 The Delta Flyers is a weekly Star Trek: Voyager rewatch and recap podcast hosted by Garrett Wang and Robert Duncan McNeill. Each week Garrett and Robert will rewatch an episode of Voyager starting at the very beginning. This week’s episode is Emanations. Garrett and Robbie recap and discuss the episode, and share their insight as series regulars.

Emanations:
Harry Kim is caught up in a subspace vacuole and transported to the homeworld of the Uhnori people. His presence there causes turmoil and, Kim soon realises that the only way he can return home is the same way he came - through the Uhnori's death station.

I did not notice the breathing mistake at all. Good spotting by Robbie. :D

Was not aware any of Voyager was filmed with 35mm. I thought it was all digital and that is why it cannot be remastered.

Dee McGee

Can we talk about Robbie's "Voyager snack"? 🍴

Jason Self

Poor Garrett and your scar. I hope everything is going well.

Rich Gross

Hey Garrett: FWIW, I had my thyroid removed almost 20 years ago, and that involved a much bigger incision in the front of my neck. It didn’t take too long for it to fade until it was hardly noticeable.

Rich Gross

As for the episode: I really like this episode. I’m totally with Robbie in being completely confused about the scene with Chakotay is telling everyone not to use tricorders, and yet he was just using one himself. It just seems like if he had learned anything from the story he later tells about the stone, then as soon as they beamed down he would have said something like, “Hold on, this looks like a burial ground. We need to be respectful and not disturb anything” and then go ahead with his concern about tricorders. I also really respect how Harry so diplomatically handled his conversations with the aliens, even when he had every reason to pretty freaked out himself. One other thing that got my attention here was that it seems to me that if I were in Robbie’s place in the previous episode, or Garrett’s in this one, I would have been feeling a lot of pressure. With it being so early in the series, a Star Trek series everyone knows will be intensely dissected and scrutinized (hey look, we’re still doing it!), I wonder what it felt like to be a relatively new actor carrying the weight of such a character-centric episode.

Stephanie Baker

I have always liked this episode for the conundrum that Harry finds himself in and how he handles himself. While re-watching, I really enjoyed Harry's come-back-to-life scene. I think it must've inspired John Snow. As a Native person, and not knowing Chakotay's people's customs, in my head canon: Chakotay orders respect for the dead based on his anthropological/archaeological interests and past experiences at burial sites. There are way too many Native peoples in the Americas with different customs such that I avoid generalization.

AJ Provance

Do you have any more cast interviews coming up?

Matt

Wow so glad the surgery went well Garrett! That's one of the benefits of podcasting, you can record ahead of time, take a break for a surgery, come back when you're feeling better, and the show just keeps going along like nothing ever happened. :)

Matt

Well now we need to know what Garrett's Voyager snack is too!

Matt

That was the best rewatch segment so far! Love seeing you both on the commentary as you rewatch it..LOL

Matt

I think that's one of the great things about Voyager and all of the older Trek series...you'll hear a Damn or Hell now and then but overall it was it. I can definitely appreciate that, even coming from someone who has a mouth like a sailor. :)

Mohamed Noor

Kudos to Robbie for asking good questions about the science, like the "space vacuole"!

Matt

Don't get jaded! Words to live by; Sometimes you gotta smell the roses, allow what you've experienced to resonate with you so you don't get jaded.

Matt

Nice addition Garrett, love the new addition of the Language Lesson..it's like having a universal translator right on the podcast!

Jeff Joyner

Loved this one guys! I was only 9 when the show started airing so going back to these 25 years later is quite a trip--I remember even less than Robbie hahaha. It's been great fun and looking forward to continuing on, and especially once we move into some of the later seasons that I do more solidly remember!

Matthew Gravens

Hah, look at these regular humans with their single set of nostrils. I bet they can't even smell Warp Particles either. Also if every time someone died and came back to life they earned a promotion, Harry would probably have been an Admiral before they got back to Earth.

Maxine Soloway

A smart person knows what they don't know

Andrea Clarke

Thoroughly enjoyed this one, really loving this podcast and definitely worth watching. We are re watching the episode at the same time as you do, we pause the podcast and watch, then continue. It is so much fun hearing you two analysing the episodes from a filmmaker standpoint too. I found that fascinating.

Leon Zhang

Garrett, what's with all the Canadian connections? Calgary, and the Blue Jays hat?

