    They did kind of just gloss over the fact Worf was still a Starfleet officer when he assassinated the head of the Klingon Empire.

      Maybe of there was a 8th season there would have been time, but they were running out at that point.

      He still did better than Sisko by not poisoning entire planets for personal vendetta, and Starfleet was fine with that.

      Also, Section 31 has apparently been around for 300 years at this point, so Roddenberry’s utopia arguably never existed.

      Worf has dual citizenship and is Klingon nobility, which comes with political duties. So long as he’s off the clock and the Empire doesn’t get upset about it, he gets a lot of leeway.

    I still don’t like Janeway, but yes, FUCK Worf. He’s a fuckin fascist petaQ. Remember when his hot girlfriend took him to a sex planet and he reacted by doing some right wing eco terrorism? Remember when he did a war crime and was only let off on a technicality? Worf is a stain on Starfleet AND Klingon honor.

      I took it as a bit, just something to talk about on the internets. You know, the captain that came to drink coffee & kill Tuvix, but quickly ran out of both so she committed some temporal crimes to take the edge off.

      Overall a great captain imho.

      She was an asshole to Jeri Ryan throughout the Seven of Nine half of the series. She took all her rage at the show’s reversal of ratings fortune out on an actress who was just doing her best.

    Nah, even if killing Tuvix somehow wouldn’t have been the need of the many (which it was), murdering it was still the right thing to do - even if it wouldn’t net out Tuvok, Neelix, and a flower.
    Idk why it took her all episode to do it.

        (I don’t actually have much of a personal opinion either way, it’s just that I usually see a lot of posts supporting Tuvix & I try to provide a vector for discussion & interaction. It’s just fiction, it’s fun debating, the available data is very limited, and the choice in the show a deliberately a though one.)

        Bcs I wanted the orchid back, it didn’t deserve to suffer other of personalities.
