Episode 108: Bliss
Well it is Star Trek so I guess it’s time to make a tortuous reference to Moby Dick and I guess this is it.
Seven and Naomi Wildman return to Voyager after an away mission. Yes, it’s the Seven and Naomi show! No, don’t even bother to think about that one. It seems in their absence another wormhole has been discovered, oh no wait, it’s all an illusion, Michael. The crew don’t take kindly to being told this so Janeway dispatches Chakotay to deal with her. Yes, that’s right against the Borg. So what follows is another against the rest of the crew type episode. Eventually the ship goes into the wormhole which turns out to be a giant space creature which eats ships. Of course it does. So Naomi, Seven, the Doctor and a random alien they find in the creature team up to get out. Which they succeed (after a couple of false starts with seeing more illusions).
I love how they have those computer pads or PADD as I believe they’re called and that they seem to use them one at a time like paper. At one point Janeway had about five or six on her desk. What did she have on them? The complete literature of a different planet on each on?
One of the things I quite liked about the episode was that Naomi and Seven had complete apathy towards going to Earth. I can well imagine.
