VHS Movie Reviews of Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 175: Emergence [VHS]

Movie Review: Mix A Galaxy-Class Starship
Summary: 4 Stars

with a bunch of nodes,
add holodeck problems (including the captain and Data nearly being smushed by a train engine)
add a pinch of weird ship-wide happengs and you've got...Emergence. On the whole, quite a funny episode. You've got to enjoy seeing all the really, really different holodeck characters that pop up, especially the conducter. Other good points are with Data handling traffic issues. While the main plot was maybe be a little on the crazy side, I enjoyed it and appreciated the enviroment of the train with our 24th century heroes.

Movie Review: Great effects do not a great Trek make!
Summary: 2 Stars

Yeah, the visuals are stunning, the costuming is, forgive the pun, "fitting", but this has to be the dumbest ST: NG episode, next to "The Royale" and "Devil's Due".

Movie Review: Great TNG Episode
Summary: 5 Stars

This was one of my favourite Star Trek episodes, from the teaser scene before the opening credits to the strange world created by the holodeck. I always liked the TNG episodes that were mysterious and dream-like. Since "Emergence" calls for the crew to interpret images in the episode it also calls to mind the first part of "Birthright" when Data started dreaming. Overall, this is a great episode, and one of last TNG episodes to air.

Movie Review: Good Visuals...
Summary: 3 Stars

I recieved this video as a Christmas present, and I thought it was one of the better ones I had seen. It involves a lot of mind twisting tricks. I suggest you buy it.

Summary of Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 175: Emergence [VHS]

Holodeck madness! After passing through a magnetoscopic storm, the Enterprise starts exhibiting bizarre malfunctions, largely centered on the holodeck. When Data and La Forge investigate, they discover that the ship seems to be developing the first nodes of its own neural pathways--and protecting them. The crew becomes nervous as the Enterprise's systems begin not only working together, but working independently of human commands. This is an excellent, richly plotted episode, perfectly blending suspense, whimsy, and good old-fashioned Starfleet problem solving. The holodeck's incarnations of the ship's systems are interesting in concept and appropriately menacing, and the crew gets to mull over an interesting tacit question: If the Enterprise develops intelligence, does that make them parasites? As an added touch of class, Brent Spiner gets to show off his classical chops when Data performs Prospero's big monologue from The Tempest--managing, of course, to both foreshadow and comment on the episode's themes as he does. --Ali Davis
