Case 5.5: Once Upon a Time
Hey there, little voyagers! Do you know what time it is? That’s right! It’s time for more scene-by-scene critical analysis of Star Trek: Voyager! Hooray! This week’s episode of Voyager examines anxieties related to death and loss through the lens of children’s literature, because of course it does! Will Naomi Wildman successfully cope with the possible loss of her mother when an away mission goes wrong? Can her imaginary friend be reconstituted after a fire ogre blasts him to steam? Will Neelix make the whole thing about him and his issues? Is “Once Upon a Time” GOOD... or is it GARBAGE?
