One of the things that I find missing in these reviews is praise for Kate Mulgrew's performance as Janeway --- the end you can see it all over her face, "I've committed murder."
It's her command decision to make and she takes on the moral dilemma of it so sparing the crew the responsibility of it, she does it because she loves her crew.
It seems to me that this decision would be the toughest one of her career and you can see she's killed a part of herself in order to achieve it.
Tom Wright as Tuvix is also superb, of course, and Jennifer Lien as Kes is brilliant as usual.
5/5, an astonishing episode.
