    honest lore question:

    couldn’t they have fixed it both ways?

    Restore the originals from the pattern buffer and leave the new guy?

    I played the demo when it came out. You got the option near the start of the game to either destroy the caretakers array or just use it to go home. I tried the latter, but I failed the check. Not sure if that’s guaranteed or if you can really get Voyager back home in a few hours of leaving.

    Don’t do the separation

    Tuvix is sentient and intelligent, better than either, and killing him is murder.

    Is it okay to murder an innocent person if it makes you feel nice? No.

    Don’t kill Tuvix.

    Why didn’t they do another malfunction first to duplicate tuvix, and then separate one of them? Or wait for the mirror universe episode, and then split that tuvix? Like really guys

      I have a theory about this. Riker’s transporter clone was discovered 3 years before Voyager disembarked. Thomas Riker was posted on a ship, so he wasn’t exactly kept a secret. Janeway was an ex science officer, she would TOTALLY have known about Riker’s clone.

      She 100% could have suggested attempting to replicate the accident that created Riker but didn’t, why?

      Theory:

      1. Thomas Riker wasn’t a clone, he was ripped out of the mirror universe by the transporter accident. Star fleet figured this out after he was arrested as a member of the Maqui, then fixed the transporters to prevent that from happening ever again, telling everyone they fixed the “dual confinement beam bug”.

      2. Tuvix really skeezed her out.
