This one ended up pretty much like I expected. The Hirogen leader got shot by his second in command for daring to try and change society, Janeway used holographic weapons to kill nazis and somehow they manage to negotiate their way out of the mess with the race whose only value is hunting. Not really clear why the surviving Hirogen didn't just destroy Voyager after they essentially won the conflict. Sure the Klingons showed up, but that didn't really change the balance of power all that much. Plus the Klingons were only armed with hand to hand weapons, even as great warriors I kinda suspect they go down hard when shot with a phaser or even a firearm.
We open with the conflict from the holodeck spilling into the ship. The Americans decide the hole in the holodeck is a nazi bunker and are shocked when Janeway and Seven return alive. They mess around for a long time and eventually Janeway is taken to her ready room and confronted by Karr, the Hirogen leader. He sees she won't surrender and explains his plan to fix Hirogen culture. She is willing to negotiate so he calls a cease fire. But his second in command gets pep talk from a nazi and shows up in the ready room and kills Karr. Then despite calling for her death for a while now he lets Janeway go. She gets Neelix to rally the Klingons and somehow the force a truce out out of the hunt to the death Hirogen. Janeway still gives them holodeck tech though despite that clearly being an awful idea.
Review: This half of the episode was all over the place. Sure it had some action, but their goals were pretty vague and the solution didn't make much sense.
