/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

False analogy.
No one was trying to kill Tuvok and Neelix, they were already dead. Victims of a tragic transporter accident which unfortunately ended their lives, with the additional result of a completely different individual coming into existence. Which brings me to
Tuvix isn't a belligerent, he is a complete innocent. He bears zero responsibility for the manner in which he came to be, he simply exists and, like every other living, rational being, wishes to continue existing.
Janeway's actions were not a matter of defense of others by killing an enemy who was threatening them, they were a ritual sacrifice of an innocent as a dark offering to return her dead back to life. The fact that her means was technological rather that magical doesn't change the fact that she murdered an innocent person to bring back two people who were already dead.
Haha I love that. It would have been awesome if Tuvix "mental energy" would have reappeared later to haunt the ship and take possession of various ship systems to kill Janeway. Mostly by coffee.
