Trivia
The Alpha Hirogen is played by Tony Todd, who played Worf's Klingon brother Kurn in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) and Sons of Mogh (1996). He also played the future Jake Sisko in The Visitor (1995). The other Hirogen Hunter is played by Clint Carmichael, who played the Nausicaan barroom brawler in Tapestry (1993).

Goofs
Before heading to the asteroid, the alpha Hirogen picks up a rifle, then we see a Hirogen smear white paint on his helmet. When the two get to the asteroid, the one with the red paint is the leader, not the white one. One might think that they have switched roles; however, the Hirogen who picked up the rifle was not the same one seen painting white paint on his helmet.

Quotes
The Doctor: [not very self-assured] You should know I'm a hologram and can't be bent, spindled or mutilated, so don't bother trying.

alien vs predator

Sorry, Species 8472 vs Hirogen

I will disagree with other reviews about the sense of Cpt Janeway - species 8472, despite the peril it poses, deserves some compassion, at least as a dramatic device. Describing it as pure evil was unfair - in general, non-humanoid species are rare enough in Star Trek, and usually shown as xenophobic (probably to explain why they are not around much).

Anyway, the episode was quite good, except of course for the captain's hypocrisy (or, better, the writers' disregard for continuity): she is unwilling to sacrifice the hunted alien even if it saves the whole of Voyager, but no one is there to remind her of that time she killed a guy called Tuvix.
