Every Year is the Year of Star Trek

Wait until he gets to the episode where Tom breaks warp 9. Holy [expletive], talk about all-time wonderfully bad Trek. I was stoned watching it and every development was essentially the galaxy brain meme but in my own head.

The name of that episode is Threshold. I am not such an encyclopedia that I remember a lot of names of episodes; but I remember that one. And I still have nightmares.

It's so wonderfully terrible.

The only thing I would've done differently is have the doctor put him in medical stasis immediately until a fix was discovered rather than let him develop deep awareness, social connections, and a function on the ship.

That's a really good answer. On a side not, that actor's performance was truly fantastic.

I'm curious to know everyone's thoughts on Tuvix. Would you have made the same decision as Janeway?

IMO Tuvix was murdered. No way I would have made this decision. The whole crew has blood on their hands. I mean look at this:

WHY DO YOU LIKE TO MURDER THRILL!?!?!

The Tuvix episode is one of those great Star Trek episodes where no matter which side of the issue you fall on you are not exactly comfortable. Janeway's command style is really defined by this episode. Spock might have said the needs of the two outweigh the needs of the one

It is a fun one. It's a great episode to stir the pot with Trek fans. IMO Tuvok and Neelix are both dead once Tuvix is created. This isn't a completely fair video, but I agree with its overall point:

That was actually an interesting video and it makes you wonder how Picard and even some of the other Star Trek captains would have handled the situation. Sisko probably does the same thing as Janeway; not sure about Picard or Pike. Kirk would kill Tuvix every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

What season does this Tuvix monster appear? Are Tuvok and Neelix both dead and gone from the show after this, or do they somehow bring each of them back?

It is towards the end of season 2. You surely don't want us to spoil it for you!

Can't wait to get to this Tuvix episode. Sounds disturbing.

Harry Kim just made it back from his bizarro timeline where he had a great job living in a sweet loft in San Fran with a hot fiance and was being considered one of the most promising engineers to come out of the academy in years to return to being left for dead on Voyager in the middle of nowhere. Good call, Harry! All because in that timeline Tom Paris was a burnout and Harry didn't think it was fair to his Tom to continue living a baller life in a world where Tom was struggling. Uhhh, why? Isn't your Tom still back on Voyager doing his thing? You think Voyager Tom will be so tortured by your loss that his life will never be the same if you don't make it back? Harry, are you in love with Tom?

And Bizarro Tom sacrifices his life as he knows it to get Harry back to his! Whaaaat? Dude, you're still drunk burnout Tom even if living his best life Tom exists in another reality. Harry used your ass to get back to his Tom.
