(...to the Star Trek fandom. We'll get you eventually.)
I used to love Star Trek until I hit that Tuvix episode. That triggered some things in my personal background. I tried to get over it but I can't.
Maybe the lower decks parody will help? It might equally make it worse though, you might want to read or have someone else read a synopsis
Hahaha
It's half the reason everyone treats Janeway as a criminal. Like yeah overall she's a fantastic captain. But she did straight up murder tuvix! He begged for life!
If it's any help, that show is a hot mess. There are some absolute banger eps, I absolutely love most of the cast, but on average it's underwhelming.
The guy who made BSG ranted a bit about working on Voyager. Apparently they weren't allowed to change anything. Everything had to reset by the end of the episode. In a series about being stranded.
I'm mixed-race but it wasn't just seeing a mixed-race person sent to the death chamber. What really got to me was the way the character just wanted to get their work done but they were dragged away in a cold and bureaucratic way. They whimpered like a child being dragged from their parents. The kid was terrified but they still wanted to be obedient. It wasn't that they were hoping to be saved by obedience, it's that they were just an obedient kid, even when scared. The way when they begged to go on living, everyone else just stared and didn't even move or react. They never really cared for that person anyway, the character's kinda funny-looking anyways. If they made a fuss there might have been trouble. It's not like any of them is some kind of hero. The only one to object was that holographic doctor, who was always treated as a joke. Because only a crazy person or a clown would go against the group. I looked it up online and the situation is never referenced again in any series. It was not an issue to anyone. All those people, the whole organization, the whole perspective of the show, to me is repulsive.
But I was kind of a nervous kid, so I recognize it's just my point of view.
