The two Hirogen encountered in this episode are also quite tall and an imposing presence.
The Hirogen’s main goal in life seems to be to hunt down prey, and take trophies from their victims -hence the Predator similarity. Meanwhile, a race of “hunters” known as the Hirogen is monitoring Voyager’s actions and aren’t taking kindly to it. Voyager encounters a massive communications relay and starts getting letters from home. We also get another great one-liner from Janeway: “Time’s….up!”Ī tale of two halves in this one, with the first part getting rather emotional at times while the back half is all about surviving against Star Trek’s version of….The Predator? It is touching, and the swelling music in the background is perfect for that moment. Speaking of Tuvok, his exchange with Janeway before they leave her alone on Voyager may be the best part of the episode. Although at this point he is blind – can he bat an eye if he wanted to?) It’s interesting how Paris thinks Annorax is completely out of his mind for associating human qualities (like mood swings) to time, meanwhile Janeway sees Voyager almost like another part of the crew: something that has nurtured them and taken care of our lost heroes all this time. (The Doctor has a point, Janeway sure seems to be acting a little more reckless and with less regard for her personal safety lately – perhaps it was the haircut.) We get more insight as to why Annorax is the way he is, and you can’t help for feel for the guy. Here we get to see more of what Chakotay and Paris are going through while Voyager (somehow) continues to limp through space day in and day out.
