Review
Okay, so Voyager is a bit more careful about fighting Hirogen ships now. They seem to be a little more threatening too. Maybe the ship Voyager defeating last episode was just a weaker model or something. The issues the first part thoroughly failed to deal with are tackled here. Janeway finally realizes that much of this situation is her fault and the doctor realizes the idiocy of his decision. Additionally, part two loses none of the nice action and none of the nice eye candy. As a result of all this, part two is quite a bit more successful. The only negative aspect to the story is Iden, who turned into a megalomaniac. It would have been a much better episode if Iden and his followers weren't so clearly portrayed as bad guys. And the whole "rescuing the mindless holograms" scene was just unnecessary. The two episode as a whole probably would have been better if it were compressed into a single episode, simply removing the bad elements.
