/c/TenFoward: 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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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. 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

What bothers me the most about that episode is that, for all of Tuvix’s plighting at everyone, not a single spoiled aboard that ship took his side.
I mean, really? Are we supposed to believe that no one thought he should live? Or that Janeway ran some kind of terror ship that nobody dared voice a contrarian opinion?
Ah, I see you've watched Voyager before.
The Doctor was massively against it.
Janeway was very "shut up ya dumb hologram! I'm indifferent about whether you should even have any rights at all, so don't push it or you're next" about it
It was more a Hippocratic oath thing than actual empathy, if my memory serves. Or at least I took that way. At any rate, an episode written to be divisive and with no clear answer, and only the program coded to “do no harm” is against terminating the patient? I doubt that very much.
I have never been able to solve this one for my own self. No idea what I would do Janeway’s shoes, and I’ve pondered it a fair amount.
It could go either way. I wouldn’t be able to terminate a creature pleading for their life. But it bothers me that the whole crew was one-sided.
