    Star Trek has had a number of episodes involving children, one that springs to mind in the one where Picard is in the turbo lift with 3 children. Of course, TNG also had good old Wesley Crusher for quite a few episodes. Now, my opinion is, episodes where children are the focus characters just aren't very interesting, usually the acting is bad (because most children can't act...) and I don't think the episodes are cute or anything like that, just, annoying.

    What are your thoughts!

    I agree that most are annoying, because most can't act.

    I was okay with Naomi Wildman, though.

    That Voyager episode where Naomi's mother was lost in a shuttle was an okay episode, it was pretty Naomi and holodeck centered.

    The episode was 'Once Upon a Time' 5x05 incase anyone wants to watch it.

    That was the first actress that came to my mind. I think she was quite okay. I also enjoyed some scenes with Nog and Jack. The episode with Picard and the three children was very poor acting like others, too.

    Naomi grew up so fast... But that's another debate Wink
    I tend to agree with Three : most children can't act, and I saw that in Star Trek...

    Memory Alpha explains this pretty well.

    As with other child characters in Star Trek, Naomi Wildman appears to age rather quickly. She is seen at age two in 2374 appearing to look about six years old, and then later seen from 2375-2378 (at age three to six) to look about ten years old. However, unlike other such characters, an on-screen explanation was provided. (Her Ktarian heritage caused her to age more rapidly than a purebred Human.)

    How about the one where a few of the cast were turned into children (Picard, Guinan, Ro & Keiko)?

    Generally it's my consensus that the children focused episodes of this and many other series just have poor acting so I'm with y'all - most are pretty annoying but there's a few gems out there. A handful of those child actors are even still acting today - Kirsten Dunst comes to mind. One of the younger girls that played Naomi Wildman even kept acting - she was on the show Reba.

    On a side note, anyone ever watch MASH? There were a lot of actors that did both shows. Always wondered if there was some producer or something somewhere that made it happen, or just coincidence.

    Oh, that one was fun! I guess there are good and bad ones, but bad acting of children can ruin every good script.

    It wasn't awful, but I can't say I enjoyed watching it, there were still bits that just didn't gel well with me, if that makes sense. I can see why you picked that one though, it is much better than a lot of child focused episodes!

    That was called "Rascals" and I liked it very much, especially the part where the young Picard started having a tantrum because the Ferengi would not take him to his "Father", who was Cmdr. Riker.

    Gotta agree with Three on this one; I'm just not a huge fan of episodes centered around children. I find it's usually a combination of:

    A) Children often can't act as well.
    B) There is often a plot line where the child seems genius and all the trained professionals are idiots, or
    C) We have to listen to some prepubescent whinging about how life is so difficult.

    And it's not just Trek, plenty of other films and shows are in the same boat. It's not entirely their fault, but that doesn't excuse it either.
