Creeeepy episode. But:
* Michael McKean!!!
* The resolution is satisfying. No Deus ex Machina techno handwaving miracle.

#Tuvix is "alive" only because 2 other crewmen are trapped within him. He's basically a seamless collective, except the two people that make him are so seamlessly integrated they don't know to ask to be freed, and speak as one.
Imagine if the computer in #TheThaw, rather than torture its sleepers, had used their brains to form a new entity, to the point that the sleepers could no longer think.
Of course they should be freed!

This ending is one of the best. Simulated Janeway is so ruthless in telling fear he's about to die.

#Janeway: "Isn't there more to Fear than a simple demand to exist? Why do people enjoy dangerous sports, or holodeck adventures with the safety off? Why, after all these centuries, do children still ride on roller coasters?"
#TheDoctor: "Fear can provide pleasure. To seek fear is to seek the boundaries of one's sensory experience."
#Janeway: "But what does Fear seek... at the of the ride?"

#TheThaw is my favorite episode of Voyager. It's the perfect combination of TOS-era Zaniness and TNG-era Seriousness. I wish more Voyager episodes used this format. I also have a thing for Renaissance Faires, Circuses, Clowns, and the surreal which contributes to my overall enjoyment of the episode. Plus McKean's interactions with Picardo are just hilarious and the finale between McKean and Mulgrew is one of my favorite endings of a Star Trek episode.
#AllStarTrek I like how fast B'elanna was like, "Fuk this, I'm out. Later Harry!"

I just realized that #TheThaw & #Tuvix are back to back episodes. Janeway was on a killing spree!

I'm wracking my brain to remember another episode where a Star Fleet captain looks another being dead in the eyes and basically says, "You're dying, I'm going to let you, and you deserve it." No remorse, no comfort.
That's way more of a cold-blooded #Garak move that would show up on #StarTrekDS9 than the behavior I'd expect from #StarFleet (even a hologram), well with the exception of Lon Suder I guess.

My favorite Star Trek episode ending:
Clown: "What will become of us..of me?"
Janeway: "Like all fear, you eventually vanish."
Clown: "I'm afraid."
Janeway: "I know."
Clown: "Drat."
*fade to black*

And there's the line.
"You know as well as I do that fear only exists for one purpose. To be conquered."
Clown: *exasperated* "Well, you certainly know how to bring a party to a halt." Doctor: *deadpan* "I don't get out very much."

I'm in love with this episode. It's the type of episode that Star Trek needed more of: Character dramas in surreal situations. Michael McKean is a killer guest star as well. Between McKean and Dourif ("Meld" et al), Voyager Season 2 had some awesome guest star centered episodes. @allstartrek #AllStarTrek #StarTrekVoyager #TheThaw
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
And clowns.
This is so unlike other VOY episodes, but it's kind of genius.
This is theater on par with TOS!

Hi there!
Sorry but I won't be able to join tonight.
It's a little early but here is tonight's fun fact - related to VOY's "The Thaw". Not surprisingly, some of the background performers in this episode were members of the Cirque du Soleil circus.
Until next time ...
