Only watched that episode again yesterday, I did enjoy it. It was pretty cute that they both felt no shame for it naturally happening. But I feel they lost an opportunity to make something more happen as a consequence of travelling such speeds. Could have been a little cooler! :)

I've just watched Tuvix and it hurts to ignore how they produced two individuals with their memory intact and from DNA that surely is incomplete. I have to suspend my beliefs of course, it is a show I want to enjoy.

Though, I was very stoned and tired and probably missed someone's psuedo science star trek explanation.

It's been decades since I've seen it but wasn't the reconstruction done from the data in the transporter pattern buffer or something?

It was indeed that, I'm guessing the missing mass of both of them must have been stored in the buffer. :)

Really good acting for Tuvix, must have been hard to only have one season as reference for the actor to mimic and merge both their behaviours and personalities.
