Schrodinger's Angla'bosque Voyager

[Ragitsu]

Good afternoon.

In Caretaker, we hear this line from Neelix ->

NEELIX: You need a cook? Oh, you haven't lived until you've tasted my angla'bosque.

Now, we never actually see anyone on the errant vessel - be they Alpha or Delta Quadrant native - dine on this "angla'bosque"; because of this ambiguity, is it possible the crew of Voyager exists in an uncertain quantum state...neither precisely dead nor alive?

 

[Dukhat]

No.

End of discussion.

 

[Ragitsu]

Every man dies; not every man really angla'bosques.

 

[Starflight]

No.

End of discussion.

I'm afraid the answer is "yes".

 

[Scanlan]

You can only angla bosque after you anbo jitsu.

You can only angla bosque after you anbo jitsu.

In the The Next Generation episode "The Icarus Factor", Kyle Riker says...

KYLE: Anbo-jyutsu. The ultimate evolution of the martial arts.

Later, in the Voyager episode "Meld", Tuvok says...

TUVOK: It would be safer for the crew if I were to remain in these quarters. I remind you, I am trained in the martial arts of many Alpha quadrant cultures. Sitting here, attempting to meditate, I have counted the number of ways I know of killing someone using just a finger, a hand, a foot. I had reached ninety four when you entered.

I wonder if anbo-jyutsu is part of his lethal repertoire. Regardless, it seems that anbo-jyutsu is the "death" to the "life" that is angla'bosque.

It's what Leola Root was actually called by wealthy Talaxians. Neelix was trying to sound fancy, before he understood that the Voyager crew wouldn't care.

This reminds me of the difference between Patagonian toothfish and Chilean sea bass.

It can be lethal, but only if they wear those silly suits.

Schrödinger came to Voyager later on, in "Deadlock". Only their crew remained both alive and dead even AFTER the box was open.
