Star Trek" award. He is so annoying, so obnoxious and so stupid, he makes Jar-Jar Binks look like Sean Connery in comparison.
History
The USS Voyager found this asshole in a debris field which he claimed was his own shortly after Voyager arrived in the Delta Quadrant, after which his acts of stupidity rapidly escalated.
- One of his first acts was to lie to them so that they would help him rescue Kes[1].
- He turned the ship's dining room into a galley without permission and appointed himself "chief morale officer".
- He consistently disobeyed direct orders from Voyager's officers, which once resulted in his lungs being stolen by Vidiians[2], but he still didn't learn from his stupidity.
- He habitually burst onto the bridge or into command staff meetings without authorization and for no purpose.
- By pretending to have "survival skills" that didn't really exist, he got a crewmember killed. In fact the thing that got the crewmember killed was by having him do something, collect bones, that would have no actual benefit. [3] When collecting food claims that an apple-like fruit is poisonous without providing any real evidence, something a tricorder should be able to at least confirm. Has no problem with some mushrooms however, something much more likely to actually be potentially poisonous if not identified correctly.[1] The only reason Seska's mushroom soup didn't kill Chakotay is probably dumb luck. [4]
- Has no concept of the Buddy System. He constantly wanders off on his own[5] and leaves others by themselves.[6] This usually results in his needing rescue.[7]
- Complains about safety equipment "takes the fun" out of rock climbing only to moments later fall and nearly get both himself and Torres killed. [8]
- In point of fact if he claims any skill you can rest assured that as the episode plays out he with prove the exact opposite to be the case.
