Heeeey. That’s not fair to Neelix. Sure he was annoying but he was largely supposed to be annoying. 
I could write a whole blog post about Neelix and his role subverting the “every man” character in literature. If I ever get my SF media blog going, I might just do that.
I’m happy there’s so much love for Voyager on this thread. I mean, sure, lots of hate too. >_> I really didn’t get the show for a long time but it’s become one of my favorite Star Trek series.
Star Trek isn’t dead. It just needs to evolve. With TOS, it regularly pushed the boundaries of what censors and local affiliates would allow to be aired. Up until a few episodes of DS9, the other series didn’t. As much as I love my TNG, it was even a bit behind the times with its attempts to replicate an 80s era office dynamic (and even aesthetic). The first two Abrams reboot movie were steps back to even before TOS the TV show and not just because they were set to come before TOS in a parallel universe caused by handwavium jello.
I like the new trailer. It’s not great. We can complain about the costuming if people want but I don’t really care to see a 2017 version of the predecessor to the best technology and fashion the 1960s could conceive of anyway.
As @clifford pointed out, there’s something to be really optimistic about in the new trailer and I can’t wait to see where they go with it.
