Hunters

The Voyager crew is excited to begin receiving messages from Starfleet using the newly discovered communications array. However, they soon face a new threat from a violent species of hunters called the Hirogen.

Tuvok and Seven of Nine were captured by the Hirogen in a shuttle craft, but Voyager rescues them, as the communications array is destoyed, taking out the 3 Hirogen ships with it.

Some crew members get bad news from their loved ones back on Earth.

Marc, to whom Captain Janeway was engaged, moved on and got married.

Chakotay finds out that all the Maqui are dead.

Tuvok is now a grandfather.

It was a very good episode that focused on the crew and their reactions to news from home.

Prey

When Voyager beams aboard a wounded Hirogen aboard, they inadvertently allow aboard his prey, a Species 8472.

Seven of nine disobeys Janeway and beams the Hirogen hunter and species 8472 to one of the six Hirhen ships that is attacking them.

This saves Voyager.

But Janeway is pissed and tells Seven that she now once again has limited access to the ship and it's systems.

Seven asks Janeway why she is being punished when Janeway wanted her to become an individual. Janeway tells her that there are limitations to how much a person can be an individual.

Fantastic episode!

These two were awesome.

"I offer you a Vulcan prayer, Mr Suder. May your

death bring you the peace you never found in

life." - Tuvok.
