The one rule was that the aliens were not allowed to kill the Voyager crew members, because the whole point was to create a game that could be replayed over and over again, as a way to preserve, in a more controlled environment, the hunter way of life that the aliens' leader saw as no longer practicable in the real world. His subordinates ultimately couldn't get on board with his ideas, because, to them, simulated violence just couldn't compare to the real thing.<br /><br />A great set of episodes, more relevant now than ever!Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826787550676541006noreply@blogger.com
