#Voyager Episode Flesh and Blood

I like the #Hirogen but they are also kinda ridiculous. I think perhaps they should have a culture beyond hunting - you know, flesh them out a bit.

But the F&B episode is a good one, I think. It certainly has parallels with what happening today with so-called #AI. The hologram algorithms encourage them to get better an better at fighting until they are too powerful for the Hirogen.

It's a great idea.

I like the doctor's part in this also; how he was duped ...

... The diplomacy didn't work for me. The crew had been repeatedly tortured and injured then Janeway was all: Let's settle this.

It just conjured up the notion of an occupying force in a person's country - colonialism. But the episode was saying talking about it will solve the situation.

I think there needed to be more to disarm the #Hirogen before discussion could take place. And if giving them technology is the best decision (since Voyager is lost in space) it should be better emphasised.

The #StarTrekOnline Delta Recruit thingy has forced me to make another new character. I figured I may as well make a Delta Quadrant type... #Hirogen #StarTrek #Altoholic
