/c/TenForward: 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Thanks for this. 😁
Weyoun 5 was a great man, a true patriot. We don’t talk about Weyoun 6.
Fun fact: I skipped him entirely and used a photo of Weyoun 7. But I forgot to change the caption.
I’ve you tried to close and open again the pattern buffer ?
Oh I wouldn't suggest that. But for a tv episode I imagine it could be entertaining just wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it..."chirp chirp* oh the enterprise has dealt with it numerous times? Huh...you don't say....great talking with you... uh huh bye now.
Appears the pattern buffers are being recycled again everyone, hold onto your seats....and phasers if ya got em.
Remind me again why we hate Tuvix so much? All I remember from that episode is “stiff uptight guy merges with funny chef guy to make stiff uptight funny chef guy.”
I don’t think the community hates Tuvix. He keeps coming up because they won’t let Janeway’s questionable order for his destruction be forgotten.
I’ll have to go back & watch that one again, but didn’t they just reverse the fusion whatnot & turn him back into Tuvok & Neelix again?
Tuvix specifically indicated that he did not want to die. He was a new individual life.
Yes. Straight up murdering the guy.
Yes.
And making that decision is the moral quandary
I love tuvix. I didn't really have a problem with tuvok but y'know, Vulcan. FUCK Neelix. He was an insufferable piece of shit for so long. He eventually got a little better but not enough to redeem his character.
Tuvix was the perfect blend of both; the two extremes tempered each other out. He was intelligent without being robotic, cheerful instead of being a crackhead, good at cooking and security, and willing to contribute to make up for the "loss" of two crewmembers due to his creation. Now obviously you can't just kill off two core cast members so he was always going go away, but it was a very interesting trolley problem that Janeway dealt with, probably correctly. Factoring in my personal preference? I'd vent them both out of an airlock just to get rid of neelix.
~~trolly problems.~~ airlock predicaments
Annoying? Yes. Predatory? Also yes.
I heard it was mostly instigated by some Ensign she never promoted...
I mean I think most people dislike Neelix to begin with, so it’s understandable Janeway would hate Tuvix enough to murder him.
Because you forgot to add the Orchid.
Had me in the title, not gonna lie
