[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Season 1 was fantastic. I was lucky in 1995 - I friend brought back with him the night after it had aired the pilot - so I got to see Caretaker in Australia the day or two after it was screened in the US. Probably only a very small handful at that time - probably no one else. No downloading episodes then. Anyway he eventually got the next 6 episodes over from his relatives. It was great being able to watch all these episodes so soon. Parallax was good - it wasn't FANTASTIC - it didn't end how I thought it would - but the anticipation was still there after the fantastic pilot. The series in season 1 had an actual direction and focus. Parturition was I think the official first episode of season 2 (filmed) and it was C-R-A-P. Soooo bad. From then on it had really lots it's energy. But going back to season 1 Caretaker, Parallax then Time and Again. FANTASTIC episode for such a new series. What else? State of Flux was AMAZING - with Seska. And the episode with the Space folding where Tuvok went against Janeway. Then there was Eye of the Needle. Eps like Cathexis and Emenations weren't so fantastic. And "The Cloud" was another obvious bottle. Ex Post Facto was so so. Jetrel was bloody amazing. Thanks to James Sloyan. Heroes and Demons was original and REALLY good - and fun. Kim and Chuckles were sucked up and nearly died!! Persistance of Vision was FANTASTIC. I really like that episode. And yes, even though it was released for season 2, it's a season 1 episode. I think Australia might have even seen the last four eps of Season 1 before the US - cause we have the videos and those episodes come on videos 1.9 and 1.10. It has the tape release date on the back - I should go up and check one day and match it with those episodes original air date! Even learning curve was good - and it gave us a few other characters. The series pretty soon dropped it's energy and enthusiasm a lot. While being 'not bad' it wasn't 'good' either. Most of season 2 - except for a few stand outs and most of season 3 were shokers. Some of the stand outs... Prototype, Deathwish, Deadlock and Tuvix for season 2 and The Chute and Remember for season 3 which just plan reaked up until the dramatic turn-around at "Before and After" There should have been more Kes episodes like that. After that for the rest of the season we get Real Life, Distant Origin, Worst Case Scenario and Scorpion - which were all corkers. Even WCS which was basically a bottle episode. [/QB][/QUOTE]
