Which scene? I’m watching on Amazon so might not be the same as what you have on DVD.
They kind of tried to make Ascension more about science than philosophy in the Season 9 episode they referenced and this. I suppose it was because the earlier times were about Oma testing people to see if they were ready for ascension, then helping them along if they were.
No, I’m not saying there was one, I’m saying that there should have been.
