@@Beerbottles123 Both show gave us something new but I have to say it was Lexx what was the more brave from the two. The writers have that "we only live once" mentality what made the show very special among all the sci-fi show. But of course Farscape is in the brave category too. Sadly this kind of bravery was lacking from Star Trek. I'm thinking about Riker supposed to die and his duplicate would continue the show. Obviously Data would be second in commant and Riker would be under Worf. Now that would be interesting.

A large meteor could destroy an aircraft carrier in seconds, but aircraft carriers aren't designed to detect meteors. That's because the tiny chance of an aircraft carrier being hit by a meteor doesn't justify the equipment to detect them. I suspect its the same thing with theta flux distortions. Otherwise Picard wouldn't have been oblivious to existence of theta wave distortions.
@balios12310 ай бұрын
@@balios123 Counterpoint: we have other means of detecting meteors of such a size with quite a bit of lead time - there's headlines about this sort of thing all the time. Conversely theta flux distortions seem to just... happen, and there's no such alternate infrastructure for detecting them and relaying that information to starships in the field. It's probably a safe bet that if the Enterprise had been unexpectedly destroyed by one in this episode, future starships would all have sensors that could detect them - at least after an inquest, anyway - and there would be retrofits onto existing ships.

The Enterprise was in a way special as it was the only Galaxy class Ship of that age with only minor refits and since the Binar incident no huge computer update. The USS Galaxy itself was most likely used as a Test bed, so it had constant design and most likely also computer core changes, the Yamato was destroyed and the rest of the Galaxy class ships like the Odyssey were younger and only put into action after Wolf 359 (that also explains why there was no Galaxy class ship in that battle - the Galaxy was most likely not battle ready)

Did this episode come before or after The Measure of a Man? That whole situation could also weigh into such a decision.

Right. Now the point of deep space exploration is to find new phenomenon and new civilizations. Even new unknown threats. Oh what do you know a G type star that is older than 12 billion years puts out exotic radiation we never knew existed and would kill all life in a solar system. Well that will effect Earth one day so how can we shield against it. How do we adapt such shields for star bases, star ships? I can forgive the ship not being built to withstand every possible problem. The fact that StarFleet knew about this field but sensors were never programmed to detect it once they did know is just stupid. Turns out a planet orbiting a Trinary star system 120 light years away, that includes a quasar has a weapon that can make humans break out in boils and cause organs to liquidity and no one trained Starfleet medical to cure it? Why not?

Not believing in something that still has shown no evidence of it's existence in the 24th century would never have entered Picard's mind. Or mine. Although Trek has met several super advanced species, particularly the Q who are literally gods even by the standards of the Trek technology. After all, Q brought Picard back in time billions of years to the very random moment when the early primordial sludge became the very first primitive bacterial life on Earth. Q literally allowed through Picard for life to begin on Earth. But that's skipping ahead. Perhaps one of these are the beings you are alluding to?

Which is why it would be garbage. Self-contained single episode stories are better. It's like most games now that shouldn't be longer than 10 hours and instead are 100 of nothing. The only thing you get out of it is way more wasted time. If you can say it with two words you don't need 2000 unless your goal is to bore everyone and waste their time. Usually in the service of making yourself feel super smart when in reality all you've done is prove that you aren't because a smart person would be trying to find the most succinct way to explain it so that everyone can understand and then move on to whatever comes next after the explanation.

The enterprise is always getting into some of the most outlandish situations and has gone through so many bizarre and strange things that any computer that had that much technical data and had recorded that much strange stuff would definitely have a backlog of unique ways of things existing a number crunching. And try to self, improve. Which would ultimately lead to some form of limited sentience. Sooner or later.🤔

Yes and no the computer was designed with a massive amount of storage space for data on what it encountered and it is designed to learn that’s what’s happening when they ask it for an educated guess but full sentience is differnt if you look at data or Ramy from Andromeda you see full sentience they can go outside their core programming and change in complex ways the computer cannot this scene is a example of that one of its core commands is protect the crew it dosent ask if it can leave or give them the crew a choice it just leaves the area

@@Beerbottles123 Both show gave us something new but I have to say it was Lexx what was the more brave from the two. The writers have that "we only live once" mentality what made the show very special among all the sci-fi show. But of course Farscape is in the brave category too. Sadly this kind of bravery was lacking from Star Trek. I'm thinking about Riker supposed to die and his duplicate would continue the show. Obviously Data would be second in commant and Riker would be under Worf. Now that would be interesting.
David Weber's Mutineer's Moon series has the ship being a very important character.
Every time something like this happens, I'd probably start shouting, "Q! Are you screwing around again!?"

