Seven of Nine is abducted and forced to fight in Tsunkatse; a form of alein combat which is televised for the entertainment of the Nordican system. Chakotay minds the store.

Neelix tries to enhance the plasma burners in the galley stove with Borg technology. "I don't want him turning the galley into an assimilation chamber,"says Janeway. History does not record whether this happened.

I actually read an article in Startrek mag about this episode.
Apparently they wanted it to show Seven of Nine loosing control of herself and her emotions.

It scored what I believe the Americans call a 'Negative Impact'. Apart from the obvious erotic context of an attractive woman being thrown around a wrestling ring (I understand ratings were up for this episode?)

The idea might have been right. But they needed to prove there was something to loose first. It was just another calm and calculated parade. No panic or desperation anywhere.

Episodes like Dark Frontier, Unimatrix Zero, Raven and One did far better.

I loved this episode. It just showed that Seven can kick some serious Hirogen butt!

I so agree. I loved 'The Raven'.
