gnawing on the end of voyager 1x09 prime factors like its a new flavoured chewbone tossed into my enclosure and i’ve been starved for 3 weeks
#context: the aliens they meet in this episode have a space-folding technology that could potentially get voyager home. or at least halfway#the aliens have a law similar to the prime directive that says they cant give away this technology#they get offered this technology from some other members of the alien race on the dl as a trade#and janeway is morally conflicted since accepting that trade would violate her principles#SO. THE PART THATS MAKING ME INSANE#is tuvok (who she was working through the moral dilemma with) decides to GO BEHIND HER BACK and accept this trade#the technology doesnt end up working#but anyway he accepts responsibility. and when janeway asks why he did it#his reasoning is that someone had to spare janeway the ethical dilemma. and the logical choice for that someone is him#and she is like. u can tell she’s SO conflicted about how to feel#like she’s deeply touched she’s furious she’s feeling betrayed and appreciative in one#& i think she’s also very shaken by the fact that like … tuvok is HER moral compass her steady right hand#so this upsets the very foundation of what she believes their relationship to be … & the person she believes tuvok himself to be#idk why this is all in the tags it SHOULD be the post sorry i just love tags teehee#anyway i feel like a wild animal. i love them and their dynamic#they are both constantly trying to protect each other and bear each other’s burdens and muddle through … sigh i love them sm#voy rewatch
