I think its perfectly acceptable to hold Hugh responsible for the actions of the collective, but I don't think the issue is as simple as that. I think it comes down to whether or not genocide of a superior foe who will continue to attack you is the right action or not. On the one hand, you are exter...

Couldn't they just use their torpedoes for that strategy?

I'd take a Sonic Screwdriver. Because it would be unique and different. And down right useful in most circumstances. Sure its primary function isn't a weapon--but its been used as a weapon in the past, so I'd say it counts. Probably wouldn't be hard to fry your lightsaber crystal with it.

But in "Prey" Janeway defended the life of species 8472 even when doing so put her whole crew at risk. Maybe morally you can feel that sacrificing one alien life to save many others is ok--but at least you can agree that Janeway is a hypocrite . I can't see how she still retains the respec...

Meant to be? How was Tuvix any less meant to be than Tuvok or Neelix? Maybe Tuvok and Neelix came into existence more naturally, but I don't see how you can say he wasn't 'Meant to be'. How do you know Neelix's parents were trying for a child when they had him? Tom Riker was created due to a similar...

As has been mentioned before, Voyager needed every individual it could get, and therefore both from the perspective of both the crew in general and Tuvok and Nelix in particular, the needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few...or the one. But you do not commit an immoral action to get an ad...

I would have done what Janeway did. I can see where you are coming from saying that it didn't want to die but I also believe that it wasn't "Alive" in the way Nelix and Tuvok were. He expressed a wish to be alive. He clearly showed signs of being alive. What more do you want from him? It ...

They are saying end of Q1 2008 right now. But then, it was supposed to come out in 2006 way back when, so we probably won't see it until 2009.

Agreed. Anyone who expresses their wish to live, like Tuvix did, can not be considered 'not a person'. Also, wouldn't Neelix and Tuvox wanted Tuvix to live, if given the choice? Either one of them would have sacrificed themselves to save someone else. I don't see how this situation would have been a...

If you ask me, its a badly posed question. Do I agree with going into war with Iraq? Yes, at the time we had intelligence suggesting Iraq was a threat to national security. On top of that, Saddam was a ruthless dictator who needed to be ousted from power. Do I agree with the execution of the war in ...

Many moons ago there was this science fiction show called 'Star Trek'. Despite being planned for five years, the show didn't get enough popularity and the producers of the show cancelled it after the third year. The loyal fans, 'Trekkies', continued to support their show faithfully until a new versi...

How could there even be a mirror Voyager? Its my understanding that the Marquis do not exist in the Mirror universe. The DS9 Mirror Universe was so bad it nuked any chances of a Mirror Voyager. XD But yeah, a Mirror Voyager would be pretty cool. Kes would have remained on the ship, using her heighte...

That exactly the problem I see. Much of actual trek is very dull and monotonous work. Would they be able to keep it exciting yet keep the trek feeling? Will away missions simply be one of five different style missions that, after doing a couple, simply become boring repetitions? As for being on a sh...

I personally think it was a result of him becoming part of the senior staff... on his first mission... despite only being an ensign. It probably went straight to his head halted any possible development right from the start.

For those who do not know, Star-trek Online is an upcomming MMORPG (like World of Warcraft) set in a Trek environment. I am not sure whether or not to get excited about this game. Putting the life as a star-trek crew member into a online game like could be very good or very disappointing. The concep...
