Reference or Ripoff: "You and I Bee-come One"

"Tuvix"


A strange transporter accident merges Neelix and Tuvok.

"You and I Bee-come One"


Tails merges with a BeeBot when experimenting with transportation.

Conclusion: Mostly Rip-off

The idea of a transporter being the cause really cements this. Star Trek's Borg are also referenced through Tails ("Join the Hive").

Apparently the main rip-off, though, is of the horror film "The Fly." The episode apparently has many similarities.
