Maybe not young, but too young to die of a treatable cancer.

Christ, he's so young to die of a treatable cancer.

Fascists deliberately create chaos so they can try to sell you the idea that they're the only ones who can end the chaos.

Dude, in the 5th episode of season 1, they encounter an alien species that has been decimated by an infection with a phage (which is a virus that targets bacteria, not animals, but ok). This species' solution to their problem is to steal organs from other species and graft them into their own bodies. So after two millennia, they have the tech to overcome organ rejection, but can't figure out how to deal with a virus.

So they steal Neelix's LUNGS, and he sits in sickbay with no lungs while they have a whole ass conversation about trying a dangerous experimental surgery to give him holographic lungs. They do this, and at the end of the episode, their solution is to transplant one of Kes's lungs into Neelix, leaving them both with one lung.

The doctor just says, "Don't worry you'll get used to it," and the whole show moves on like none of this ever happened.

Omg. Airing alongside DS9 in the wake of TNG, I can see why I declined to watch this show when it originally aired. The season 1 writing is just so bad. But I'm gonna tough it out this time.

Oh that sounds awesome, thanks for the suggestion

Yeah in my old age, I've learned to forgive the 1st season of most shows and just power through it to get to the good stuff.

The Expanse and Mr. Robot are both huge and surprising exceptions to that rule.

No, I just started watching Voyager for the first time! This can't be true.

(In my defense, Voyager writers are as painfully terrible with science concepts in season 1 as I remembered. But this time, I'm gonna hold my nose and get through it, so I can see the stuff everyone loves so much.)

That is already illegal. Prior auth was not a necessary intervention for this problem.

This looks like a character from a Clive Barker novel. Very cool
