How do you think Picard would've handled the Tuvix situation from Voy?

[Captain Jerk]

If it had happened on TOS, Kirk would have given an emotional speech about responsibility and morality and the right to live--right before he drop-kicked Tuvix and shoved him into the transporter beam.

Re: How do you think Picard would've handled the Tuvix situation from

"Starfleet was founded to seek out new life... well, there it sits!"

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or of the one."

Which does Picard believe holds more weight? I personally think he would decide to let Tuvix live, based on the idea that "What's done is done" and that Tuvix had no choice in the matter. In my opinion, Picard would view killing Tuvix as an unacceptable solution.

Although, if it had happened on TNG, it wouldn't have been Tuvok and Neelix. Perhaps Reg and Worf? And he'd call himself Rorf. And in the end, Picard would allow him to live, but it wouldn't matter because Rorf would decide to sacrifice himself to save Reg and Worf. Rorf's last words would be, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or of the one. Goodbye."

More like Data and Worf, resulting in Dorf:

Picard, as always, would've found a diplomatic solution by re-separating only their heads, so they could be conjoined together forever as best buds.

Haha this is awesome. Janeway straight up murdered Tuvix, and most of the crew turning a blind eye to it the way they did was sickening. When Tuvix begged Paris for help on the bridge and Paris just stared doing nothing, he should have used his Vulcan strength to snap his neck like a chicken. Lol what a bunch of a-holes (Doctor excluded of course). Paris at least deserved a hard slap across the face. If Tuvix spit in his face, Paris would probably do nothing because he knows he deserves it.

The sad thing is that poor pathetic Tuvix told them they would all have to live with doing this to him, and yet he was totally forgotten right after this episode -- not a single character lost a wink of sleep over this. If I was a showrunner, I would have had both Neelix and Tuvok plagued by nightmares the rest of their lives, until one day one of them snaps and visits Janeway in the middle of the night in her bedroom and suffocates her with her pillow.

My vote is for Tuvok. Remember the look on his face when he strangled Neelix in "Meld"? Imagine waking up staring at that face in the night.

^LOL.

Do you remember that episode where an alien remarked to Janeway that her crew was heroic after he witnessed a few of them volunteer to risk their lives like it was no big deal? I wonder if he would have said the same thing if he witnessed them all gang up on P like they did at the end of this episode..

Alien: Captain, your crew is....
Janeway: Heroic? Yes, I know.
Alien: I was going to say a bunch of disgusting cowards and thugs, but whatever floats your boat!

*gang up on poor Tuvix

The Tuvix debate. It's like a fart in a turbolift that no amount of air scrubbers can dissipate.

What about that clone of Trip?

 

[Empok Nor Station Manager]

Scoot over to Nervala IV and then create a second Tuvix with the same transporter accident that created Thomas Riker.... kill one to restore 2, and keep the second Tuvix in a museum somewhere.... :P
