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?
 
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:

JANEWAY: What I'm going to tell you is going to sound hard to believe. Even preposterous. We think you were abducted from Earth in the 1930's and brought millions of miles through space to a planet on the other side of the galaxy. You were put into a kind of deep sleep for a very long time. It's not the 1930's any more. The year is 2371, over four hundred years from the time you were abducted.

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.
 
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.

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