@@Brasswatchman they actually talk about the “trace pattern” in TNG. It’s used to give Picard back his corporeal form in “Lonely Among Us”, and it’s used to de-age Pulaski in “Unnatural Selection”.
They showed in DS9 that the buffers were massive, compared to the rest of the station. TNG was able to use the buffer echo and the medical scans. They were also able to get the quantum brain pattern from Pulaski's aged body.
It can mean two things 1: the impromptu fusion of two humanoid life forms with a flower 2: the impromptu execution of a member of the crew to bring back two dead crewmembers.
T'lynn discovered an anomalous signal that lead to the breaking of the Pakled and Klingon Alliance, while also created a regenerative shield matrix that enhanced her ship's shields to 120%. For this she was removed from Vulcan High Command and sent to the Cerritos, where she accidentally fused most of the senior staff into an amorphous blob of limbs and teeth while trying to prevent a mutiny. Where upon she was promoted to Provisional Lieutenant Junior Grade...

@@creepyasgramdpa9916 Naw, no immediate threat to her survival there. That was her going "You get to look me in the eye while I erase you from existence. I ain't even going to blink."

Being an old school trekkie......saw many original movies in theaters, i love this show! They did and continue to do so much right with it, and giving such a funny take on the universe is what was needed! Cant wait for season 5!
They don't even have lock on their doors. Remember the TNG were they find the people frozen in a satellite and one dude just walks unto the bridge during a "Romulan encounter" No wonder the changelings easily crippled the alpha quad.
@@ericwilliams1659And before that accessed information he wasn't supposed to access. And they can't lock the computer because they trust everyone on the ship...
How do you deal with the moral ramifications of the tuvix problem? Make the situation so bad that the fused lose sentience and unfusing them is the more humane option. Also, T'lynn's eyebrow raise makes me think she did not expect a mass fusing when she did it. So I can't fault her for intentionally making such a mess.
It's really not an ethical dilemma at all. It's roughly akin to someone who is on powerful drugs, or who has experienced brain damage; they are in an altered mental state, where they might even be happy, but they are also incapable of rationally judging their own fate. That's especially evident in this episode, where being tuvixed clearly made them mentally unstable. In that circumstance, when an individual is mentally compromised, it's the prerogative of the local authority to return them to their original state, judging that it is what their original self would have chosen if mentally competent.
@@demiserofd they’re not mentally compromised, though? They were of sound mind until they saw the log stating the solution was their own demise. Then they started behaving erratically. This is pretty much the same as Dr. Who regeneration. An incident occurred then after the regeneration/“tuvixing” a new person walks away with the memories of the previous person/people.
Her reasoning was sound. She assumed that because there was no flora in the transport beam when she energized, there was no risk of any fusion. What she (and I) failed to consider was the biomatter already present in the fused life forms might have lingering traces of active reproductive cells. This raises other points. Suppose Janeway chose not to separate Tuvix back into Neelix & Tuvok. What would have happened the next time Tuvix transported w/another crewmember? Could Tuvix have been merged with that crewmember also? Is there a way to even know short of risking a third crewmember's being affected? And if it could happen...just how many times would that work? What if Janeway didn't just get back Neelix & Tuvok, but protected the entire crew from potential aftereffects? Does that make her decision more ethical?
They could have tried solving it by intentionally making a transporter clone when unfusing them. If they could do this in a way that the people are unfused when the clone is created, and never having a copy of the fused person existing for even a moment, I think this would have no moral ramifications (or at least as little as possible) Both the fused and unfused people want to exist. So having the transporter clone(s) exist unfused from the start sounds morally sound. If they made a clone of the fused person, then unfused them, that still presents moral issues.
@@Spencer-wc6ew , brilliant solution! It would be tricky...they'd have to recreate the conditions of the storms that created duplicates of Riker & Boimler, but how hard could that be?
It's an interesting way to side step the whole Tuvix Moral Question. Like the Hybrid Crew was doing a Violent Takeover, so it was an Emergency Situation. Also the Cronenbergian Blob probably desires the sweet release of death.
