I will wait to see the epsiode. But come on, in yet ANOTHER seven story, she's kidnapped by some alien race and forced to fight in some galactic wredstling match. This is not going to be some great episode on the "human spirit," and its not going to be an integral part of a multi-year story arc like "in Inferno's Light" was a part of the dominion arc.
And I know that trek is an enterprise, and it has to get ratings to make money to survive. I'm just disappointed that Voyager can't write good stories to get ratings, put has to pull out a story like this.

Whining about a little airlock?! They took down the entire Promenade!! That's my favorite place!
That's Jeffrey Combs in the first picture? No!! they've blocked his cuteness!

AndrewR: Yeah, I see that it is a reuse of the DS9 airlocks. I totally love the design of those doors, and while I don't have a problem with reusing sets, I think they should be altered enough that we can't point to a low res picture on the internet and recognize where it came from!
But does anyone else think that the ring (from the third picture way up there) looks like the bottom of the Stellar Cartography set from Generations?

J.G. Hertzler is the Hirogen. Combs is the guy who kidnaps all these people and forces them to fight. He's not in the pictures. Besides, Combs doesn't look tall or strong. Hertzler does because he had been cast to play Martok.

I'd say there's no need to think that the Hirogen or the others can really travel across great distances. After all, the gamesters could simply be employing somebody with long-range kidnapping technology to keep the arena manned. Plenty of races have had that sort of tech, the cases most relevant to this episode being VOY "Caretaker" and TOS "Gamesters of Triskelion"...
