Episode 84: Prey



So this is the third episode in a row with the Hirogen, I wonder if they’ll actually do anything in this one. Oh, Star Trek’s Tony Todd™ is playing one of them so I guess they must.

Voyager happens upon an injured Hirogen who’s been out hunting a Species 8472 (remember them? He did apparently.). So naturally Captain Compassion decides to treat him. The Species 8472 gets aboard and the hilarity starts. Janeway wants to send it back to it’s dimension but can’t without Seven who’s decided that’s a stupidest idea since... well, since Voyager, what with the approaching Hirogen ships and all.

Whoever decided to put the Doctor and Seven together as a double earned their money that day. I actually look forward to seeing their humourous scenes together. I’m still not convinced about the Hirogen though, since they’re just the standard Star Trek hunters which have been seen in any number of episodes (when there’s not time travel of course) but I guess they’ve only been in the three episodes!

Lastly, Seven disagreeing with and then disobeying the Captain is everthing that the Maquis should’ve been instead of Chakotay and crew just accepting everything after an episode or two. Seven’s parting lines to Janeway in the episode about individuality being quite apt with Janeway having nothing to respond with.
