They fleshed out the culture of the “Predators” and made them a voyager villain. The “hunt is all” race.
It was an interesting idea, but those 2 episodes were a pretty odd premise. If holodeck technology was so revoluntary for their culture, they should have worked to incorporate it into their ships, not build a huge holodeck simulation on voyager and enslaved its crew.
I think they were fun too, but just strange in a clearly “bottle episodes” kind of way.
It was definitely one of those holodeck adventure stories. I was disappointed that the Hirogen didn’t show up as much in the later seasons (the extent of their communications relay network suggested that they used to have a vast territory), although they did come back to the fallout of “The Killing Game” in Season 7’s “Flesh and Blood”.