The thing about the Tuvix episode is that in all other episodes where this happens some deus-ex-machina comes along to keep the crew from having to hire the guest star. Data's daughter dies slash ascends in the episode she's introduced. All the other no-win situations that the Captains had come along up to this point, well, the writing staff said they were allowed to cheat at the Kobayashi Maru. Voyager's writing room dared to think 'Well, what happens if we *don't* let the Captain cheat? What happens if Tuvix wants to live and there's no magical reason or third option that arrives to get Janeway off the hook?' And while that's something that's never been done before and thus a new and interesting story - it's a story that ends either with Janeway murdering Tuvix or passively allowing Tuvok and Neelix's existences to end through inaction. When the story is about how there is no third option, the Captain ends up blamed for not finding that third option. RIP Tuvix - while you were technically murdered by Janeway, the responsibility falls on the writer's room intentionally pushing Janeway farther than any Captain of any Star Trek vessel had ever been asked to go before. I can't blame her and I would vote to acquit at her court-martial - making horrifying decisions about who lives and who dies and attempting to protect the ship is what the Captain is supposed to do. She was just put in a situation that not even Sisko, 'the man who can live with it', was asked to go into, and she survived it and saved Tuvok and Neelix. Tuvix should be remembered like Ensign Sito Jaxa - a sad casualty of Starfleet's risky missions whose death forms the emotional core of the episode they star in. Don't try to save them from outside the universe, you'd lose what made those episodes special.
@@JeffLionheartFrom a non-diagetic standpoint keeping Twovix would have been cheaper, at least for a while, because they were effectively 2 characters being played by a single actor, and they could have eventually brought in a junior actor to play a minor role to fill the gap in the raw cast count. The main reason the writers were obliged to reverse it was the producers obsessively criticising any attempt at status quo shakeups, apparently they kept pushing back and watering down a lot of the most interesting ideas Voyager had because, at the time, serialised TV dramas were still a new concept (DS9 was still on the air for a big chunk of Voyager's run and even they had trouble with the producers despite doing big numbers) and the producers were scared of losing ratings by doing something creative and different. Similar story today really, with a lot of repetitive junk getting tons and tons of sequels while creative risk taking gets punished.
It would be good if they actually came up with a different solution to Janeway and examined the ethical dilemma more. They sort of worked around it by having everyone accidentally merger into one non-sentient being, removing the ethical dilemma and allowing them to separate everyone into their original personalities without worrying about 'killing' a distinct life form. But it is just meant to be fun and making a joke based on Janeway's extremely controversial actions and made for a good episode. Freeman pointing out that obviously we're not in the Delta quadrant so we can just hand the problem over to the Federation's best to work it out, but the hybrids freaking out and over-reacting when they discovered Janeway's solution was absolutely hilarious.
Honestly i thought since the captain was so adamant about not repeating janeways mistake, they would have used another transporter error that produced tom riker(and dupe boiler in an earlier episode) to duplicate the hybrid person, at the same time splitting them, allowing all 3 to live on.
@vexamma 2 I want to see are Boimler and Rutherford Tuvixed and what'd happen if Boimler had been Tuvixed with his clone, the sheer amount of neurosis he'd have 😁😁😁
Worst bit is they likely also designed them. The issue with the security is they need a computer system any race of alien can access and use and talk to non-starfleet ships, interact with computers that are 120 years old at times, etc, etc. It gets complex.
@@daniels7907 All you need is a alien species whose tech can interact with Starfleets and is a system that is "alien" to the computer and the species gets in. Thats all it takes, really is very easy at times. TAS, which is sort of canon (there are some non-canon elements because they didn't know TAS was going to be canon at all when it was written), mentioned in its storyline that M'Ress, Spock and Arex were the only aliens during that part of the ships 5 year mission with Kirk. The rest of the crew at the time were human. This should give some idea of the problems with Starfleet. The primary systems of Starfleet were originally human design mostly, the vulcans came on board later, as did many other planets. But that doesn't change humans did a lot of the backboning for 100 years and this has consequences.
in star trek dolphins and octopi have been granted human rights thanks to universal translators being able to bridge the gap between theirs and humans intellects, as such star trek uplifted humans have incorporated them into their society as equals, even to the point that they can work on starfleet ships as full rank officers. thats why the ship has whales on it, and on top of that the TNG manual has a map with a whole section of the enterprise designed for whales, down to custom aquatic hallways and escape pods. so its been cannon from the start. ( just kinda impossible to show without cartoon magic )
I know that,@@Spaceagefox, I just wanted to know how they moved them from CetOps to the transporter room, unless they had their own transporter in there. But then they would have needed to throw a human into the water with the flower to beam them out together?
