Janeway is the worst captain. You'd think the priority would be to get back to the alpha quadrant. I can understand some exploration along the way, but Janeway keeps insisting that they stop and involve themselves with species that are known to be hostile instead of getting the heck out of their space. First it was the Borg and now it's the Hirogen and species 8472. What happened to the prime directive?
In this episode, Seven was clearly right--both of these species are extremely dangerous and no doubt the winner of the "hunt" would then turn on the helpful crew who healed them. What gets me is Janeway is acting in a reckless manner. But it's amazing that the crew, particularly Tuvock, Belanna and Tom Paris who are logical and/or have been renegades previously put up with a captain who acts like this. Especially now that they've heard from home! But they act like drones. Only Seven is making sense.