Andrea Mahoney Ross

Another great podcast! Thank you for all your hard work on it everyone. Star Trek has always had curse words only it was just the "lesser" ones like damn and hell and they were used liberally. I like the addition of actual cursing in Picard, it feels natural and not overdone to me and I enjoy the bit of colourful language added in. We've heard Klingon curses in the show for many years, they were some of my favourite to use! When Robbie started mentioning the fact that he was enjoying a snack when the Doctor started talking about the dead bodies and their emanations and got grossed out I had a good laugh. That's tame for the things that are discussed during meals in my house (growing up and now), it's good to be reminded that not everyone enjoys discussing anatomy, medicine and the calls we've done at work. The dead bodies breathing in shows is always good for an eye roll or a chuckle but the one that just drives my Dad and I nuts is how shows always shock asystole and show someone doing compressions and the monitor shows nothing happening.

Andrea Clarke

This is so true. I've read a genuine research paper on this and what Robbie says is exactly true!

Chloe E

I got a good laugh out of that too. If Robbie thinks the word 'excreting' is bad, then he should never sit down to a meal with medical professionals (although, his dog looked ready to help him with the lack of appetite). The shocking asystole gets me every time too! That's doing absolutely nothing, everyone. Also, another thing I feel like medical people notice (or at least I do), is actor's veins. First time I see an actor on screen the first thing I think 'Man, they've got good veins. I could definitely hit that.'

Andrea Mahoney Ross

I’m a paramedic and we usually notice good veins too! 😂

Renee M

I’ve always wanted to learn Russian - thanks, Garrett!

Damn it, Jim: A brief history of swearing on Star Trek: https://www.avclub.com/damn-it-jim-a-brief-history-of-swearing-on-star-trek-1819617254 Obviously, Voyager couldn't swear because it was on network TV and the new shows aren't. I have mixed feelings about it myself. I know words only have the meaning we give them but I grew up watching TNG with my Dad and I wish I could watch new Star Trek with my Daughter when she's old enough for TV but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that with he newer Treks so far. Maybe creatives will realized the family potential for at least one new series. For now, I just look forward to watching those network versions with her, even if it hasn't all aged well.

Bree Boehlke

I have been trying to watch the Voyager episode before pulling up the podcast each week. Really enjoying this - especially while dealing with this pandemic. Keep up the awesome content! -Bree

Ashley Risk

They are all great my great nephews aged 6-9 watch them all the time. Voyager and Enterprise have lasted well that test of time.

Mihaela Grasley

Hello! What an interesting podcast episode, not only because of the unknown (to me) details of filming, directing or acting (in) this episode, but also because of the very pertinent comments that both of you, Garett and Robbie, had in this over an hour review of “Emanations”. It was real pleasure and, again, very interesting to hear your point of views on the fundamental life (and death) aspects described by this episode (Emanations). Truly, it was a real pleasure to listen to both of you, despite the fact that this episode was is not a comfortable one to watch, not for me at least! Also, Garett, I believe your surgery, or at least the anticipation of the surgery, was not at all easy, and I just want to congratulate you for your courage to go through it anyway and for your bravery to look at it now as a past event in your life! I wish you all the best!

Ellie ^-^

Can I suggest Korean for a future Language Lesson; be cool to hear since it was never explored on the show maybe?

Justin Rhoads

After all these years I am finally glad I wasn't the only one to notice Janeways eye movements! And later on she does say damn a few times!

Meysmans Jean

Robert Duncan McNeil, i think you are on every episode of the show ;)

Craig Drebit

Props for the Blue Jays love!

John Marlowe

I'm re-watching TNG now too, and Picard says "merde" in one of the early episodes! And merde was a word taught to me by my first date with a French girl in high school.

Utopia Science Fiction

I don't know about new elements on Mars, but they're discovering new states of matter on the International Space Station, which is also cool. This was a great recap, and thanks for adding the language bit at the end! That was fun.

Justin Rhoads

You know it wasn't until I listened to this that I suddenly became so bothered by the double nostrils as well when I re-watched it. Ha.

Kris Hansen

How many languages does Garrett know and why/when did he learn them?

Chris Flores

Can I get Seven's #? I'm having surgery soon.

GeekFilter

I took an improv class with Keiko last year! She is super talented!

Sony

10:50 I made the mistake of taking a big sip of Perrier right before Garrett Wang said "..And you keep your double set of nostrils away from me, madam!" I had to run to the sink suppressing the laugh.

Chris Knapp

There's nothing quite like the sensation of carbonated water shooting up one's nose.

