What was bizzare and poorly thought out in Elogium is that if the species can only have a single child at one point in their lives, the species would become extinct after not so many generations.

[jpwphoenix]

They sort of retconned Braxton in the episode “Relativity”, where it’s revealed that he did indeed retain memory of the events on Earth. He went through intense therapy but then later went crazy and tried to destroy Voyager again.

[oddish]

You could make an entire top ten WTF list from events in "Threshold" alone.
Neelix helps design the Warp 10 shuttle.
Tom goes Warp 10.
Tom dies.
Tom comes back.
Tom pulls out his tongue.
Tom kidnaps Janeway.
The Doctor's explanation of what happened to Tom.
Tom and Janeway are now salamanders.
BABY salamanders.
Tom and Janeway get turned back like nothing happened.

Course Oblivion was a bigger WTF moment than most of these. We learn that the ship and crew we are following are all duplicates and they all die without getting to share their existence with anyone. There was also that moment in "Distant Origin" when Voyager was transported inside a massive Dinosaur ship. And let's not forget Janeway meeting "the devil" in "Coda". Those were some of the biggest jaw dropping moments in VOY.

[GSBarlev]

Hot take: "Threshold" is good, actually. Well, maybe not _good_ but certainly not bad. The salamanders were actually pretty cute, and everything leading up to the flight was really well done (I love that Neelix solved the final piece).

As for the "evolution" thing—yeah, at best they're portraying Lamarckism, but _Star Trek_ has committed that gaffe at least three other times (off the top of my head).

[peppergrowmienola]

Always thought they could have made a copy of Tuvix in the buffer and brought back Neelix and Tuvok as well as allowed Tuvix to live as an individual. The actor that played the part of Tuvix did an excellent job representing that character.

[foxtango]

Blink of an Eye is one of my faverates.

[QuintusAntonious]

"Blink of an Eye" was my favorite episode of Star Trek Voyager. It was the first episode I ever saw as a kid and got me back into Star Trek. My father had watched TNG with me when I was a baby, but I didn't rediscover Trek until the Voyager era.

[Frenchiesfiberfiles]

the plan was always for the away team to be assimilated, Chakotay saying "so far so good" at the end of part 1 after being told their lifesigns were fluctuating

[bthsr]

"It was Voy. Things got freaky."

[TitanicTruths]

I maintain Janeway did NOT murder Tuvix. While the Neelix half begged for mercy and to live. The Tuvok side knew that the needs of many outweighed the needs of the few or the one. And so Tuvok approved of Janeway turning them back as they could not juggle two very different jobs on board as one being. And having no ability to gain more crew. The divide was necessary

[twocvbloke]

There's also the episode where the ship ends up caught up in that distortion thing and people are walking around seemingly moving deck to deck without leaving the corridor they were in because the ship was supposedly all twisted and contorted, but, yeah, everything looked perfectly straight and in line internally, of course... :P

[lovipoekimo]

There should be multiple parts of this. So many WTf moments from that show. Chakotay's spirit possessing people to fight Tuvok, the "Twisted" episode, Shattered, the Doctor uploading himself onto 7of9 and used her body to seduce an alien woman, Lon Suder's entire arc, that Vidiian who stole a Starfleet officer's face so that B'ellana's Klingon half would like him, B'ellana's travel to Sto'vo'kor, the Doctor's holographic daughter dying, Seska raping Chakotay to get pregnant, Kim dying multiple times, Tom Paris gets sexual with a shuttle. The list is STACKED!

[roymillard]

My favorite...the red pickup truck found floating in space. Paris got it started? The ultimate "Die Hard" battery commercial.

[janistransbian]

tuvix was not murdered. tuvix was 2 people fused together. tuvix was never a full whole person. janeway saved tuvok and neelix.

[robstein]

I would’ve put the death of the original Harry Kim and how his duplicate joined the crew for the rest of the series.

[halbeliebe]

What about the Clown from "The Thaw"????

[jacara]

Tuvok would understand the reason for being separated from Nelix afteral it was Spock that said "The needs of the many out weight the needs of the few, or the one"

[Alteringrealitystudios]

I was a hardcore Kirk fan since the 80s. But Mama Bear Janeway yeah she's my favorite now. Or a close second to James Tiberius. Cisco is in a class by himself.

[tiagopatricio]

Janeway was right about Tuvix, you cannot sacrifice 2 people to save just one, morally Janeway did the right thing on killing one person to save two...
