Was Neelix bordering being a stalker?

Wonder if Voyager has High School AU fanfic...

Chicks dig the car.

There have been many adventures set during the academy in the sanctioned novels, but in the mirror universe Earth is just endless tenements of kennels.

No Starfleet, no Starfleet Academy.

Really it was quite the high school drama. FINALLY a girlfriend and then she is making eyes at the guy with the fast car.

Kes was just friendly, there was really no indication she had ANY interest in Tom beyond that random future episode where they got married. She told Neelix she wanted to have his baby. That's a big deal for Ocampa being they can only have kids once. And that wasn't good enough, it didn't stop his obsessive behavior.

Sure the space dumpster driver is probably the most exciting man Kes had ever met. Of course all she had were other Ocampa who eat paste from dispensers and watch videos of the sunrise all day, and the Kazon who can't even figure out how to get water.

Ocampa are also said to mate for life. So it's really telling when Kes didn't backtrack on her possessed self dumping Neelix. She might have needed a nudge, but she realized after the fact was done it was the right decision.

Kes' dad died when her mother was 4 and Kes was one.

So unless there was some horrible accident, or their love was forbidden, males become fertile at 7 or 8, shag, raise the baby then die, meanwhile the mother, all the widows, the women, have 4 to 5 years of their life left to do what exactly?

It's pretty damn easy to mate for life when one of you only has a year left to live.

Kes stayed with Neelix for three times longer than most any Ocampan woman had stayed with her "husband" before ever.

No wonder she was sick of him. Triple the average time that a first marriage that ends in divorce lasts and that's her experience with Neelix during the show.

What the HELL does that have to do with anything?

You know how when you kiss a man and you get stubble rash on your face from spending to long inspecting his tonsils?

Now imagine you're naked and wrestling around with some guy covered in brush from toe to forehead?

You'd end up with stubble rash from your own toes to forehead.

A week with a guy like that and you'd be bleeding everywhere.

One would assume that's being used to voice that he's conventionally not attractive, given the context of the rest of that statement.

Really Neelix should have treated Kes like a goddess instead of a quasi-possession he gets insanely jealous over. That he has a girlfriend is a proof that the galaxy is a kind place.

Personal experience?

Yes.

I never lose at truth or dare.

If I recall this once, I stayed in the game long enough to suggest that a fabulous redhead do some cartwheels.

I gave as good as I got.

But that's only one of half a dozen occasions when I visited boytown.

The whole body should not have stubble so really, nude Neelix shouldn't cause rashes. Hives maybe.
