          I read it on Shitty Daystrom once, before the Great Migration. Thank them for the idea.

          I wish we had Shitty Daystrom here…

            You should request it. I too miss shitty daystrom.

            I was kicked off of Reddit last year for being too awesome and suggesting that queen Elizabeth dying wouldn’t be a bad thing. Lol. She died later that week

              They said for another person something about numbers. However, Shitty Daystrom stuff can be on Risa until they get an actual community. so…

      It’s a complex episode that epitomises the very best of Star Trek writing.

      However, what is telling is how a minority of fans think that because Neelix and Tuvok died in an accident, Tuvix needs to die in order to set that right.

      Morally, I think it is wrong to sacrifice Tuvix and that they are a living being with a right to exist regardless of what accidents and what deaths preceded their creation. If I was in Janeway’s position I wouldn’t have made her choice, but I can understand why some people might have, and consequently been terribly haunted by their own decision. Though I would still disagree with it.

    I think the reasoning is pretty solid, stemming from the many vs the one.

    Keeping Tuvix saves 1 plant. Removing the plant and splitting Tuvok and Neelix back saves 2 lives.

    2>1.

    Is it still shitty? God damn right it is. But it’s still logical, even if a bit sterile.