This story line needed more development, it was so rich a single one hour episode didn't do it justice.
Well said
Where is Bonnie and Michael when you need them?
That is true of loads of things from TNG
They did that in discovery
If they had developed this story more, it would have been such a fantastic ode to the first TNG episode when bones said about the enterprise, if you take care of her she'll always bring you home. This could have been a developed story of the enterprise itself having its own kind of sentience that saves the crew from danger to bring them home safely.
How the hell have I never seen this episode!!!? This is exactly the kind of story line I absolutely love
Lucky you. I'd love to find an unseen episode 😭 lol
I was thinking the exact same thing
Season 7, episode 23: Emergence. Kind of a trippy one, and possibly the first ever episode of Star Trek I ever saw (it was part of a weekend marathon I stumbled upon at my dad's, no idea which specific episode was my first)
Took me a little while until I saw three images and I remembered the episode. It was the final 4 episodes before the show ended at Season 7; Episodes 25 & 26 2 hour special. The ship came in contact with an entity that coopted/comandeered the Enterprise into creating a living being and it took the crew the entire time to decide to save a living being by creating a natural resource of food.
It's not a scene most people remember - but more memorable is the steam train in the holodeck, complete with very odd passengers and a conductor/ticket collector - with the trains destination being Vertiform City.
"Set a course for the sol system" "I'm sorry Jean Luc, I'm afraid I can't do that"
"If they Enterprise hadn't jumped into warp when it did, we would have been blown to pieces". That's why they carry a ship full of children.
Originally, Gene Roddenberry imagined the Enterprise as a moving city, basically. The idea was watered down quite a bit in production.
@@guguigugu Yeah but exploring the unknown. That implies danger. Not the ideal place to raise your kids.
It's no different than the colony ships after Christopher Columbus. No destination date, storms, pirates, no form of distress signal on the way to the Americas.
@@blockmasterscott Yes there's no shortage of people willing to take chances to build a better life. But if Earth is the paradise Roddenberry claimed, why not leave your kids there while you explore the unknown?
Those kids knew the possible danger when they signed up. I say let 'm crash!
The ship wants Worf to finally be listened to and for Data to finally be thanked.
I doubt it, I assume Worf's advice here involved hacking the computer to bits with a bat'leth.

"What does the ship want? Where is it taking us? And why is it windy in space?"
Geordi: theta flux distortions can appear at any time and destroy the ship in seconds Also Geordi: our sensors aren't actually designed to detect them because reasons
Lol was thinking the same exact thing
A large meteor could destroy an aircraft carrier in seconds, but aircraft carriers aren't designed to detect meteors. That's because the tiny chance of an aircraft carrier being hit by a meteor doesn't justify the equipment to detect them. I suspect its the same thing with theta flux distortions. Otherwise Picard wouldn't have been oblivious to existence of theta wave distortions.
@@balios123 Counterpoint: we have other means of detecting meteors of such a size with quite a bit of lead time - there's headlines about this sort of thing all the time. Conversely theta flux distortions seem to just... happen, and there's no such alternate infrastructure for detecting them and relaying that information to starships in the field. It's probably a safe bet that if the Enterprise had been unexpectedly destroyed by one in this episode, future starships would all have sensors that could detect them - at least after an inquest, anyway - and there would be retrofits onto existing ships.
Because this was based in the real of possibility Roddenberry wanted Star Trek to be as close to real life as possible so if these things are so rare adding a sense to look for them would be a wast of resources we have geiger counters counters to measure radiation do you carry one around with you
@@seanbraley2772 No, but if I lived or worked somewhere that radiation was a real danger - as theta flux distortions are demonstrated to be in this episode - I absolutely would.

Glad to see in the future that self-driving vehicles still can't be trusted.
While it made for a good premise for an episode we never learn anything about why the Enterprise and only the Enterprise has had this happen to despite all the other ships of its class let alone the countless other Federation ships.
The Enterprise seems "special". It also created Moriarty, and Minuet (although the Binars had something to do with her).
Plot
The Enterprise was in a way special as it was the only Galaxy class Ship of that age with only minor refits and since the Binar incident no huge computer update. The USS Galaxy itself was most likely used as a Test bed, so it had constant design and most likely also computer core changes, the Yamato was destroyed and the rest of the Galaxy class ships like the Odyssey were younger and only put into action after Wolf 359 (that also explains why there was no Galaxy class ship in that battle - the Galaxy was most likely not battle ready)
Given enough time anything and everything is possible, the universe is fundamentally random
Well, firstly it was an existential threat her crew was not aware of to respond to, but Enterprise was confident her captain and crew could handle it with all the shit they've seen (and also having Data as an officer aboard already) while the rest of Starfleet's ships just keep it on the down low. Did this episode come before or after The Measure of a Man? That whole situation could also weigh into such a decision.
I remember watching this with my parents when I was young. For the love of Star Trek, live long and prosper 🖖.
Its all fun and games until your spaceship starts mating with another spaceship for a few hours :)

