The Delta Quadrant is a bit of a rough place. I seem to recall the hirogen starting out as giants, but ending up human size in another episode - probalby because it was just too much trouble to keep them giant sized for production. 

Relentless merciless hunters and professional prey - there was an episode of DS9 that featured something similar coming from the Gamma Quadrant. Stargate Atlantis also played this theme with Ronan being one of the runners. 

So Lar'ragos has to be a bit of a badass for the hirogen to use him that way...

Thanks! rbs

Lar'ragos has a gift for attracting bad situations, but as this tale demonstrates, he rationalizes it through his belief that he's deserving of it.

Thanks for the feedback!

Stark and bitter. Something must have happened to resign him to his fate, something more than just being hunted. A "moment of clarity" perhaps, a situation where he realized the evils he'd committed. That would make an interesting chapter, IMO.

Author's Response:

I think with Lar'ragos it was a long road (pun intended) to get to that realization.  Sometimes it takes a significant event (or a series of them) over time to make a person realize the rationalizations they're clinging to in order to excuse their behavior just don't hold up any longer.

Thanks for commenting!

LMAO! And I do remember this one. I remember that it was pretty damn intense, and it still is, even just looking back on it. Intense, disturbing and enlightening all.
