Tuvix's death makes the entire series A+. If Janeway had a choice between keeping Tuvix alive and getting home immediately, or killing Tuvix and having to slog through the entire Delta quadrant, then clearly the latter is the superior choice.
Nobody is required to like any new Trek shows. People have been discussing it already, and many dislike it. I don't really care if you like it or not.
The problem is a drive-by comment definitively stating it in this way, on a meme that has nothing really to do with Academy at all, reeks of toxicity. It's what plagues EVERY Discovery post here, and almost everywhere else on the internet. It's not productive, and discourages any post about those shows. Notice how there are virtually zero posts about Discovery or Picard here, and most elsewhere. The few times they come up, they are filled with flamewars and fighting and always turns toxic and unenjoyable.
It is a reflection of the general state of trek culture that it keep appearing everywhere. It is so important to the community in general that we can't help but bring it up when we're triggered by the sight of one of the characters in the show. I can't even enjoy Picardo because he's a reminder of the disappointment and pain this current show brings me. Is that not fair to express here? Posts don't exist for your enjoyment and if the current sentiment on trek is divisive then that's the state of our community and that's what going to fill discussions.

9/10 emh's say a glass of wine before a glass of wine is good for your health.

I drink two wines before I drink two wines, and then I drink two more

The 10th was recently featured on Joe Rogan's podcast. Dude is a real dick.

Is he as nice in real life as his face makes him look?

Please state the nature of this wine’s bouquet.

Earthy, peaty… and I detect hints of lilac.

Sort of an oaky afterbirth

Easily the best part of Voyager. Beyond Tuvix.

I heard half of Janeway's temporal violations were her going back just to kill Tuvix all over again.

Yeah but then neelix came back. If I was in an airlock with neelix serving food on the other side, I'd vent myself into space.

I'd be fine with anything he served as long as it didn't contain any leeola root. 🤷♂️

When did the Doctor add a sommelier subroutine?
negativenull@piefed.world · 9 pts · 213d
Might have been a prerequisite for the Opera subroutine

Nah it comes by default with the snobbery routine
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 213d
After he added the cab driving routines.

Patrick Stewart looks kinda different in this pic. Like some kind of hologram maybe. 🤔

Starfleet Academy suuuucks

What is the purpose of a comment like this in a trek fan community?
minorkeys@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 211d
I'm a trek fan who is hurt by the latest show? Is this trek community not a place to share our experience of trek? Or is it cheerleading only here?

Too bad you didn't put this much thought and effort into your first post in this thread.
minorkeys@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 205d
Why?

You're not wrong, but Robert Picardo still is a well-respected actor and I hope he got compensated well for starring in that show.
homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 211d
He’s delightful every time he’s onscreen.
