शून्यताI’m with Janeway on this one. If some new dude took away my 2 coffee bros and there was a way to get them back, he’d be gone in no time even if he was a messiah. (iah) #StarTrek #STVoy #Tuvix #TheBugles
ARGVMI~1.PIFWhat need of the many is denied by Tuvix's existence?
The needs of Kes and maybe T'Pel are denied, but they will recover, and that's it as far as I know.
On the other hand, I have to wonder what need of Tuvix is denied by the separation. The need to live, he claims, but he also claims that Tuvok and Neelix live on in him, so is the reverse not also true?

Bradley M. KühnZOMG, I think this all the time. I read once the transporter was a plot device invented to remove what would have been a constant series of scenes shuttling people around in small craft.
Then, fast forward a few years, and becomes the MacGuffin that gives us such goofy plotlines as #Tuvix and Rascals. I mean, whiny tween Picard is funny but 🙄
It is cannon tho that Doctor McCoy felt transporters were completely foolish for organic beings due to safety risks.

Derek Caelin is writing a bookI've been watching #StarTrek #Voyager with my son. Last night we came to the #Tuvix episode. Here's my hot take, 30 years after the episode aired.
Janeway's decision to kill Tuvix to restore Neelix and Tuvok is unsatisfying, not because it is wrong, because it is out of step with her character.
Janeway's central dilemma is that she puts Star Fleet principles above everything, including her deep desire to get her crew home. The drama of the show is often about her wrestling with this dilemma.
Janeway can absolutely make an amoral decision for the good of her crew, but to ring true she has to acknowledge that she is committing a wrong. Here that doesn't happen.
They could "fix" the episode by having Janeway refusing to kill Tuvix, and grieve. Tuvix then sacrifices himself when he sees Kes' grief. This would be the "easy way out", but one of the rules of old Star Trek is that doing the right thing ends up with good consequences.
AnsonFew people remember the Bantam paperback that came out a few months after the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Tuvix" aired in 1996. "Tuvix Must Die!" purports to be written by Kathryn Janeway and is supposed to be her justification for splitting Tuvix back into Tuvok and Neelix. The actual author has never been identified (some speculate it was ghost-written by Gene Roddenberry).
Coles Street PotholeAfter #TheThaw and #Tuvix the previous two days, tonight we get #LittleHouseOnThePrairie I mean #Resolutions. 😁 Schedule giving us a little bit of a break.
