Kaylee might could run circles around most Starfleet engineers, LaForge included, but I bet she'd make B'Elanna uncomfortable with the way she hacked things together to make it work

That seems troublesome

Cause I got Faayyy of the harrrrr🎵

Thanks for picking that one up. Too often online it seems like most people have forgotten how long the newest Star Wars has been the bad one.

Probably partially because we're getting old

90+% of the time you get common mistakes. Should ofs, they're - there - their confusions, apostrophes for plurals.

The kind of thing that confuses ESL speakers. The decent thing would seem to be to try and stick to the way it's taught rather than go with the "it doesn't matter" route when it absolutely matters to some.

Except that it would be "they should, of course,".

Not the 1865 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland which also has the same credentials but, as you can see, is earlier?

Still not sold on calling all of it Isekai regardless, but at least check your own facts

Except they break like Holodeck safety protocols

Hey, some of us are proud to have faith of the heart!

And no one's gonna bend or break you

It does grow on you after a bit though

Occam's razor is just one tool though, not an end all be all answer. Complicated things happen.

I can respect your position. Even if it is wrong :)

In more seriousness though I think we're about as close to agreeing as we'll get. Even if a third of the crew reacted to him as I suggested long term it's worth being part of the consideration.

It's always nice to have a respectful disagreement. Moreso on the Internet.

Totally agree on credit to the writers.

I don't think dead is really a fair term. For one of implies a finality that clearly wasn't the case. Even aside from that, when Spock was dead would it have been inappropriate to try and recover him? What if doing so would cost two more lives? What if he and someone else had been dead and recovering them would cost one life? The needs of the many and all that.

Your question is both fair and unfair. It's like asking when someone's death is no longer tragic. News of a child dying is generally referred to as a tragic event. Is it still when that person is 20?

Another factor to consider is how Tuvix's life would progress after declining. There's at least one obvious and one slightly less obvious bits that come immediately to mind. Imagine your among the crew and someone important to you was lost in such a transport accident. Can you honestly say you'd treat Tuvix the same after you found out he could have brought them back and declined to? Just from an ordinary person stand point that's already hard, but lets add in the other part.

How many people aboard Voyager, or any other Starfleet vessel, wouldn't lay down their life for two of their crew members, even if they didn't really know them directly? It's an even bigger issue for Voyager because they're stranded. After everything happens if it comes to a desperate situation, would you be sure Tuvix would do the same for you, or do you think you might worry if he'd be looking out just for himself. I'm not claiming such a thing is right or wrong, but it is human (and many other races) behavior. It's entirely possible Tuvix would have been spared only to be a pariah. At what point is it not worth it?
