No? Moving on then

"I'll take the case. I love a mystery."
In fact, the crew count has increased by one.
- Does one unkilling compensate a killing?
- Allowing Tuvix to live murdered Tuvok and Neelix. Which is only a loss of Tuvok, but murdering Tuvok isn't cool.
  
  Counterpoint - Tuvok and Neelix were lost in an industrial accident.
  Tragic, but this is Starfleet. Risk, as they say, is their business.
  
  What I've never understood is why it had to be one or the other (or why they had an issue with this particular murder); they have, and regularly use, a device that makes copies of people and things, and murders or destroys the original (it's been proven that the murder part is completely unnecessary, so they probably only do it to avoid paperwork and overpopulation).
  Why couldn't they just not murder the original Tuvix when they made the copies of Tuvok and Neelix? It makes no sense.
  Same with that episode where some guy wants to murder Data to learn how to make androids; why couldn't they just make a copy of the thing and murder that one, and keep their "original" one?
  Hell, why learn to make androids at all? Just make more copies of Data without murdering the original! The whole Starfleet could be crewed exclusively with Datas and Tuvixes, if they wanted!
  
  An accident is not the same as a murder. Tuvok and Neelix died in an accident. Tuvix was murdered.
  Edit: Sorry, didn't realize Lemming 421 has already made this point.
In my defense, they didn't read the "Don't Talk To Me Until I've Had My Coffee" on my mug before trying to speak to me.
Amazing choice of frames for both characters.
- Janeway is possessed right? Maybe by 7 of 9?
"Today?" works too.
Define "MuRdEr"
- The unjustified killing of another sentient being.
  (The answer being that they took the last cup of coffee and didn't put on a new pot. It was justified.)
  
  Or in case of Tuvix, they were icky
  
  With that definition, Janeway didn't murder Tuvix. She had justification, even if one believes Tuvix still had a right to live. Poor justification is still justification.
  
  then no
This had me chuckling uncontrollably for several minutes. This must be one of the funniest star trek memes out there
I saw this once before.
I fucking LOVE this meme.
Janeway is allowed a little bit of murder. As a treat.
Check that spot Suder hid the guy he killed.
There's coffee in that corpse
