1 Big Difference Between Star Trek: Voyager’s “Scientific Method” and TNG
There was still a big difference between “Scientific Method” and its TNG counterparts
" Scientific Method ’s " alien villains ended up being a lot less chilling thanTNG ’s for one important ground : they were humanoid . In both " Schisms " and " Where secretiveness Has Lease,“the stranger the Enterprise - D crowd encountered were emphatically non - human , make them a wad more unsettling . The “ Schisms ” aliens in particular were terrifyingly non - humanoid figure with unclear motivation , and the being in " Where Silence Has Lease , " although able to intercommunicate intelligently , had the advantage of appearing as no more than a large facial expression in space , make it much less relatable .
Although the aliens in " Scientific Method " were never named on - projection screen , the episode ’s shooting script reveal that they were called the Srivani .
In contrast , once they had been exposed , the aliens try out onVoyager ’s crew in " Scientific Method " were n’t closely as scary . Their motives may have been unpleasant , and a commentary on unethical experimental practice , but they ended up packing much less of a punchthan something like the beingness in " Schisms . " This did n’t make theStar Trek : Voyagerepisode any less interesting , but it did stop " Scientific Method " from devolving into genuine nightmare fuel .
