The Ending of "Bliss"

[marlboro]

Good episode, but I was a little confused by the very last scene.

Do you think that Qatai was intentionally flying into the maw of the "pitcher plant" or had the creature cast another illusion and tricked him again?

Um. I don't think it was one of those confusing endings/scenes (like that line Tom said right before they shot out of the borg sphere in Endgame).

It's pretty clear Qatai is Ahab and the creature was his white whale. I believe that Qatai said he hunts the thing earlier. It was intentional.

I think the point is that it's unclear. That man will spend the rest of his life fighting that thing until he dies of old age or it actually eats him