Technically t’llips is just as bad as janeway, he is taking 2 unique sentient beings and creating a new one, which is basically like murdering them since while they are in some way in the new creation they still ceased to be
I have used an argument when people tried to defend Tuvix. It murders Tuvok and Neelix. There was no good solution to it. But I would rather have two crew members than one. Who know how long Tuvix would of lasted before some Genetic Degradation kicked in?
@@Igarappappa T'illups didn't even need to do it, because since the Cerritos wasn't stranded in the Delta Quadrant, they probably had far more available options that Captain Freeman was more than willing to explore.
Worse actually he is murdering two to create one, and he not reviving old but creating one that is new. Their also no greater good of ship needing all the manpower it can. So ethically his only real defense is he panicked.
0:04 First Tillups then "Doctor Captain" Freeleman, The "Furry Fandom" is gonna have a field day with this episode. 0:56 also Genderbent hybrid Shaxx is a Prophet damn silver minx.
Vulcan women are just so good. Attractive but so deadpanned about it. Vulcan women are like, "I know you think I'm beautiful, and your appraisal of me is accurate; however, you must do more to earn coitus from me. I require a minimum of three dinner dates, two long walks on the beach, and for you to solve no less than 20 quadratic inequalities. Only then shall you obtain the coveted snu snu. Remember, you must show your work." 😅
Props to the writers and T'Lynn's voice actor, they get a lot of emotional range without breaking her Vulcan'ness. I love her paniced "oh shit I fucked up" voice
Anyone thing T'lyn's "water, room temperature" is like, her way of trying too hard? "Look at how stoic and logical i am. I am definitely not insecure about not being Vulcan enough, no sirree. I'm the token sane person in a ship of irrational non-vulcans."
Nah I could see humans defaulting the water to cold. Then Vulcans having to specify room temp bc it’s more logical to drink that way and therefore what they are used to. So from the character’s perspective it would an almost annoying part of being on the ship. But, from a writing perspective, yes lol. They are trying to make you feel the differences between humans and Vulcans in funny ways
@@tokuelite5554okay… but when you mix sentient people together to CREATE that non-sentient ball of meat, you’re still effectively killing them. “it would be wrong to kill somebody before we chop them up, so instead we have to… ‘turn them into a lifeless body…’ um… with magic. and then we can chop them up, no moral issues whatsoever!”
I would actually like to see what T’lynn and Tendi Tuvix would be like or even a Mariner and Boimler Tuvix! Would Boiriner be a highly efficient and kickass ensign or a worried unconfident slacker?
T'lyn really was the missing element to the lower decks crew. They are all so spastic so she plays the perfect straight man to all their antics. I laugh every time someone hugs her and she leeps her deadpan expression.
1:09 they could of many an entire series out of this, many star fleets trying to fight against these hybrids, romulonas, Vulcans , etc all trying to fight against this new nation and junk, even the brig would be either with them or against them because there fusing or something idk
They could also get away with obsurd ships and technology. The combination of clothing implies that non living material could be tuvixed. What would be the result of an Oberth and a Klingon bird of prey? A heavily armed science ship that self destructs when a disrupter is fired within a sector of it? Side note, I want Lower Decks to have the Pakleds try to form an alliance with the Borg, "You like ship pieces, we like ship pieces. We should be friends ." Their overall goals are not too different.
If you use that logic in theory they are all copies of beings that are copied. The Klingons, Vulcans, Romulans, humans and Q would only be judging copies. And Q being a powerful being why did he never realize that?
I agree with T’Lynn star fleet systems are easy to circumvent just planted a virus into the systems and star fleet is scrambling to figure out what happened haha.
