Episode 87: The Killing Game Part II



If we don’t learn from history we’re doomed to repeat it, apparently. On an unrelated note Star Trek: Enterprise premiered ten years ago today.

Anyway, since the Hirogen have put holo-emitters all throughout Voyager, there are holo-nazis (a word I never thought I’d type) everywhere. Seven and Janeway are the only ones to know who they are...well, I suspect all the others do but they’re pretending not to. Being in France during the second World War has to be preferable to being on Voyager. So to cut a long story short the Hirogen leader wants his people to use holo technology instead of hunting themselves into extinction (though if they’re hunting themselves they surely should win the Darwin award). Eventually the Voyager crew defeat them and the Hirogen leave. The end.

Oh before the Hirogen leave Janeway gives them holodeck technology. What’s with suddenly being fine to give other races Federation technology, like the isolinear chips in Retrospect? It’s funny how a few years in far off space and these “Federation values” go out the airlock faster than Paris when he achieved Warp 10. Fortunately these didn’t turn into lizards and try to copulate with Janeway. Small mercies and all that.