Sony

Imagine if it happened with 4 nostrils instead of 2.

Holly Jay

Again another great podcast. Glad to hear that your surgery went well Garret and you are back on your feet.

Scott Friend

Awesome episode guys, great work! I love all the on-point discussions.

The Irish Buddhist

A bit behind on watching the 'Flyers' episodes, wanted to say that I was very happy to hear your surgery went well Garret. And I agree Robbie that I recall getting nearly the same impression from parts of this episode when I saw it years back of this race of Alien seeming to want to rid the weakest of their people through Emanation. After seeing a few more times in more recent years, I definitely see other aspects that I didn't catch the first time around. Janeway seems to take Harry under her wing more and more as the episodes progress, protective mother like instinct and seeing he's not that green ensign from Caretaker, but someone who has great potential.

Abby

I was confused by all of the hands on Harry at the end. Was Janeway afraid Harry was going to sit up and try to leave? Who touches their naked coworker on the med bed? It was a pretty solid handle, not just a reassuring pat.

K

Dammit, I accidentally my own comment. Anyway. Late to this, but enjoying it a lot!!. I also found the idea of the persistence of a person’s appearance post-death to be interesting, if not somewhat strange! Glad Garret’s surgery went well. Just want to note there’s a point where the guys are juxtaposing Native American and First Nations cultures with modern culture- in a way that might imply there aren’t any native Americans anymore, etc. Maybe I missed a qualifier in there though (modern Western European culture, maybe). (Also, as a Mars spacecrafter, can confirm no new-to-us elements yet identified there.)

Roy Spaan

The "lets not disturb the dead" thing always bugged me as well. But more for the level of scanning. How invasive can a tricorder scan be anyway? Let alone one that's set to passive. I actually peeked at the episode just now, to see what beam-out poses Robert was talking about, and aside from noticing Chakotay indeed has his tricorder just active while making the point to Janeway they shouldn't do that, the just keep walking around in there anyway! Doing a passive scan of an alien body is taboo, but walking around in the gravesite isn't? Not to mention getting their death-spiderweb-sweat on your boots and in your hair? I totally get the sentiment, but it was stretched beyond a reasonable level.

Roy Spaan

On the sort of closing words, I also liked that Janeway advised Harry to take a break. For several years now, when watching Star Trek, I notice the opposite. Crewmembers coming into sickbay are always able to get back to duty in 24 hours or less, and get ZERO time to mentally deal with injuries. The latest example I saw is when Data's 'daughter' 'died'. Picard gives a speech about how the crew is saddened by Data's loss, but immediately after that he tells him to take his station. I know he's an android, but the guy just lost his daughter (and got out of hours of surgery) He doesn't get a break? I realise Data isn't the best example, but I see biological crewmembers get the same treatment ALL the time. From broken legs to actually dying (and coming back) being imprisoned, assaulted, tortured. Whenever the doctor is asked by the CO, it's always about when their physical condition is restored enough to return to duty. Not even to be discharged from sickbay, but actually being able to work again. That's a horrible practice. I can only assume some people actually get time to recuperate off-screen, but this is almost never explicitly stated, let alone encouraged by their CO's. (I assume I don't have to explain that from a production view, I know it's done to move the story along again and get back to status quo before the credits roll)

Megan Moore

I think the problem would be not knowing that alien culture. Perhaps they would find the scanning of a tricorder as invasive. They don't know and that is why it makes sense not to use it.

Katrina Usita

Omgggg I love Gilmore Girls and Keiko

Tacy Muzzy

The eyes in the coffin scene Garrett and Robbie were talking about TOTALLY reminds me of the scene in It's A Wonderful Life when Jimmy Stewart realizes he's not in Kansas anymore! Good eye work, Garrett!!!

Eric Leitman

This episode had religious themes to it but a perfect example of why the Prime Directive exists.

Christina

The double nostril thing has never bothered me. Guess I’m just used to different alien species’ appearances. What I like about this episode is the what’s beyond physical death question.

Rachelle H

In DS9 they did a religious episode and were so hateful towards the believers, they made it like the believers were evil. So I definitely took it that the writer hated Christians and their beliefs, To believe in a Creator who loved us so much that He died for us, and they just mocked it so cruely bc not everyone who claims to be a Christian is an extremists cult, but the way this episode was done it still sort of mocked beliefs but not so bad, they definitely did better with religion compared to DS9

Jeremiah Franz

So this is where the language lesson starts
