CW: Spoilers for a famous Star Trek: Voyager episode
I'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.

Few 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).

So, do Tuvok and Neelix have any memory of being Tuvix?

I am sorry but the axiom isn't "The whole is never greater than the sum of its parts." It's "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."

And with "Sex!" Tuvix has planted the seed of his own undoing. 😩

Almost 27 years later, and killing #Tuvix still strikes me as wrong. (Though the episode did give me a chance to note to my 14yo that Tuvix was practicing #CivilDisobedience on the bridge.

CW: Star Trek: Voyager episodes "Author, Author", "Tuvix" and possibly "Latent Image"
YouTube channel Ryan's Edits did an interesting cut "The Doctor experiences a lapse in memory" between #StarTrekVoyager episodes #AuthorAuthor and #Tuvix, that implies that perhaps #Janeway deleted his memories of the events regarding Tuvix, much like she did #LatentImage.
Or perhaps #TheDoctor made a snide remark at Janeway? ;) -
