Topic	What was that episode in Star Trek(?) where they defuse a crew member
Maze_ 04/19/24 5:41:34 AM #20:	Hejiru posted... The fact that were still arguing about it 30 years later proves that the writers did a good job coming up with a moral dilemma that had no right answer. Not to mention that usually when Star Trek has a dilemma like this, the last part of the episode introduces some deus ex machine that lets them have their cake and eat it too. I actually like that this time they had the captain actually have to make the tough choice and stick with it. To be fair, we're not arguing over the dilemma We're arguing over the weak writing of Voyager that it never came up again and wasn't refected in Janeways inconsistent character. She broke the Prime directive and stranded hundreds of people in the Delta Quadrant just to save random aliens because she's so virtuous. But then murdered someone because doing so increased their chances of getting home after beng stranded for being so virtuous. Picard would be willing to go to war to save 1 dude even if he didn't like them. --- When the going gets tough, the tough go have a little cry in the corner.
