Homestead

Heart warming, bittersweet and just plain emotion playing by writer Raf Green in this episode. He was given a difficult job of writing out everyone’s favourite Talaxian and he did it in style, not to discount Ethan Phillips’ performance here, the usual comic relief character is driven by passion and determination to defend his people here and leaving Voyager is a logical step for him, not one bourne out of a writer’s need to surprise the audience.

Farewell Neelix, you came so far on our journey but now you must stay behind and be with your people.
