Did Janeway Kill Tuvix?

Since god is the light and they are light, they are therefore gods. Since gods don't exist, holograms don't exist thus they can not die. Since what can not die and can forever lie and with strange aeons even death can die, they are therefore Cthulhu.
 
But they don't get tired. They don't get hungry. All they get is bored. Can you unionize for that?

They can't get bored if they're programmed to be too stupid to have spare thoughts, and they can't get bored if they're allowed to multitask.

DATA: With regard to romantic relationships, there is no real me. I am drawing upon various cultural and literary sources to help define my role.
JENNA: Kiss me.
(they kiss)
JENNA: What were you just thinking?
DATA: In that particular moment, I was reconfiguring the warp field parameters, analysing the collected works of Charles Dickens, calculating the maximum pressure I could safely apply to your lips, considering a new food supplement for Spot.
JENNA: I'm glad I was in there somewhere.

What I see is anger, if they are programmed to be as smart as Data, but when a woman buys a Data to be a sex slave, and he's only allowed to think about her and her happiness, and nothing the #### else, despite having a yearning to know and all and experience all, it'll be like every time you turn on the radio they're playing the same damn song.

I'd make a marriage joke here if the wife would let me.

You know that their personality and essence is code running off a hard drive in the wall (depending on the technology at hand)? The photonic avatar that the humans interact with has thing to do with "Holograms" or what they perceive to be the real world.
 
B'Elanna was a transporter clone since early season one.

No one cared.

EVERYONE in Trek who uses that damn thing is a transporter clone. Every time. Would never use it.

I'd sooner use the tech used by the terrorists in The High Ground. It might damage my DNA but at least it doesn't kill me as a matter of course!

On that basis no one need worry. Real Tuvok and real Neelix are long dead (so's Janeway, and Tom, and...).


@hux, you are being intentionally obtuse. Tuvix was a living creature with a complex biological brain. He obviously was a sentient and sapient being.

This could just as easily be said of an alternate persona in real-world multiple personality disorder. But we don't say it, or at least psychiatrists (experts) don't.
 
She was cut in half, until she was two people, a reverse Tuvix, and then one of those halves of her died.

She's not a natural hybrid anymore (A chimera? Too much Teen Wolf.) B'Elanna's a human being with modified DNA to seem klingon because her meat and gristle was so Swiss cheese, that it was falling to pieces.

:)

Imagine if Neelix wanted to go back to being Tuvix, but Tuvok didn't, so Neelix waited till Tuvok died for one reason or another, afterwhich then it seemed to Neelix that he didn't need Tuvok's consent to recombine with the Vulcans remains.

So..."The Evil Within"'s Kirk is essentially Tuvix. Every moment the real Kirk lives, Emo Kirk and Evil Kirk are denied their existance, how awful.




ON THE NOSEY!!!
