The Bajorans are one of the most thoroughly fleshed out aliens in Star Trek. Heavily featured in Deep Space Nine, the Bajorans worship a race of noncorporeal beings called "The Prophets." A controversial theory says the Prophets evolved from far-future Bajorans...could this theory have merit?

So, what do you think? Are the Bajorans the ancestors of the Prophets? And what else would you like me to explore when it comes to alien biology, sci-fi tech, etc.?

Alien Biology question: Is Q a warlock? - The TV show "Bewitched" had characters who possessed the exact same powers as Q. Though they referred to themselves as witches and warlocks, they could manipulate time, space, and matter in many of the same ways as Q, and with a similar style as well. The main character, Samantha, tried to live as a human to please her mortal husband, but her relatives were not so tolerant. Her mother, Endora, could be malevolent, and her uncle Arthur loved to play practical jokes - just like Q! Could they be the same species?

I have long thought this exact thing; the Prophets are grandfather paradoxing themselves, to ensure they come into being. There are references that suggest Bajorans aren't even native to Bajor but arrived there from somewhere else. It all seems to point to this being the truth: Bajorans will evolve into the non-corporeal, trans-temporal Prophets some millions or billions of years into their own future. Reminds me a bit of "Ancients" from Stargate.

@@lifeinthevoid1595 Salome Jens portrayed the Human Progenitor in this one episode of TNG which aired in April of 1993. A year later, she was cast to play the Female Shapeshifter, appearing in 15 episodes of DS9, beginning with "The Search" in September of 1994. The decision to cast her in DS9 was undoubtedly made after TPTB viewed her performance in "The Chase. Perhaps they liked not only the performer herself, but the whole look of her character, and told the makeup department to just go with that. They probably never imagined, years in the future, people like us would love DS9 as much as we do - watching every episode in sequence over and over again - along with all of the other Star Trek shows including "The Chase" episode, to the extent we'd even notice the similarities of the two characters, yet alone find it as creepy as we do!

Don't know if you've talked about it before in relation to Bajorans, but i always found it weird that Ensign Ro gets told to not wear her cultural token (earing) while on duty.

It's possible that she wasn't allowed to because the Cardassians were an active enemy. It may be a diplomatic problem for the UFP to allow her to do so. As the Cardassians might view it as a recognition of the Bajorans as an independent species instead of a "member" of their union. This wouldn't be an issue with the Klingons because they are directly allied with the UFP during TNG.

People in industrial countries today cannot or only hardly relate to how rare meat was until ca. 100+ years ago. Case in point a regiment of the royal british bodyguard is called beefeaters, as they were important enough to eat cow meat each day (very expensive back in the day). That title represented utmost importance and wealth back then. Today it sounds silly. So yeah loosing touch with perspectives of your ancestors is very easy. Especially if you percieve time fundamentally different like the prophets do
@shawnleeguku

The Prophets remind me a lot of the Overmind from "Childhood's End," they were a sort of non-corporeal hivemind that influenced the evolution of lower lifeforms into becoming like them, and joining with the Overmind once they've reached that evolutionary step. The Prophets may be future Bajorans trying to guide their own evolution in a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy, no pun intended. Like the Overmind they could also be composed of several species , including Bajorans, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were influencing other species across the galaxy or perhaps the whole universe. There's also a pretty strong religious theme playing out in the way both the Prophets and the Overmind have affected the past, present and future of the civilizations they influence.

Another idea would be that they are Bajorans, but the subgroup become the Prophets and Pah Wraiths and the other Bajorans forgot (made to forget?) or mythologized the Prophets.

I don’t know enough to say if this theory being correct. As you said there’s not much to go on. But perhaps this can be compared to Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” where these beings actually formed in this place. They have their POV and those on Bajor have their own POV. So Bajor seen their shadows like they see Bajor’s shadows. And Sisko is like the guy who looks outside of the Cave at the real world under the Sun. Some of the writers must have gotten a strong background of distant European Classics.

I often wondered if the whole idea behind the prophets and Pa wraiths really comes from CS Lewis. I say this because he wrote a science fiction trilogy called the Space Trilogy or Ransom Trilogy where one of the alien races parallel the prophets in an uncanny way except Lewis gives them a name, which derives from a mix of Hebrew and Old English, Eldilla and the highest intelligence being is an Eldilla called on Oyarsa. So slight differences but not by much. Lewis actually gets the idea as an amalgamation of the biblical angels as well as something Tolkien, his friend, was fond of saying in his apologetics which is, " what we call history God calls mythology and what we call mythology God would call history." Now it's entirely possible the Star Trek creators and Gene Roddenberry came up with the prophets all on their own in which case the similarities are from similar resource material for inspiration in which case they are just coincidence. But having read the space trilogy and being a fan of DS9 I couldn't help but see a striking similarity. Read at least Out of the Silent Planet and you can see what I mean.