I really don't like how they made the cheap way out of the plot and just made the hybrids "the baddies" who are allowed to kill. It would be far more exiting if they found an solution for the moral dilemma.
is it a moral dilemma. He is alive, but he has no true self. His thoughts, his dreams, his memories; all are just amalgamation of 2 people. also because one is born does not ultimately mean one is entitled to life
I like that, despite being a full-on near-emotionless Vulcan, T'Lynn is actually still kind of a goof and subtly impulsive
For a Vulcan she has a really sarcastic sense of humor that I find appealing.
Spock: Captain, not in front of the Klingons.
I just hope they don't make her a copy of Tendi. Let her have her own arc.

This is why you keep transporter records for atleast 24 hours.

Oh, thank god, I thought I was the only one
CA-CAW
Know what I mean?
When you said "kind of bad," do you mean that in a good or bad way?
@@dan_ryuga in this context,it means sexy.
starfleet should have shot voyager into the sun as soon as they got home and disembarked. that ship is cursed.
She is so much like Raven but without the demonic powers.
0:04 First Tillups then "Doctor Captain" Freeleman, The "Furry Fandom" is gonna have a field day with this episode. 0:56 also Genderbent hybrid Shaxx is a Prophet damn silver minx.
"I want a fish!" *FPPPPT* XD
1:00 why do I laugh so hard at Swhale Swhalens
Vulcan women are just so good. Attractive but so deadpanned about it. Vulcan women are like, "I know you think I'm beautiful, and your appraisal of me is accurate; however, you must do more to earn coitus from me. I require a minimum of three dinner dates, two long walks on the beach, and for you to solve no less than 20 quadratic inequalities. Only then shall you obtain the coveted snu snu. Remember, you must show your work." 😅
At least a Vulcan knows her worth!
Oh, totally, T'Pol was my bisexual awakening. Smart, sassy AND can suplex a bear. What's not to love?
Except once every seven years. Then it's "Do you have a pulse? You'll do."
Hey, I'd appreciate the clarity.
Props to the writers and T'Lynn's voice actor, they get a lot of emotional range without breaking her Vulcan'ness. I love her paniced "oh shit I fucked up" voice
2:23 Is that a smirk I see? She is clearly out of control.
Not gonna lie, I was legit expecting/hoping we'd see T'Lynn and Tendi fuse and save the day.
Could you imagine if they Tuvixed Rutherford and Boimler
Think they be Bord?
@@xaviersaavedra7442 maybe Rutherformler 🤔😂
They wouldn't argue over their bonsai anymore.
@@secretsecret3528Ya both need to step up your portmanteau game.

@@popmannnSamward Boitherford?
A Voyager theme day would require one deserving asian ensign to not be promoted.
Poor Harry Kim.
Ouch.
🤣
The fusion dance would be more practical for these hijinks.
Anyone thing T'lyn's "water, room temperature" is like, her way of trying too hard? "Look at how stoic and logical i am. I am definitely not insecure about not being Vulcan enough, no sirree. I'm the token sane person in a ship of irrational non-vulcans."
Nah I could see humans defaulting the water to cold. Then Vulcans having to specify room temp bc it’s more logical to drink that way and therefore what they are used to. So from the character’s perspective it would an almost annoying part of being on the ship. But, from a writing perspective, yes lol. They are trying to make you feel the differences between humans and Vulcans in funny ways
I wonder what a Tendi & T’lyn Tuvix would come out like
I love that Tuvix is a verb 😆
tendies too good for this world
Billups is no longer a virgin. He knew T’ana on a cellular level.
So when does the Tuvix moral dilemma no longer become a moral dilemma?
When he started merging other crew members and needed to be stopped.
When all of them combine into a..and quote “non sentient blob of meat”
The entire dilemma depends of the fusion being sentien
When they threaten the crew
@@tokuelite5554okay… but when you mix sentient people together to CREATE that non-sentient ball of meat, you’re still effectively killing them.
“it would be wrong to kill somebody before we chop them up, so instead we have to… ‘turn them into a lifeless body…’ um… with magic. and then we can chop them up, no moral issues whatsoever!”
When he proclaims "peaceful coexistence".
I feel like "He's not my best work" is a little meta-dig at the writer deciding to combine these characters.
