About Tuvix:

The Voltron Lions never finished a fight.

And Voltron didn't finish a fight until he got out his big caught on fire sword.

The sword isn't Voltron.

Anyone with that sword could finish the fight and Voltron can't finish a fight without the sword.

Voltron is 4 million tons of loser.

Just strap a couple engines and a cockpit onto the sword, then massproduce it and they could take back the universe in a week.

So why did Captain Planet give his powers back to the Planeteers at the end of every adventure?

Teacake, before Relativity the story was about Janeway. After Relativity the story is about megaJaneway.

They are barely different people.

Your hero from the first 5 and half years died... Was murdered during Relativity and a transporter Frankenstienlike quilt of many Janeways scissored together replaced your love without remorse or mercy because she had the will to live of 5 Kathryn Janeways.
 
Neelix made out of that situation like a bandit!

"All your underwear? You want me to keep all your underwear? Thank you, thank you, you like me, you really, really like me."

Maybe they don't wear underwear in the 24th century. They just put their used clothes in the replicator in the evening and get new ones in the morning. Same thing with the dishes, no need to do them, just throw them in the replicator for recycling at the end of the meal.
 
TNG In Theory

KEIKO: Every night, Miles leaves his socks on the floor. When we got married, I made the mistake of picking them up a few times. Then I realised, if I kept it up I'd be doing it the rest of my life. So I stopped, figuring he'd get the point and do it himself. One night goes by, two, a week, ten days. By now there's a pile of socks half a metre high.
O'BRIEN: Come on, it wasn't half a metre.
KEIKO: After two weeks I couldn't stand it any more. I bundled them up and put them in the cleaning processor. And I'm still doing it.
O'BRIEN: And a very good job she does of it, too.
However, Voy Mortal Coil.

EMH: The early stages of Ktarian development are astounding. Naomi has grown five centimetres since her last physical, and that was only three weeks ago.
WILDMAN: It seems like every time I turn around I'm recycling her clothes back into the replicator.
SEVEN: Children assimilated by the Borg are placed in maturation chambers for seventeen cycles.
How a replicator works.

A stockpile of biomatter in the heart of the replicator is reconstructed into "stuff" to order.

That stock pile is limited.

That stockpile of biomatter also has to be precisely exactly a specific substance that can be safely changed into all the things that a replicator transforms biomatter into.

Mixing colours with whites.

Putting the wrong sort of fuel in your car.

There must be slightly dangerous/inconsumptable yet ordinary substances that you should not recycle into your replicator for the sake of it's constitution.

Logically then, only replicated clothes should be recycled into the replicator and non replicated clothes are cleaned in the cleaning processor.

But there'd be a filter for in case if you make a mistake, you're ignorant or wantonly defy the owners manual.

Which means that you would have a wad of unreplicatable matter building up in a depository inside your replicator that has to eventually be disposed of which would mean that your machine is displaying a terrible conservation of mass ratio.

Although how Sam is talking, a replicator is a replacement for a trash can, and not a replacement for a washing machine.

It's still more energy efficient to wash clothes than to rinse then through the replicator to remove ground in stains... however...

Voy The Void

BOSAAL: Who did you raid to get fresh vegetables?
JANEWAY: They're replicated. One of the crews that joined us had technology that tripled our replicator efficiency.
NEELIX: It may not be a gourmet feast, but we can feed five hundred people a day now using half the power it took us a few days ago.
Maybe after the Void, replicator washing was more energy efficient than Cleaning Processor washing?

You could get cleaned with the transporter too, I think. If the transporter can filter out harmful micro-organisms, surely it can also filter out dirt.

People who use the transporter every day, shouldn't need to take a shower...
 
I tried to use that word a couple weeks ago to a clerk at a gas station.

"Y'all."

It took a far too long time to explain that I wasn't having a stroke.
 
It sometimes slips in when I'm talking with someone, and the expression wasn't that common in my part of Missouri. But I attended a school in southeast Missouri, and my ex was from there, so probably picked it up then. But I was born a Yankee.

As Rodney Dangerfield said, my folks were so poor, if I hadn't been born a boy, I would have had nothing to play with.
