Talk:Emergence (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

Curious objection: Towards the end of the episode, after the created intelligent lifeform leaves the Enterprise, Councillor Troi, Worf and Data are seen celebrating along with the rest of the passengers aboard the "Orient Express" recreated in the Holodeck. Shortly after the lifeform departs, the Holodeck program ends and all Holodeck created matter dissappear, however Councillor Troi, Worf and Data are still seen holding glasses with beverages, presumably generated by the Holodeck program.


 * I think the holodeck is capable of replicating things. Remember that holographic bullets can kill if the safety settings are off.


 * ... holedeck work on a principle of light and forcefields. which means sensory inputs of sight, touch, sound. Though I'm curious to taste and smell.  There holodeck often has lingering objects.

Holographic bullets kill, yes, but not because of the mass or composition but rather because of the disruption to the organic systems. Shock. Bloodloss. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.175.184.32 (talk) 00:54, 1 April 2010 (UTC)


 * ... :... As explained in a previous episode (I forget which one), the holodeck works on a combination of illusion and replication. First, the computer subtly alters the setting to make scenes look larger than would seem possible based on the limited size of the holodeck. Second, the computer uses the ship's replicator to create items that the crew interacts with, such as a gun or the glasses of champagne. The glasses the three are holding are as real as if created by the ship's replicator. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.88.133.84 (talk) 02:35, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
