YMMV / Star Trek Voyager S 4 E 15 Prey

• Badass Decay: Species 8472 is every bit as dangerous on a personal level, but it's notable that Ensign Kim was nearly eaten alive by alien cells thanks to a single swipe from one, whereas this alien avoids killing anyone in a clear bid to make us feel more sympathy for the 8472 alien as opposed to the Hirogen hunters.
• Strawman Has a Point: Seven of Nine notes that if they take the moral high ground and save Species 8472, they will be killed by the Hirogen. As we see later, she’s absolutely right. Of course, it's also true that with her help creating a singularity, they could have sent Species 8472 home and left by the time the Hirogen arrived.
