Here is a thread for people to post about some of their favourite Star Trek moments, from any particuler series.
I've been a fan of star trek since i started watching "the Next Generation" when i was in probably my early teens. I continued to be a faithful watcher throught the series, and unto "Deep Space 9" which IMO, was the best of the series.
I never really got into voyager. It wasn't a bad series, but i felt it was a step down from DS9. However, i did catch several episodes, and one in particuler burned itself into my mind.
In this episode(i missed the first 10 minutes) Nelix and Tuvok are merged together by a transporter accident. This creates a new person (i can't remember if his name was Nevok or Tulix but it was something like that) who begins to befriend the members of the crew, having memories of both charactors. Ultimately, it is discovered that Tulix can be seperated back into Tuvok and Nelix by injecting him with isotopes, and then using a transporter to split them appart. The only problem though is that Tulix doesn't want to die. Ultimately, Janeway must make a decision and decides to inject Tulix with the isotopes against his will.
The actor who would play Tulix would be the same actor who played Tuvok. For me, this was interesting, as it gave the actor a chance to play something different then a rigged, emotionless Vulcan. Frankly, after watching this series, i strongly felt this actor was miscast, as i thought he did an exceptional job given a chance to flex his acting muscles.
Here is a clip of the particuler scene that really stands out as one of Star Treks greats.
