"Cold Fire" is an episode that, in the early stages of Voyager, created a strong foundation and perhaps the first 10 episode. The darkness that Kes explores through her telepathic abilities will continue to be explored throughout the series by other characters. Tuvok mentions in the last scene that without the darkness their would be no light, which his character, as well as some of the best episodes in following seasons will emphasize.
The name "Cold Fire" is ingenious as it refers to a harsh duality; the euphoria that Kes experiences comes at a cost,
A well written and acted episode, well deserving of a 10.
