Did writers forget about “Barge of the Dead” in season 7? During “Imperfection”, Seven ask B’Elanna if she believes in afterlife. Her response is ‘I hope so.’
She literally went to hell and back. How does that not make her believe in it?
It was a hallucination.
Interesting take that feels dismissive to me, what about the episode makes you draw that conclusion? It strongly felt to me like her experience was being presented as outside the bounds of what can be measured by science.
I think you can even draw a defining distinction there because if it is not believed then pseudohalucination would be the better description.
