      The uh, subspace distortion would be too large, leading to a, hmm, an inversion of the polarity of the uh, bio molecular engram fields of the crew.

      Yes, that will do.

      I haven’t seen it in a while, but I don’t think they had a way of “steering” at warp 10.

        Yes and no, you’d be moving so fast the computer couldn’t do anything you’d simply be one place and then another crossing every point in-between.

        It’s theorized that q is the reason for the weird lizard bullshitery and it was to prevent anyone leaving the galaxy at warp 10 and reemerge outside of q control and well into the territory q’s do not control and likely fear.

      The important thing about Voyager is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I needed to recalibrate the holodeck’s stablization matrix. Well, I glued on fake sideburns to my face, as was the style at the time, so that I could go to deck 34, which in those days was called 33b. Where was I? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had glued on fake sideburns to my face, as was the style at the time.

    I maintain a smallish list of alternate titles for certain episodes.

    This is the one I use for Threshold.

    Only watched that episode again yesterday, I did enjoy it. It was pretty cute that they both felt no shame for it naturally happening. But I feel they lost an opportunity to make something more happen as a consequence of travelling such speeds. Could have been a little cooler! :)

    I’ve just watched Tuvix and it hurts to ignore how they produced two individuals with their memory intact and from DNA that surely is incomplete. I have to suspend my beliefs of course, it is a show I want to enjoy.

    Though, I was very stoned and tired and probably missed someone’s psuedo science star trek explanation.

      It’s been decades since I’ve seen it but wasn’t the reconstruction done from the data in the transporter pattern buffer or something?

        It was indeed that, I’m guessing the missing mass of both of them must have been stored in the buffer. :)

        Really good acting for Tuvix, must have been hard to only have one season as reference for the actor to mimic and merge both their behaviours and personalities.
