When a main Star Trek character (crew member) does something morally wrong.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^Yeah, that's going to be hard to top. It's pretty reprehensible.

Of course "The Enemy Within" comes to mind. "Evil" Kirk attempts to rape Janice Rand. It's a really uncomfortable scene to watch. It would be even harder to swallow if Shatner wasn't so over-the-top hammy as the bad Kirk.

Geordi having a love affair with that holographic version of an engineer he found attractive was kind of skeevy. It kind of surprised me they went there with that character.

The worst one that comes to mind is Captain Janeway from the Voyager episode "Tuvix"

It's one of the best Trek episodes of any series IMO. Tuvok and Neelix are killed and fused into a new being during a transporter accident. The new being...Tuvix, is neither one of them. He is a completely independent individual with his own consciousness and personality. Months later a way is found to reverse the accident, but there's just one problem...Tuvix doesn't want to die. He will cease to exist. Janeway orders him to go through the process and when he refuses he is chased down and forced to do it.

This was wrong on so many levels...the deaths of Tuvok and Neelix were accidental. But to intentionally kill Tuvix in order to bring them back was just unbelievably immoral. He literally begs for his life and is ignored.

When a main Star Trek character (crew member) does something morally wrong.

Please name one of the main crew of any Star Trek TV Series that has done something morally wrong, list who & what they did and what you think about it.

What can be included are those under the influence of drugs, alien contact, electronic games, Orion Slave Girls, mind control, technology mishaps, bad judgement etc.

Also, and perhaps especially those characters that you think were wrong in an action or choice, who were functioning with a clear mind and train of thought that was not interfered with during the decision making process. A sound body as well.

And, we can still discuss any character who does something unacceptable in Federation society, who has a physical or mental illness,wound or disability.

I'd like to read what you come up with,

Thanks!
