/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

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. 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'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Technically, they could, but then you've got a hybrid person with full past memories of the others. Ethically touchy, since Tuvix would not be able to be with Tuvok's family or Kes in the same manner previously.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 9 points 7 months ago

I feel like they could have kept Tuvix and Tuvok and given up Neelix...

I kid. Mostly...

Still better than being annihilated

I mean, that would be up to Kes and Tuvoks family to decide. Complex, but families and relationships often are.

Not shining a light on the trek "transporters are actually infinite cloning beams" problem was probably for the best though.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

That's been similarly tackled from the eugenics perspective on TNG with these guys:

On the other hand, it'd be fun to have a Gary from Fallout type episode caused by the transporters.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Huh, what TNG episode is that?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

s2e18 "Up the Long Ladder" aka the planet Ireland episode.

The other plot involves a more "refined" planet populated by clones who need fresh DNA to not degrade their society.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Ahh the Ireland episode. That's why. Ive skipped it for so long I forgot the plot lines.

I don't think "ethically touchy" mattered much to Janeway...
