Review of Bliss

Star Trek: Voyager: Bliss (1999)
Season 5, Episode 14
9/10
I just think it's neat.

I know Naomi's a polarizing figure (not sure why other than like a knee-jerk "Kids Bad! Shut Up Wesley! Grown Ups Only On My TV!" kind of reaction), but I really like the way they use her character to show all the ways that life on Voyager is, by necessity, different than life on other Federation Starships. She's as much a member of the Voyager Crew as anyone else, Starfleet rank or no, just by virtue of being along for the ride. Also Scarlett Pomers is great at making her seem like a full character rather than just a stock Kid to be used when the plot demands. Good for you, girl from "Reba"! She's got good chemistry with Jeri Ryan, too. Also, fun fact, the guy who plays Qatai in this episode is the father of the actor who played Icheb's dad in "Child's Play" from season 6. They were both also in "The Impossible Astronaut" from series 5 of Doctor Who like 15 years later.