I don't know why but I love Tendi's exuberant
I would actually like to see what T’lynn and Tendi Tuvix would be like or even a Mariner and Boimler Tuvix! Would Boiriner be a highly efficient and kickass ensign or a worried unconfident slacker?
Mariner and Boimler fusion would be...interesting. You'd have all of Mariner's trauma and substance abuse and all of Boimler's anxiety.
I love that Tuvix is a verb now 😂
Was honestly surprised they chose this, given that it wasn't a very well received episode of Voyager.
So... if Tuvix tried to beam down with another crewmate from the Voyager, would he have also fused with them?
Definitely related to Lilith Sternan (Bebe Neuwirth) from Cheers and Frasier.
T'lyn really was the missing element to the lower decks crew. They are all so spastic so she plays the perfect straight man to all their antics. I laugh every time someone hugs her and she leeps her deadpan expression.
I want to fish pffft!!!
0:05 Kind of looks adorable , really
0:00 0:10 people when they realize they are furries
3:20
OMIGOSH WAT NO WAY!!!
1:55 Guess we all saw that coming, huh?
but the captain and shax knew they weren't going to kill them, there's no reason their hybrids should have been worried
1:09 they could of many an entire series out of this, many star fleets trying to fight against these hybrids, romulonas, Vulcans , etc all trying to fight against this new nation and junk, even the brig would be either with them or against them because there fusing or something idk
They could also get away with obsurd ships and technology. The combination of clothing implies that non living material could be tuvixed. What would be the result of an Oberth and a Klingon bird of prey? A heavily armed science ship that self destructs when a disrupter is fired within a sector of it?
Side note, I want Lower Decks to have the Pakleds try to form an alliance with the Borg, "You like ship pieces, we like ship pieces. We should be friends ." Their overall goals are not too different.
Love t'lyns sass when activating the transporter lmmfao
It is strange that I thought Dr Cpt Frigleeman was kinda hot?
Starfleet system are easily circumvented. That is concerning, isn't it?
Can you imagine if Tendi and T'Lyn had got Tuvixed T³
Would she be called T'Lyndi or D'Lyna
What Season and Episode is this? I think I missed an episode somehow.
3:02
Harry kim. Would have gotten a promotion.
This is a non sentient blob of meat just gets me laughing
Similar to SpongeBob where everyone merges into one thing and Bob is left as a personality and the rest are left as meatballs without conscience.
2:14 *BURN*
Uhh folks, I think you forgot to salute there, but sure.
Why is the bird hot...?
I still say they killed them every time they use a transporter
If you use that logic in theory they are all copies of beings that are copied. The Klingons, Vulcans, Romulans, humans and Q would only be judging copies. And Q being a powerful being why did he never realize that?
I'm suddenly craving a T'Lynn/Tendi sandwich cookie with Rutherford as the creme filling. 🖖🏿💯✊🏿
OT3, huh? I like the way you think. 😆
@Brasswatchman ✊🏿🖖🏿🤣
who was shax merged with?
The ensign that Rutherford dated in S1E1. Ensign Barns.
@@rakaydosdraj8405 ah, thank you.
GYATT
I want a fish
Tendi'Lyn, anyone?
Well we can always draw one
T'lyndi.
@@cnkclark Ooh, I like that one.
1:04. 😒........ He's not my best work
Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who.
That’s just messed up
Shabarnes, hello.
Why is Dr Frigleyman SO HOT PLS STOP
I agree with T’Lynn star fleet systems are easy to circumvent just planted a virus into the systems and star fleet is scrambling to figure out what happened haha.
Those Ass starships... best in the fleet.. 😂😂😂
I really don't like how they made the cheap way out of the plot and just made the hybrids "the baddies" who are allowed to kill. It would be far more exiting if they found an solution for the moral dilemma.
Would it, though? How do you make that into compelling television? No conflict means no story.
is it a moral dilemma. He is alive, but he has no true self. His thoughts, his dreams, his memories; all are just amalgamation of 2 people.
also because one is born does not ultimately mean one is entitled to life
It's a 22 minute show. They don't have time for extra.
isn't the worst show ever enough for you people??!?
"STOP HAVING FUN GUYS" *pubescent cracked voice screeching*
