Pffft.
Janeway didn't order Tuvix murdered.
She stepped up like a goddamn lady and did it herself.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

Recently started playing Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown. I killed Tuvix, and I’ll do it again on my 2nd play-through.
I got to that part the other day and I was curious to spare him just to see what would happen but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Did a manual save point and killed him, then reloaded the save and did it again. No regrets.
Yeah, but she could have used the cloning glitch & murdered him twice tho.
Janeway did nothing wrong.
She saved neelix.
Honestly, I could’ve gone either way on Neelix. Tuvok was cool, though.
The real crime.
Didn't she like, assist the borg in committing genocide?
She didn't have her coffee she can't be held responsible.
True, but Janeway could have done a lot better too - she should have shot Tuvix on sight, before any explanation was given (given the chance Tuvok would have understood and agreed to the sacrifice).
Rip that flower tho.
AND I'D DO IT AGAIN!
“If it wasn’t for those meddling temporal offficers.”
A few issues with this.
Firstly, I'm pretty sure I remember doing it herself.
Secondly, I don't think she'd need to be pressured into a shouting match. She'd just say it. "Yes, I did it. It was a tough call to make, but I had to make it."
While I agree with you on what canonical Janeway would do, "A Few Good Men" (in which the senior officer does yell during the climax) is a fun movie to parody with Trek situations.
There is a reason why the Starfleet leadership promoted Janeway to be a desk Admiral and get her as far away from the Chair as possible.
Oh but Janeway wanted to be a desk admiral. She was quite clear about it in one episode; when she gets back home she'll accept the promotion and be done commanding a ship.
I read that in Chrisjen Avasarala voice.
Tuvix is actually about abortion rights. A creation from two different people who removes both of them from their previous existence, who some extremists claim should have a right to exist despite his ultimately parasitic nature.
/s kind of but not really
I put off watching this movie for so long, but it's surprisingly great.
