    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.
