TIER RATE Star Trek VOY S1E9 - Emanations

Open to ALL Patrons

Comments

Phenomenon (Doo - Dooo - Dah - Doo - Doo)

I may be in the minority here, but I am *NOT* a fan of this episode. Everything about this episode ticks me off. It's not E tier by any means, but it will never rise above a D for me

Like plenty of others in the Patron Takes, I love when Trek dares to take on religion and leave things uncertain. Is the energy in the rings an afterlife? Is it a horrible hellscape where the souls of the dead are tortured over the lack of physical form? Is it just energy and has no thoughts at all? I'm not religious at all, and generally think that religion does more harm than good, but I also think it's important to acknowledge that people have beliefs and, provided they are respectful in those beliefs, to accept that it is not our automatic "right" to tell them they're wrong. Leaving the door open presents a wonderful opportunity for Trek to comment on that situation. Regardless of whether the human concept of a "god" is real or not, the possibility exists that there is a situation out there that we don't understand, and that to a different society could be taken as an afterlife. It's a great way to use science fiction to allow us to look at ourselves. It's not the best episode of Voyager, but it's a good, solid episode that does great work with the characters.

Didn't handle the potential philosophical questions well, was boring, focused on Harry, all negatives for me. Fully D episode.

Siva

I liked this one. Very memorable planet full of mummies! Nice Kim episode. Thumbs up for me. A or B tier.

Jeff Seely

It's A-tier for me. There aren't many Star Trek episodes that explore death, the rituals surrounding death, and what it all means to different cultures. I really like the way this episode approached everything.

jon bolton

Not a personal favourite, it's one i usually skip. Sorry only D.

Jack Mingle

Easy A tier, it is hard to explain, but a lot of it comes down to relatable perspectives, either to Harry, or to the Aliens, both believer and those forced into the system. You get to see both halves of the culture, you have the man who is crippled and because of it, forced by his family to die, and "move on to the next emanation" which regardless of anyone's POV the culture is fully engrossed in this belief, yet to this Alien the concept of dying scares him, rationally so, he becomes unsure of his belief which may be weakened due to his injuries. Flip side you get the radical believer in the woman Alien, She was fully prepared to die, she could have had months, or given medical advancements, even lived. Yet she was prepared to "move on" and was broken by the idea that perhaps her Afterlife doesn't exist. Underlying this is the culture itself, which under closer inspection is in fact quite a cold culture, just think if a country on earth implemented a way to just die if you are sick or mentally unwell, or depress and feel like a burden, or are disabled. Imagine if you or someone you knew fit the criteria and the country and culture pressured that individual to die and that it was right and that there was something better waiting for them. How would you feel? The not so funny thing is that places like that actually exist in the world.

Are abandoned asteroids acceptable as an Afterlife? Apparently alien angels appreciate arachnid adornments. Awful accommodations! Arrange an alternative!

MartyMc

There is a heavy sadness to this episode that is unique. The subject matter is ambitious. Confronting fear of death, comforting beliefs about the afterlife. It avoids the secular judgment of religion of Who Watches the Watchers. Like the dudes like to say, take a big swing and try something new.

Jeff Seely

I really dislike Who Watches the Watchers because of that Picard speech that condescends (intentionally in my view) to people of faith in the audience. I consider it one of the most revolting moments in all of TNG.

Sykonee

Mostly middling for me. There's some interesting high concepts touched upon, but most of the shipboard plot feels like killing time, especially with the cynical end for their interloping guests. Does make one wonder how filled their morgue already is though...

penoyer79

This one is an A for me. I like it more than most apparently. my 4th fav of the season so far.
