In another timeline we would have had Robert Picardo as Neelix. That's the role he initially auditioned for!
I want a version where he plays Neelix but his character is otherwise unchanged
Please state the nature of the culinary emergency
Hah, reminds me of the time Bender tried to become a cook on Futurama.
“There was nothing wrong with that food. The salt level was 10% less than a lethal dose.”

He should have played Picard.
Ah yes, Captain Robert Picard.
