I can’t think of a single VOY episode with mind-melds that didn’t have a character treating it as a super taboo or dangerous telepathic ability.

    Mind melds are overused and treated too lightly and simply by modern trek. I actually like Voyager’s take on it.

      i haven’t watched modern trek because blehhhh, but i presume it’s just used as a deus ex machina? “ah crap we don’t have a sensible solution to this situation, let’s just have them mind meld to get the information”, shit like that?

        I do t really remember the details. I just remember rolling my eyes and thinking “Not this shit again.”