Thanks for covering this topic Tyler! To me, the prophets would be the end state of the Bajoran pursuit of philosophy and spirituality. If at some future time, the Bajorans ascend and are no long temporally linear, they could have spent virtually an eternity as the prophets before their involvement with the current Bajorans or the emissary. I'm thinking some of the writers of DS9 thought of this idea but any confirmation of it was written out to avoid confusing the audience too much. Although I definitely agree with the idea of the Prophets being some sort of "future bajorans", I can see how it would be too much for the average viewer in the 90s.

This would place the prophets as a minimum type 4 civilization. They're able to create stable wormholes, they exist as energy, and other races worship them as gods. But given their nature regarding time, they may even be a type 6 civilization. I would say the Q are definitely type 6. This places a race at the end of it's evolution where it has completely mastered the laws of the universe, multiverse, multiple dimensions, and time. Basically, they are as close as they can come to "God" or a type 7 civilization which is the omniverse itself, without actually being that God. At this point, time as we know it has no meaning for these beings. Past present and future are all the same, and they can basically do whatever they want with it. With this in mind, it's very possible that the prophets are the future bajorans at the end of their evolutionary cycle. I kind of like the idea.

It could also be the reverse, that the prophets evolved (devolved?) into Bajorans to experience the physical/mortal world after their first contact with Sisko. Whatever their connection is they seem to be a step above humans/Bajorans but a step below the Q. As far as I can remember Q doesn’t mention or refer to them whatsoever while he is on DS9 with Vash for that 1 episode.

The Bajorans destroyed a habitable moon, to build a giant power plant? Much like Humons indeed.

The large moon could be tidally locked. This would make high tide one one side of the planet, and low tide on the other. An interesting side effect would be that a small portion of the planet would get an eclipse every day.

The Bajorans ascending as energy beings has a basis in trek lore when you remember the next gen episode "Transfigurations"

Being that the prophets are based on the Vorlons and the Bajorans the Minbari, which groups mirror the Narn and Centauri in this series?

Makes sense indeed. To be „of Bajor“ must mean something. The only thing that doesn't seem to fit to me is that Sisko was born on Earth, not on Bajor. Why on another planet?
@CONSOLETRUTH2
@CONSOLETRUTH2 Год назад
Well, Sisko's mom was a prophet so he is kind of "of Bajor" by proxy sin e his mom is of Bajor so in a way he too is as well.
@AtariFrosch
@AtariFrosch Год назад
@@CONSOLETRUTH2 Yes, sure, but that still does not explain it. Why not find a „proxy“ on Bajor? Was there something so special in one of Ben Sisko's parents that could not be found in anyone on Bajor? 🤔

The Pah-Wraiths and their fire caves makes me think of the much later Stargate-SG1 verse with the Ori. About the Bajoran solarships how did they get those things up into orbit?!?

That progenitor episode was odd if only, because the Earth was molten 4.5 billion years ago. They should have said closer to 3.8 or so, IMO. At least then there was an actual ocean forming.
@OrangeRiver
@OrangeRiver Год назад
Well, I suppose there is some evidence that oceans (or at least some surface water) and life on Earth both date back to over 4 billion years ago, but...I take your point lol. And another issue I've always had with the Progenitors: what about all the worlds Star Trek aliens inhabit (supposedly "natively") that are less than 4.5 billion years old? This is why I think the Progenitors may have seeded their genetic code on asteroids and comets that could have theoretically carried organic material to different places throughout various solar systems.

They could've used seeding satellites with timers and sensors to seed a planet when it was the right time or self-destruct if it doesn't pan out.

My theory is bejor was abandoned by an ancient al-aurion colony. this colony abandoned the planet because they evolved until they could create the celestial temple but the reason they put it in a wormhole that comes out somewhere is because it is a glorified machine whose mechanical inefficiency produces phenomenon that appear magical such as spirits escaping evil dimensions into ours (pah wraiths, and a stellar ribbon that can transport anyone to a generic dimension similar to the environment in the celestial temple.

I still hold with the obvious.."the future is the past..the past is the the future..the present is transition.." puzzle. They don't fully understand..because they see it at the same time..so for them..it's no different than us mere mortals..trying to identify the front of a spheroid object/shape..and (with out it being magnetically dynamic even a bit)..where it's top..thus..bottom... is.

Trendy theory to explain omnipotent beings that interact with lesser beings. That the former are future versions of the latter. Works for almost everything.

Or maybe a small society of past Bajorans. Where did the time portal from 'Time's Orphan' come from? Maybe a group of Bajorans left there home world, found another near by world, and began experimenting with time travel, before learning how to exist outside of space and time.
