The Tuvix Episode Feels Worse Every Time I Watch It
On our way through all of Star Trek as far as we can get, my wife and I just watched the Tuvix episode, a first time for her maybe, where I've probably seen it a dozen times. It's just wrong what they did, and it's so heart wrenching (which I respect them for at least not making it easy on the audience). It's the equivalent of taking a healthy person, and forcibly removing their organs to bring two people back to life who are already dead.
They're all murderers, mostly Janeway, but also Kess, (who can be forgiven for having the most emotionally at stake), even the doctor while he refused to help did nothing to dissuade her, no one did except the victim.
Honestly it really hurts my enjoyment of the show. Suddenly it's not the good guys exploring space and discovering new things, it becomes a horror show where the people you trust flip a switch in their heads and suddenly are willing to do the worst.
