Oh gods, not Paris! He's too...cocky.
Lynx: Well, my "Beauty and the beast" isn't as bad as it looks, more my way to point out that those in charge were going for a relationship between contrasts.
The age thing is unimportant if we consider Kes as something between 18-22 and Neelix in his thirties. It's the silly lifespan which the writers came up with which complicates things.
Personally I thought the relationship was OK in the beginning. But in the long run I could see that it wouldn't last because of both characters development in different directions. I guess that Kes felt grateful to Neelix for saving her from the Kazon and saw him as some sort of hero. But when she had settled in on the ship and got other friends among the crew and other tasks as a crewmember, they drifted apart. Neelix's jealousy and over-protection, how well-meant they might have been may have been restraining for her in some ways. So the break-up was inevitable in the long run. Unfortunately it was handled very badly by the writers and producers.
That's my take of it. As for the characters, I like them both!

You have explained this in a more understandable way, and I must say, I have to agree with you.![]()
