/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

One of my absolute favorites of all time is S5E18 [I think] of Voyager where the Doctor has to make a Sophie's choice and has a logic breakdown every time he tries to rationalize his decision and how his only course is to just push through to the next issue and not dwell on the past.
They loved their ethical dilemmas.
In my opinion, such information should be brutally opposed in the "planning to do bad thing for science" stages, but once the deed is done, the perpetrators are dealt with, and the information is just sitting there, destroying the information at that point feels wrong.
The people who were harmed or died should never have been in that situation in the first place, but personally if it were me, I would rather the information be used to help whoever it can, and the person who tortured or killed me to obtain the information is disrupted. slowly.
Torres is within her rights to not want the treatment.
Doctor is within his rights to use the information he himself ethically obtained, since he had no knowledge of the crimes of a cardassian.
Captain is within her rights to order the life of her crew be saved.
Torres is still right to be extremely pissed at everyone involved for going against her wishes.
Stand amongst the ashes of a trillion dead if honor matters.
The silence is your answer
Get out of here Javik, you’re drunk
You would be too if burp your whole galaxy spanning civilization were burned to the ground around you, and several million soldiers under your charge were slaughtered!
If you need me, I'll be at Afterlife on Omega. Your synthehol is too weak.
I should go.
nods Shepard.
Wrex.
I think you're thinking of a different episode, but that's also a good one.
I thought OP was talking about the one where the Doctor saved Ensign Kim and not the woman, though both were equally wounded and had an equal chance of surviving - he had to pick one, he picked Kim, and couldn't stand the guilt of the decision. They tried to delete the memory, but that failed, so he spent weeks working through it.
Possibly, I was basing off the stated episode number and it is an ethical and moral dilemma, but as stated, they loved ethical dilemmas in the original shows.
Honestly it's been long enough since I've gotten to s5 of Voyager I'm fuzzy on things, but I vaguely remember that episode?
Edit: I looked it up and was definitely thinking of episode 8 op was talking about episode 11, maybe? The doctor figures out he operated on Kim but doesn't remember why or when.
Yep, those are the two I was thinking of. Nothing Human and Latent Image (I had to look up those titles).
That is definitely one of those "I'm not crying, you're crying!" episodes.
