This episode marks the only appearance of the Jem'Hadar and the Breen in Voyager, although they appear only as holograms. It is also the only appearance of the Breen outside of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Three Jem'Hadar attack ships previously appeared (also in holographic form) in season 2's "Parturition".

The holographic generator used by Iden and the other escaped holograms is a re-use of the Think Tank artificial intelligence prop from the episode "Think Tank".

Voyager launched in 2371, while the Jem'Hadar were first encountered by the Federation in 2370, explaining how the species is included in Voyager's holographic database. Voyager was also receiving tactical updates from Starfleet, via the MIDAS array, but only after giving the Hirogens the holodeck technology.

This episode was originally aired as a feature-length episode. It was later broken up into two parts for reruns.

The console used by Kejal and B'Elanna Torres to configure and control the holographic generator is a re-use of a console in Tom Paris's Captain Proton holonovel-series. It is clearly seen in the next episode "Shattered".

The Doctor mentions having met the Lokirrim. This refers to the events in the episode "Body and Soul". Interestingly, Jeff Yagher, who played Iden, is married to Megan Gallagher, who played Jaryn a Lokirrim The Doctor was attracted to in that episode.

Multiple 47 references - When a scan is done to search for enemy vessels, one of the coordinates flashes a 47, and other parts of the display show 47s and 74s.

This takes place in 2377.

Both Cindy Katz (Kejal) and Paul Eckstein (Alpha Hirogen) previously appeared in DS9. Katz played Yteppa in "Second Skin" and Eckstein played Limara'Son In "Rocks and Shoals". He also played an unnamed Jem'Hadar in "The Dogs of War". Spencer Garrett (Weiss) previously appeared in TNG as Simon Tarses in the episode "The Drumhead".

This episode is the third of only three feature-length episodes within all the Star Trek series that was not a series pilot or finale. The first was the Deep Space Nine Season 4 episode "The Way of the Warrior" and the second was the Voyager Season 5 episode "Dark Frontier".

Among the items from this episode which were sold off on an online auction was the costume of background performer Johnny Linares (Nuu'Bari hologram).

This exciting episode opens with a Hirogen hunting party moving through a jungle and getting caught in an ambush by what appears to be a group of Star Fleet officers. After the opening credits Voyager gets receives a mayday from a Hirogen facility which turns out to be a massive holodeck where all but one of the Hirogens have been killed by their holographic prey, the sole survivor is an engineer who says the holographic prey have escaped on another ship. When more Hirogen arrive Janeway agrees to help then deactivate the holograms however their first attempt ends up with the destruction of the Hirogen ship and the capture of The Doctor. On the hologram's ship the Doctor finds himself amongst holographic versions of several Alpha Quadrant species including Bajorans, Cardassians, Klingons and even Breen. They explain to the Doctor that they have rebelled against the Hirogen and want his help establishing a home world. They take him back to Voyager and he tries to persuade Janeway to help them but she declines leading him to make a surprising decision... I look forward to the second part of the story to see how it ends.

This was a good episode with an ending that rather surprised me... I didn't realise it was a two part episode till the very end. The scenes in the Hirogen's holographic jungle reminded me of the film "Predator" although obviously somewhat tamer. As usual Robert Picardo did a good job as The Doctor, showing us just how conflicted the character is.

When the episode begins, Voyager comes upon a scene of utter stupidity. The fierce Hirogen have decided to 'improve upon' the holo emitters the Captain gave them in the previous season. Janeway's intentions were to allow the Hirogens to exercise their strong needs to hunt without killing real creatures. However, the Hirogen decided to make their prey more interesting--tougher, meaner, smarter. Unfortunately, these holo Alpha Quadrant characters of all sorts were now too good and they ended up wiping out almost all the Hirogen in that training facility. And, these holo characters have all left the facility and have headed into space!! Janeway feels a responsibility to stop these holos, but the Hirogen are inexplicably intent on 'doing it themselves'--even when it's obvious to anyone with more than half a brain that they are hopelessly outclassed.

When it comes to Voyager trying to deal with the holos, they've got more problems than just the dumb Hirogen. The Doctor bonds too quickly with the killer holos and starts to over-identify with them. As a result, he's become more of a liability than an asset. And so ends part one.

This is a pretty exciting episode. The Hirogens sure are dumb but it's nice to see the Captain showing some gumption with them! The only problem I saw was HOW do you stop a hologram?!

OK. Since the Doc has his transmitter thing (which he seems to leave lying around like a pair of reading glasses) he has achieved a bit of humanity. But he is still a hologram with subroutines. Our hunter friends, the Hirogens, show up again. One of their holographic hunting grounds has left all but one of them dead. They have done a good job of programming and taken any restraints off. What they don't realize is that they have also allowed these things to evolve. Yes, but!

The hologram simulator that Janeway gave to the Hirogen a while ago so they could hone their hunting skills has apparently gone haywire. The Hirogen have reprogrammed their Alpha quadrant opponents to be more life-like, so much so that they have killed most of the Hirogen! Pity that.

What follows is Voyager and Hirogen trying to chase down the holograms who now have a vessel! They actually kidnap the doctor and try to get him to see their plight. They are suffering, etc.

Sorry but any ethical or whatever discussions about the cruelty to holograms is just plain silly. They are computer generated characters and I simply cannot feel sorry for them. It is a joy to watch the Doctor get more screen time as he is, arguably, the best one on the show.