The ship is going to meet The Borg, another Sentient Collective, predetermined by Q.
I like this episode because it see the Enterprise as an emergent life form and not just a Federation Starship. The Enterprise is more than the sum of her parts.
The lighting, and color palette they used after season 2 was so much better. More saturated and darker
So, there is something in space that is known to blow up spaceships, but the sensors don't scan for it?
Right. Now the point of deep space exploration is to find new phenomenon and new civilizations. Even new unknown threats. Oh what do you know a G type star that is older than 12 billion years puts out exotic radiation we never knew existed and would kill all life in a solar system. Well that will effect Earth one day so how can we shield against it. How do we adapt such shields for star bases, star ships? I can forgive the ship not being built to withstand every possible problem. The fact that StarFleet knew about this field but sensors were never programmed to detect it once they did know is just stupid. Turns out a planet orbiting a Trinary star system 120 light years away, that includes a quasar has a weapon that can make humans break out in boils and cause organs to liquidity and no one trained Starfleet medical to cure it? Why not?
It may be a newly discovered phenomenon, or they may be super rare, or it could be that the phenomenon was never previously considered dangerous, until the Enterprise scanned it...
Probably just too expensive.
They called it a "Theta/Flux Distortion". I don't remember that term in any other episode. Memory Alpha indicates this is the sole example as well. Yeah, super-rare is probable. Expense has rarely been an issue for Star Fleet. So few things can be simply replicated.
@@AvangionQ My guess is it's kind of a situation where scanning for too many different types of things at the same time can lead to unreliable results. Like are you searching for chemical compositions or the chemicals they're composited of, that sort of thing.

@@jeffr3773Questioning his non faith? Seriously? I would say he was inhaling a breath of realisation that he and the entire crew were just a fraction from their collective deaths. And simultaneously dealing with the knowledge that someone or something as yet unknown had somehow taken control of the ship and saved them for an unknown reason. Not believing in something that still has shown no evidence of it's existence in the 24th century would never have entered Picard's mind. Or mine. Although Trek has met several super advanced species, particularly the Q who are literally gods even by the standards of the Trek technology. After all, Q brought Picard back in time billions of years to the very random moment when the early primordial sludge became the very first primitive bacterial life on Earth. Q literally allowed through Picard for life to begin on Earth. But that's skipping ahead. Perhaps one of these are the beings you are alluding to?
@@jeffr3773 "Non-faith"? What does that even mean? Jean-Luc Picard is a sober-minded secular humanist; why would he explore the trappings of religious dogma?

I don't remember this episode. Will have to re-watch.
If I remember correctly it is the episode where there is some complex lifeforms in one of the cargo bay that is controlling the Enterprise to find some nebula that will help its growth and it uses the holodeck as some sort of visual representation of it trying to find this nebula and building itself up
Last season, maybe? I remember not seeing it when it was new and binge-watched all shows on Netflix. It was a much later episode that I was really looking forward to and then there were some silly shenanigans about the holodeck and train engineers if memory recalls.
We can zip between the stars as easy as driving a bus but we can't design a stable computer for our star ships nor can we detect random distortions that may destroy them. Hey--let's take our children with us!
“Star Trek” is “Wagon Train,” to the stars. Real life wagon trains weren’t much safer than life on the _Enterprise_ is depicted as being. And, guess what? In real life, wagon trains were full of children. The past, as they say, is a foreign country. Even eras in living memory, like the 60’s or the 80’s, can have attitudes we find baffling today. But it made sense to them.
Starships that can go many times the speed of light but must get within spitting distance and slowly circle and broadside each other if they want to fight 🙄
Look on the bright side: at least the Enterprise isn't running on Windows.

The weapons needing to be manually used is probably a fail safe against hackers even in his other works where the ships are fully sentient like Andromeda rami and the other high guard ships need a order to load and fire their weapons as for the dr and Moriarty it was basically the same storyline as this how they gained sentience
Season 7, Episode 23
Ship wanted to go for walk in park good doggy
Worf, at the end is basically like, "Ok so our ship is alive now! What the heck is it gonna do with us??" 😂
All that and yet when the ship is being fired on it still takes someone to say, "shields up" and then for Worf to push the button while a few lower deck crewmen get blown into space.

