Tuvix was 50% Neelix which qualifies him for the death penalty. The real travesty is that Neelix was allowed to exist afterwards. /s
Janeway made the right call, Tuvok and Neelix had their own lives and families and they could be saved. Tuvok was also a majorly important member of the crew and his skills could easily have been instrumental to their salvation.
Well, that's not an accent, that's vocabulary, and plenty of shows do it, often to bypass censors. See Farscape's frell, frack. It's done in video games too - for example, 2077 has a pretty rich vocab
I think people try to make prediction models all the time, but if it really worked I feel like it would become quite obvious when someone basically never misses.
If it's just a matter of running a simulation to see how far they diverge, I'm not sure what kind of insights you could gain from that. I think it would be a bit like running a weather simulation for years. Very soon after (likely a matter of days), unpredictable events would fork reality from the simulation, and they would only diverge further.
To answer the question, it might be possible to set up an imperfect, incomplete simulation.
Discovery lacked the DNA of other Star Trek in my opinion. Note that I did not finish the series so some of these things may have improved in the last season or 2.
It focused mainly around a few characters instead of fleshing out a great ensemble cast
The visual language of the show does not match Trek IMO. It's too dark, too much blue, it looks like a Michael Bay thing
The characters did not feel like professional officers. Excess PDA, emotional outbursts, cowboy lone hero nonsense, snark, overt arguments, constantly raised voices, etc. In previous Trek, raised emotions were exceedingly notable, and meant something really important was happening
The klingons
I didn't like many of the characters as people, including most of the main cast's characters
There were things I did like
Great premise with the spore drive
I liked some of the characters, like Stamets and Saru
Great SFX
I'm sure I'm forgetting things, it's been a while since I've thought about this show
Thank fucking god. It's exhausting being around people for whom any meme, any post, any comment, has to spin into how good communism is, how bad the libs are, how good China is, and how bad The West TM is. It is exhausting.
