The Crossing

The Enterprise is engulfed by a huge starship that disables the engines and weapons, but leaves the life support system working. While inspecting the interior of the ship with Archer and Reed, Trip is briefly possessed by a wispy being, having an incredible trip. Later Tucker is possessed again by the being that explains to Archer that they are an evolution of a race to non-corporeal form, and they are offering the crossing experience to anyone in Enterprise. However, Archer does not believe on the beings and T'Pol offers to try to contact one of them and find the real intention of the offer of the wispy aliens.

"The Crossing" is a good episode, with an intriguing story but I did not like the conclusion. If a race is capable to evolve to a non-corporeal level, how could they be so mean and selfish? Wouldn't be easier asking for help to Enterprise? My vote is eight.
