Talk:Bliss (episode)

Boylen
who is the Boylen listed in the references.. a different person from the Boylen in ? -- Captain Mike K. Barteltalk 17:13, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC) Edit: In the entry for White, it states 'Boylan'.- Adm. Enzo Aquarius 17:19, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Boylen listed here is a Crewman on the USS Voyager, as stated by Seven of Nine: "Crewmen Boylen and White - frequently late for their duty shifts." However, my sources have this person as 'Boylan' (I changed the quote to prevent confusion). I know the apprehension of using closed captioning, but maybe somebody should check this episode if they have the Season 5 DVD.

Stuff
The ending is slightly vague -- was it just me, or does it imply Qatai is operating in league with the monster?

Is the monster in this perhaps a grown up version of the doomsday machine?

'The creature that stars in this episode is similar to a creature Worf described in TNG: "Where Silence Has Lease", that was said to "devour entire vessels."'

Wasn't that Nagilum, who experimented on people, but didn't eat them per se?

Fire Extinguisher Locker
I know it's OR, but: Qatai's ship has what I am certain is a 20th century fire extinguisher locker (One of the ones that is traditionally set into walls). It has the characteristic beige paint, and has a slit window that fits with every fire extinguisher locker I have ever seen. Is there any chance we could mention it? Links: An image of the type of fire extinguisher locker I am speaking of: http://www.iangarrott.com/fec.ht2.jpg Compare to this screengrab, near the end of the episode:
 * No. You may think it's a fire extinguisher locker but it could be a futuristic replicator - unless you have a source that states it's supposed to be a fire extinguisher then you can't post it as it would be a nitpick &mdash; Morder 23:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Beg to differ. It can be mentioned that a fire extinguisher box was used as a prop on the set. There is nothing wrong with that, it is not nitpicking. You can't state that in universe, it is intended to be a fire extinguisher box. --OuroborosCobra talk 05:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Script request
Does anyone have the script for this episode? I am just curious about it.