Usually in the service of making yourself feel super smart when in reality all you've done is prove that you aren't because a smart person would be trying to find the most succinct way to explain it so that everyone can understand and then move on to whatever comes next after the explanation.
LeForge: "If the Enterprise had not jumped into warp drive when it did, we would have been blown to pieces!" Q:"The Joys of space travel"😊
The ships run on antimatter matter reactions aka explosions I’m guessing this field or what ever it was destabilizes and amplifies the reaction kinda like pouring lighter fluid into a gas tank
It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid
I never really thought about it but the characters in TNG were *incredibly* concerned with an entity's ability to reproduce when considering if it's alive or not
The fact that most of the staff. Including Picard didn’t know about the concept emergence is unbelievable.
I hoped Picard would be like TNG, I got flying Orchids and Rios who I presume was dreamed up by B grade writers reassuring each other it was great.
This is what I wanna do , fly though space, watching my Big screen TV 😂
The enterprise is always getting into some of the most outlandish situations and has gone through so many bizarre and strange things that any computer that had that much technical data and had recorded that much strange stuff would definitely have a backlog of unique ways of things existing a number crunching. And try to self, improve. Which would ultimately lead to some form of limited sentience. Sooner or later.🤔
Yes and no the computer was designed with a massive amount of storage space for data on what it encountered and it is designed to learn that’s what’s happening when they ask it for an educated guess but full sentience is differnt if you look at data or Ramy from Andromeda you see full sentience they can go outside their core programming and change in complex ways the computer cannot this scene is a example of that one of its core commands is protect the crew it dosent ask if it can leave or give them the crew a choice it just leaves the area
Fire some reason I don't remember this one
still good
some heroes wear nacelles
This looks great. Was it upscaled to HD?
It was a as a thank you for something to them and becouse they amused him. Dead he couldnt mess with them anymore.
S07 E23, and we had to wait over 25 years for Discovery to draw out the conclusion of the ship's computer evolving into an AI. At least we had Andromeda during the gap.
Discovery season 3 answers that after control the black ops division of starfleet tryed to prevent ship’s AIs from being fully sentient
Nice description of consciousness as an emergent property in neural networks .. from the 80s. The chronology of predictions was a bit off ..
The Federation having AI ships would be like the Andromeda, Halo series. 😂
Didn't work out with the Texas Class
I don't believe they addressed what happened to the lifeform after it left. Maybe it becomes a ship, itself with a purpose. "Now if our experiences with the Enterprise have been honorable, can't we trust that the sum of those experiences will be the same?"
this is what led me to make my own starship sentient
Clearly it was the machine spirit lol
Not the best of STNG episodes. Thanks for posting.😎🙏
1:56 What is moving top-right of Data's head ... looks like someone is inside the cavity above the console displays!
Movement at 2:03
Haha it's a microphone! Good eye.
It isn't a microphone, it's the reflection of Data's forehead in the glossy plastic panel in the overhead.
@@stargazer7644 Oh, yes, it is. Now I can see an ear on closer inspection. You'd think the set builders would be a little more careful with reflective surfaces.
@@sarcasticguy4311Careful? Whats the problem with a reflection of one of the actors? Now if the camera or crew were visible, I could see your concern.
The closeups of Picard and Riker, not speaking and moving their heads oddly. Cracks me up.
Gates McFadden can get it...looking good babes
"By the Force of My Will, this ship is going to Sharron!" "If u don't release my ship I will destroy it."
I guess the Enterprise Computer was Chat GPT version 500
I wonder if this episode was after the Binar episode where the 2 Binars were upgrading the ship's computer.
Check out the uniforms, my friend. Okay, okay; Yes, this takes place after the Bynar incident. “11001001” was back in season one, while “Emergence” was season seven; In fact, I believe it was the next-to-last regular episode to air. And lingering effects from the Bynars messing with such a complex computer is as good an explanation for what happens here as any.
This episode reminds me of One Piece when Usopp was scared to death when Going Marry had a ghost doing repairing of the ship all by itself due to how much they loved that ship.
and that was the only time the ship got a staring role during that episode.
Huh, I certainly don't remember this bit and I have seen the entire run at least twice. And having looked it up and read a synopsis I can now say, yep, I've seen this.
one of the writers was reading ghost in the machine by arthur koestler when they got the idea for this episode.
“30 billion kilometers…” so less than a light-year away (1 LY = 9.46 TRILLION Km)
Worf: If that is so, what does the ship want? Where is it taking us? Ship: THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD!! Picard: Q YOU MOTHERFUCK-
I read that in Legolas' voice lol
😂
Star Trek TNG - S07E23 - Emergence
My new idea star trek shirts
Wharf just wants to snuff out the AI, so Klingonish - I love that guy!
This was prophetic of AI
How many decades or centuries prior to this did we see Kirk defeat M5? Emergent intelligence would seem far more compassionate.
Star Trek had to deal with all kinds of AIs and alien computers. Lower Decks even shows SF with a prison of them.
Wtf i thought id watched every episode a dozen times over. What series/episodes is this? Series 7.23 emergence. Turns out I have seen it as soon as It got to the train on the holodeck it's all came flooding back 😂.
