Star Trek VGR Episode 87 - The Killing Game part 2

Continuing on. The episode sort of reminds me of Surviving the Game. Instead of chasing Ice T around the forest, they are chasing Janeway around a city. Eh, that wasn't a good joke. Oh and you know how I said the Hirogen's looked cool, well there's a stipulation to that. They look good in their space suits, out of them ... they look completely ridiculous.

So the Dr. and Harry are the only ones still on the "ship". They find a way to fight back, meanwhile Janeway and 7 of 9 figure out whats going and they fight back from within the holodeck. Eventually they all break free. Turns out this was all just a giant test that the main Hirogen guy was doing on the holodeck. He plans on changing his society and make them less violent. They will still hunt, but only in the holodeck environment. Janeway agrees with him but before she can help assist with the transfer of holodeck technology, he is assisinated. Seems that the others do not agree with him. Janeway gives them the technology anyway in hopes that they will eventually see the way. All in all, it was an entertaining episode. But, I'm just always startled whenever I see a swastika on a TV show. Like that Alf episode where he goes to Auschwitz.

87 down 85 to go
