The issue about getting a fans perspective on the Kazon is that said fan has to remember the Kazon. They were incredibly forgettable.
Voyager takes place tens of thousands of lightyears away from Federation space. The whole plot is them trying to find their way home while running into new alien species. Vulcans, Klingons, Romulans, Ferengi… all that is gone and we need to start over. So they go back to the drawing board to make a bunch of new alien species for the show. One of the main ones being Kazon.
They were seemingly designed to be a hostile faction that really liked war. They had forehead ridges, jagged teeth, a very particular hair style and their skin color was predominately darker. If that sounds familiar it’s because it’s basically just the klingons. Only issue is that these guys had none of the history that the Klingons did. Just Klingon Lite. Also didn’t help that they were wildly misogynistic. The society was entirely patriarchal so women were treated as second class citizens.
They lasted two seasons. The last time we really saw them on screen was the first episode of Season 3. Anything since have been passing references.
They were just kind of a lazy, badly written species that had nothing going for them and are best left relegated to the scrap piles of history.
They were also ugly as hell compared to the other races introduced by VOY. The most interesting to me was the fat blue dudes that sat cloaked and spied on ships, asking an AI about what to do next, that started spying on the doctor seeing his new dream program and thinking it was real. I always forget the race name… I think they only mention it like once. 🤣
I forget their names too. I remember they allied with some of them in “The Void”, I think season 7. But we see them a couple times. That and the episode you mentioned is at least 2.
I made another comment very proudly saying the wrong name. There are so many random alien species that don’t end up mattering that I got them all confused.
You’re talking about, I think, the Overlookers. The ones who spied on the Doctors dreams, right? They were part of the Hierarchy
So… Kazon? I’m sure I could Google it, but I’m curious to hear a fan’s perspective (I watched TNG growing up but that’s about it).

It makes sense now, ancient alien guy is an alien in disguise! Why didn’t we realize that sooner?
Holy shit that dude is apparently 100% a Kazon.
That’s amazing.

You’re not talking about the Hirogien, are you? Spelling is probably off. I’m not as well versed in Voyager as I’d like to be.
No, those were the (culturally) Predator type dudes that once captured Voyager and forced them into WW2 sims playing as the Nazis.
The aliens I am referring to only appeared in 2 episodes, iirc.

Yes! That’s them. I thought they were pretty cool. And cute. :3
Glad to help!

Kazon…poor man’s super misogynistic Klingons.
Yeah, that absolutely sums them up correctly.
Remember the Family Guy episode where Peter had his own theme music? The Kazon Theme.
Diet Klingons basically
