Still going thru Voyager (at random bursts). There's still been a bunch of awesome eps but just wanted to mention The Killing Game 2 parter. It was crazy, with which life to believe, with the Nazi stuff vs the real Voyager stuff vs the Hirogen.
I only liked the Hirogen now because of the awesome Captain Karr who wanted to use the holodecks to help his race stop spreading themselves too thin, to stop 'hunting' themselves to extinction or whatever. I loved the idea because, well, it was like using video games to help their hunting mentality, haha.
Too bad Karr died, killed by the second in command Turanj. But I also liked because he was convinced by a broken hearted Nazi that he should preserve their way of life, their culture, which, y'know, is still valid. He shouldn't have killed Karr but I get his view too.
And I sympathized with the poor, evil supposedly nameless holo Nazi guy who was the father of B'Elanna 's fake holo baby. His holo love was betrayed, both by B'Elanna being a spy and later seeing Tom Paris as her former lover. I guess he was just angry and didn't want a ceasefire and prompted to inspire Turanj to betray Karr with his horrifying 'keep the race pure' speech. Sad that he just got stabbed by a holo Klingon. He was a holo Nazi and not a real person but, I dunno, he had some dimensions, haha
It's a lot of action but I kinda loved the craziness of it. Hope the Hirogen use the holodeck tech to help their race.

Dang it, I want the Hirogen to appear in Lower Decks but I remember the Bold Boimler ep where a monster alien was hunting him for sport. THAT alien should have been a Hirogen.
