And a TON of these are just something an asshole would say.

"Hey, you want some of these fries?"
"FUCK YOU CARBO LOADER"
"What the hell? I just have a lot of fries"
"HAVE A NICE HEART ATTACK, GREASY ARTERIES"
"What's your problem?"
"I LIKE NOT HAVING A STROKE AND LEAVING MY CHILDREN ORPHANS, FATTY"

"Dan want a cigarette"
"Nah"
"OK"

I never really got this approach. If a friend of yours is offering drugs to you, they're doing it to be nice and share with you, after all. That stuff costs money. I turned down cigarettes plenty in high school and it was no skin off the nose of many of my friends; cigarettes cost money after all.

Ah, poor Tuvix. I still kinda feel that Chakotay should have arrested and court-martialed Janeway. Don't write the end of the story that way if you're not going to see it out; her forcing him to have a medical procedure like this was reprehensible IMO.

I'm guessing none of the writers proposed "how about Picard just murders all of them and nobody blinks an eye and then BOOM roll credits and nobody ever talks about this again"

He should have opened the cargo bay door and expelled them all into space
