Even if you don’t like Star Way: JourneyIt is difficult not to smile while viewing the 37 -th, the premiere episode of the season of 2 season. It was an episode that showed everything: from landing Voyager to the planet to Captain Janeve, rubbing the elbows with Amelia Erhart, making it one of the most memorable adventures of the franchise. But it was an adventure that changed completely because it was initially the final of the season 1, and one major producer fought to make this autonomous fairy tale in the episode in two parts.
The idea that Star Way: JourneyThe premiere of the 2 season was almost its finale 1 season until you note that in the first season, Spinoff had only 16 episodes. It was because Voyager A broadcast on the UPN, and the networks were intentionally led by some episodes so that the second show’s second season could premiere two weeks earlier than most other shows. As a result, the « 37 » ended in the second season when it was supposed to finish the 1 season (which instead ended with the « curve », the lame episode about the training of the extinguished former poppy.
While this Voyager The episode really made for the memorable premiere of the season 2, it is easy to understand how it was originally written to become the finale of the season. Having ship land on the planet was a big deal … Actually gin Rhodenberri wanted to do it with this The stellar path: Original seriesBut high production costs for this is what led to the invention of the transporter. In addition, Janew Amelia Erhart’s meeting was a great thing, and the whole idea of a crew that faced people from the 20th century was in line with the mood TN Final 1 season « Neutral Zone ».
The decision of the network to make the premiere of « 37 -x » premiere 2 season, not the finale of the season 1 angered Jerry Taylor and Branan Braga, two voyager producers. Taylor noted how this episode « worked better as a season than as a discover », and that his story about the crew unites together, confirming their mutual commitment and heading home « would be a good way to conclude the first season. » Meanwhile, Braga was disappointed by the fact that the show couldn’t finish the season 1 with this « very high concept, episode of action-adventure Voyager The episode was made for such an explosive premiere of the season 2.
Braga was less pleased that it was not an episode of two -story. He later said he was the only one on the exhibition, which wanted the « 37th » to be two-story, but no one else wanted to finish the season 1 on the cliff. As for Braga, he thought that there were many crunchy narrative materials in this grand episode that would earn the second hour of the story.
Once upon a time, « 37th » were almost completely different: it was not only almost two-story, but initially it was designed as the final of the season 1. However, we cannot prefer this Voyager The episode as the premiere of the 2 season … Of course, the « Training Curve » was the lame S1 finale, but « 37 » helped to prove how good this show could be when it shot all the cylinders. And, frankly, nothing Forcing us to follow the new show of the show more than this type of premiere.
