Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe telepathic visions that Tuvok experiences in this episode mostly involves reused shots from Scorpion (1997) and Scorpion, Part II (1997), in which Kes sees some of the same images. The recycled footage includes close-up views of a member of Species 8472 that both she and Tuvok individually envisage. Another reused shot is of the battle between a Borg cube and a Species 8472 ship, during which, in the far distance behind the cube, the Starship Voyager can also be seen. In fact, only one of the shots that, supposedly, Tuvok sees telepathically was created especially for this one; it shows a Species 8472 vessel being pursued by a Hirogen warship.
- GoofsBefore 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
Chakotay: Is your body armor designed to handle rapid pressure fluctuations?
Alpha Hirogen: It can defeat most hostile environments. I once tracked a silicon-based life-form through the neutronium mantle of a collapsed star.
Tom Paris: I once tracked a mouse through Jefferies tube 32.

Featured review
The actor Tony Todd stars as a surly and menacing Hirogen hunter in this episode. You can easily tell it's him because of his gorgeous voice, though underneath all this makeup and latex, there's no way to know it's him!
When the show begins, two Hirogens are hunting that Preying Mantis- like creature that scared the crap out of the Borg a few episodes ago. However, evidently despite shooting the thing many times, it still managed to kill one of them and nearly kill the other. Voyager comes upon the Hirogen ship and tries to help, as they are cosmic do- gooders. However, this is a great example of the phrase 'no good deed goes unpunished' and soon the ship appears ready to be destroyed. And, in an interesting confrontation, Seven deliberately ignores the Captain's totally insane orders!
I always thought that Captain Janeway was way too pacifist on the show and here she nearly destroys the ship because she's basically a social worker at heart. I say Seven was RIGHT! See what I mean when you see this one.
Overall, a decent episode--and you'll soon see a lot more of these nasty Hirogen. By the way, these Hirogen and love of the hunt are sure reminiscent of "Star Trek: Deep Space 9: Captive Pursuit".
