Didn't really watch Voyager, and most of what I know comes from Memory Alpha readings. So, let me get this straight: Hogan gets eaten in Basics Pt 2? Is this the first (only) incident of a Trek character getting devoured?
I blame Neelix more for not getting eaten with him... though my luck the lizard worm thing would've spat him out and eaten Hogan anyway.
Trains going into tunnels. Classic symbolism. Kathryn must feel like an idiot for not picking up an extra Hogan in Deadlock.
I apologize for my crassness. I was amusing myself while crushed into a crowd of teenagers wearing antennae hats and holding oversized toys (it's the melbourne show, the second worst time to travel on the train). I could blame it on difficult phone editing encouraging me to post the first thing that comes into my head except really, that's what I usually do
As to the OP's question.. well was he? The only person in Trek to be eaten by a creature, a real creature not a pulsating light entity. I don't think Yar counts as that oil slick was still too weird ass to be an animal. Didn't someone get eaten in Shore Leave?
Does eaten from the inside count? Dexter Remmick went that way some time before "Conspiracy". Timo Saloniemi
Tuvok thought there was an invisible monster eating children once. Not even close. They just barely had the budget for big space beasties that would consume our heroes totally, rather than just suck out the salt, genius creativity, moisture or red blood cells.
Poor Hogan was eaten inside the cave. If he'd been a bit further from the cave, he'd have been eaten out... Now if only Hogan had been a woman that joke would work better...
Okay so I misremembered Shore Leave and apparently every other wild animal attacking Star Trek memory I had was also an illusion created by powerful beings to terrify the puny humans. Could this be Hogan's claim to Star Trek fame? (Guy I hadn't heard that word felching in years, I remember when it was all the rage to mention it on mailing lists of yore so hapless folk would look it up )
