'The Life and Times of Naomi Wildman': Scarlett's Appearances on Star Trek: Voyager

For three years, Scarlett Pomers starred as the half-Ktarian girl Naomi Wildman in Star Trek: Voyager. She appeared in 17 episodes in Seasons 5, 6 and 7, from her holographic adventures with Flotter and Trevis in 'Once Upon A Time' to Neelix's departure from Voyager in 'Homestead'. Scarlett received an award for 'Best Supporting Young Actress' for her work in Star Trek: Voyager, which was well deserved. Here is a listing of Scarlett's appearances in Voyager, with brief details of the episode, and with details of Scarlett's character's role in the episode.

Season 5

Once Upon A Time

The Delta Flyer encounters an ion storm and is forced to crashland on a planet. Naomi's mother Samantha is on board and is badly injured. Naomi, back on Voyager, is not told, and is kept occupied by Neelix, but as time passes she gets more suspicious. The night before Neelix is going to tell Naomi that the shuttle has crashed, she wakes up in her sleep and walks onto the bridge, and is shocked to learn of the shuttle crash. Before anyone can stop her, Naomi runs and hides in the Flotter holodeck program. Neelix explains that he hid the truth from her to stop her feeling as bad as he did when he lost his family in the Metreon Cascade. The shuttle is retrieved, and Naomi is reunited with her mother.
