The episode "Star Trek: Voyager" "Tuvix" (6.05.1996) was, for many years, ridiculed as one of the worst episodes in the series. The premise is exciting: the transporter malfunction accidentally combines the strict, logical Tukov (Tim Rus) with Lyoli Hobbit Nelix (Ethan Philips) to form Tuvix (Tom Wright), a being divides the individuals of both. Before that there were very fantastic, nonsense, and even stupid Star Trek stories, but it seemed that this was going a step further. He felt like a fully realized TV production of a lounge doodle that he could do on the sidelines of their notebook during the history of 10th grade -or, at least, a question that could be asked by the giant bong. Tukov and Nelix are opposite. What if they were the same man? Cosmic.

But years later, after Voyager was out of the air, new issues for Tuvix began to arise, exploring the true meaning of the episode. The character of the Tuvix, you see, found that he liked the composite being and began to develop memories and experiences all of his. As for Tuvix, Tukov and Nelix were dead, unhappy "parents" who died in "delivery". Captain Ewenevay (Kate Mulgru) has faced a brand new member of her team.

But she also faced a moral quander. While Tuvix was a conscious being with its agency, Ewenevey also demanded that both Tukov and Nelix of her team of USS Voyager function the way she wanted. She and Voyager engineers eventually discovered a way to separate Tukov and Nelix and bring them back to life. To do this, however, it will have to eliminate Tuvix, to perform it effectively.

Janeway performed it. Tukov and Nelix were restored. To this day -today, fans are opposed to her decision. Recently in 2020, Mulgru solved the problem of her accounts on social networks.

Recall that creating new conscious creatures is by accident on Star Trek. On "Star Trek: Next Generation", the crew accidentally created a fully conscious holographic version of Professor Moriarti from Sherlock Holmes stories. They also accidentally gave life to robots called Exokom, accidentally cloning William Reeker (Athonnotan Freyes), and even discovered that a network of alien nodes gave the company itself rudimentary consciousness. However, in all these cases, Starflit's officers were careful to respect and explore the new lives they created, trying to emphasize their rights as living things.

Janeway did not give Tuvix the same attention. When she discovered that she could bring her old friends back to life, she ordered Tuvix to the transporter's substrate, an act he knew she would kill him. It was wrong. Janeway was wrong. Indeed, Tuvix was screaming at Eweneva, pointing out that pursuing it was a wicked act. He begged for his life. Janeway, however, ordered him to be executed. It was one of several times When Janeway flexed its authoritarian impulses to perform unethical acts.

I'm not alone in this view. As covered by the web site Daily News for Star WalksWriter Manu Saadia (author of "Trekonomics: Star Trek's economy". Keep in mind, this was from an episode of SCI-Fi TV which was 24 years old. He wrote: "We have to talk about justice for Tuvix, I understand that it is a very low question, but it is important as it raises the delicate and dare to say, eminently * political * question of whether they end to justify it."

Surprisingly, not only did Ocasio-Kortez react, but Mulgru got involved.

As predicted, Ocasio-Kortez did not see Tuvix, but she paused to notice that it could be discussed. As Kate Mulgray was also on the same thread on Twitter, and she climbed to defend Eweneva's decision, writing:

"Ready to hear the crew's thoughts, as always. However, they should not make Tukov and Nellix?

As for Tuvix, Tukov and Nelix were dead. The fact that they could be restored was intangible for Tuvix ... and for many viewers. Ocasio-Kortez may not have been familiar with the episode, but she was well acquainted in "Star Trek: Voyager" at least to respond to Mulgray, writing:

"One thing I have learned to see how Janeway is growing is how leadership means being responsible for working through dilemmas without clear answers. All easy decisions are made before getting to the top. JANEWAY leads with a focus on her mission: to get her team at home. Thanks, Kate!"

It would be interesting to hear what Okasio-Kortez thought about "Tuvix" as soon as she watched. Regardless, this remains a problem with hot buttons for trekkies, because many-not just Saadia and I-oppose Ewenevay's decision. Tuvix was supposed to live. "Star Trek" respected life, but that respect was rejected in this episode. Then, again, others feel the way he did Mulgray, feeling that Tuvix should have died. Forever will remain controversial.
