voyager season one fans

I was always confused because in the UK, when buying Season 1 on video, episodes like The 37's were attributed to Season 1 not Season 2.

I always find that good TV series need time to bed in. For the characters to mature. I loved this season but you see the maturity of some characters develop over the later seasons.

 

Well, season 1 is quite short actually, the shortest season of all the ST series. So why not take a few episodes of season 2 and add them to season 1?

 

The first few episodes of season 2 was supposed to be a part of season 1.

 

Yes, that's what I heard as well.

 

I did not know that. Interesting.

 

You're here to learn, grasshopper.

 

Very true. I have been a lone fan for donkeys years so it will be nice to be filled in on facts I did not know

 

I could fill a library with the ST facts that I don't know.

 

I'm in good company then

 

There were some special reasons why the episodes "Projections", "Elogium", "Twisted" and "The 37's" were aired in season 2 in the US.

I don't remember what it was now, some sort of delay or whatever. But those episodes were produced as season 1 episodes and if you look at the stardates, the events are taking place in 2371. In "The 37's", Janeway tells Amelie Earhart:

When Voyager was aired in Europe, whatever caused the delay in the US wasn't interfering and the episodes were aired as season 1 episodes. I remember watching them that way andsince I already had watched season 1 on tapes rented from a shop in town, I remember that these four episodes were included as season 1 episodes too.

Funny enough, the region 2 DVD:s exprted to Europe I have bought has those episodes in season 2 but I still watch them as season 1 episodes.

 

It's funny because these extra episodes are quite uneven. "Projections" is rather good while "Twisted" is abysmal.

 

Thing is, when an episode is called "Twisted" you know it is going to suck.

 

Whereas whenever Dwight Schultz is in an episode,you know it's gonna be a good one.

 

I've always liked Twisted

Despite the flaws discussed here

 

I like all the VOY eps, so I enjoy season 1. Good stuff! Glad to see you posting about it.

 

Plus, The 37's is much better as a season ender, than as a season opener. (In the same vein, Learning Curve is a bad season ender, and Initiations is better as a season opener)

I always watch Season 1 as it was originally intended.

 

"Heroes and Demons" is the first Doctor episode and it's great!

 

I agree. I thought it was an interesting episode.

 

Twisted is bad but heroes and demons is good!??

You're mad....mad....as mad as mad Jack McMad the winner of last years Mr madman competition

Marjorie Monaghan was a hottie though

 

The Doctor aka Picardo can make anything he has an important part in, great. And so he does in this episode.
