In the Lord of the Rings fandom there’s a persistent debate whether balrogs, or Durin’s Bane specifically, have wings. The text in Fellowship is ambiguous whether what it is describing are literal wings or something else wing-like.

    Star Trek (Voyager): Was it murder to split Tuvix back into Tuvok and Neelix?

    I’ve got a long and complex possible solution to offer regarding this ethical clusterfuck, and I’m willing to elaborate if someone’s interested to hear it.

    Edit (possible solution): Voyager’s database should include the Enterprise D’s information regarding Riker’s duplication incident. While Voyager’s crew already found a way to separate Tuvix, they could’ve searched for a possibility to repeat that process and then split back the copy Tuvix a few milliseconds into the original Tuvok and Neelix before said copy became self-aware.

      they did it again LTD. anyways, janeway practically groomed 7 of 9, not in a sexual way but trying to mold her into a daughter she never had.

            She didn’t kidnap her, she rescued her from her actual kidnappers though.

            Like, it’s somewhat nuanced, but seven has been neurologically modified by a group that killed her parents and uses her as a weapon. I can’t really see the makeshift therapy that janeway performs to try to refamiliarize seven with humanity as grooming.
