Oh! It was Tom who isn't funny, not Neelix.
I think I must be super crosseyed today.

I've been watching the new episode of Murder in the First for five minutes now and it really hadn't dawned on me yet, that they cast Larry King as Larry King to interviewer the murderer.

Is it really that hard for you to understand that others might disagree with you?
I genuinely think they didn't ruin a great series but improved it. Some of the earlier episodes are good, but moving the focus in season 4 gave us some great episodes that I am never bored with re-watching. Over all the quality of the show improved dramatically in the later seasons, IMHO. Without seasons 4 - 7 I wouldn't be a Voyager fan.
If they had kept Kes and jettisoned Harry the series would have been the same. The best actors (Picardo, Ryan) would have gotten the best stories and they would have run with it. Kes would have a few woowoo I'm so supernatural episodes and otherwise would have just said faux wise things like Troi whenever the storyline called for it. Not much would have changed.
I loved Troi's insights!
Troi: "We have to get out of here now."
Picard (thinking): Well, duh!
B'Elanna Torres: Let's get one thing straight. I don't appreciate you or anyone else speculating about the kind of friendships I have, or who I have them with!
The Doctor: Sorry. I didn't realize I'd struck a nerve. Perhaps you'd like a tranquilizer.
This cemented Joe as one of my all-time favorite Star Trek characters.

He is such a bitch

Everything the Doctor did cemented him as one of the best characters in Trek for me.
I forget which moment during my first run of it got me really loving the EMH though. Pretty sure it was in Season 1.
When you have a bunch of Vikings cheering his name, it's hard not to like the guy.
That's "the guy" as in the Doctor. Not "the guy" as in Guy. Of course, it's hard not to like Guy too, but he doesn't have Vikings cheering his name like the other guy.
If I'm rambling, it's because someone woke me up 15 minutes ago.

I also love The Doctor's sarcastic comments.
I must admit that I wasn't too impressed in the first two episodes. Although I took an immediate liking off all the main characters while watching the excellent pilot episode "Caretaker", The Doctor was the one that impressed me the least.
All that changed in episode 3, "Time And Again" which happens to be one of my top 10 Voyager favorite episodes. You just have to watch the conversation between The Doctor, Kes and Neelix in sickbay to understand why:
The comment about being on The Voyage Of The damned is excellent!
However, his program seem to be malfunctioning because he's obviously suffering from amnesia in this episode. He seem to have forgotten that he did treat Kes in "Caretaker" and that another crew (The Maquis) joined Voyager at the same time. Ant that was three months before the Events in "Time And Again
Here's another favorite conversation:
Ah, you just have to love the guy......or hologram!
Not to mention his constant comments about "I'm a doctor, not a.......
However, I must point out that I find the name "Joe" a bit average.
For me, his full name will always be:
Lewis Shmullus Schweitzer Zimmermann

Those listed above are one of the reasons the Doctor is one of my favourite characters. His sarcastic comments and long explanations are so entertaining!
Although, the doctor decided to abandon the name Schweitzer because the memory of it was too painful. I think Freia may have been the first woman he had romantic feelings for.
I object to your use of the word "female" and "Feelings" at this early stage in his development.
They both had factory settings.
They both had factory settings.
In that case, I think that Shmullus would be a proper name.
In some of th early Voyager books, he is referred to as "Doctor Zimmermann".
The Doctor took a name in the final episode.
You'd know that if you'd seen it more than once.
(But the tiimeline reset, so it doesn't count.)
Personally, I liked "Dr Mozart" that he used briefly in Before and After.

With Zimmerman I remember that Susan Wright's book "Violations" used that name in every scene that had the Doctor, and I remember Wright commenting in "Voyages Of Imagination" that the Zimmerman name was in early scripts that she was given for reference, and apparently there were plans for the Doctor to take the name of his "creator", but it was ultimately dropped.
