Even if you don’t like Star trek: travelIt is difficult not to smile while watching “The 37’s”, the episode of the first season 2 of the show. It was an episode that featured to travel landing on a planet to Captain Janeway rubbing the elbows with Amelia Earhart, making it one of the most memorable adventures of the franchise. It was an adventure that was completely changed, because it was originally supposed to be the final of season 1, and a large producer fought to make this autonomous story an episode in two parts.
The idea that Star trek: travelThe first of season 2 of season 2 was almost his final of season 1 may seem strange until you consider that the first season of this spin-off had only 16 episodes. It was because Traveler was broadcast on UPN and network leaders have deliberately retained certain episodes so that the second season of the show could present two or three weeks earlier than most other programs. Consequently, “The 37’s” ended up launching the second season when it was to end season 1 (which ended rather with “Learning Curve”, a lame episode on the formation of the unhappy Tuvok of the former maquis.
While Traveler The episode really made a first of the memorable season 2, it is easy to see how it was originally written to be a final of the season. Having the ship landing on a planet was a big problem … In fact, Gene Roddenberry wanted to be able to do it with Star Trek: the original seriesBut the high production costs of this is what led to the invention of the carrier. In addition, Janeway meeting Amelia Earhart was a big problem, and the idea of the crew meeting 20th century humans equaled the atmosphere of the final of the TNG “The Neutral Zone”.
The network’s decision to take the “37” of season 2 rather than the final of season 1 annoyed Jeri Taylor and Brannon Brannon, two of the producers to travel. Taylor noted how this episode “worked better as a seasonal season than as a worker” and his intrigue on the crew regrouping, reaffirming their mutual commitment, and going home “would have been a great way to conclude the first season”. Braga, meanwhile, was disappointed that the series could not finish season 1 with this “episode of action-adventure with very high concept”, but it was happy that the Traveler Episode made a first first of explosive season 2.
Braga was less happy with the fact that it was not a two -part episode. He later said that he was the only one in the show that “the 37” was a two games, but no one else really wanted to finish season 1 on a cliffhanger. As for Braga, he thought that there was a lot of crunchy narrative material in this ambitious episode which would have deserved a second hour of narration.
Once upon a time, “The 37’s” was almost very different: it was not only nearly, but it was originally conceived as a final of season 1. However, we cannot help prefer this Traveler The episode as the first of season 2 … Of course, “Learning Curve” was a lame S1 final, but “the” 37 “helped to prove how good this show could be when it was pulled on all the cylinders. And, frankly, Nothing We make us stay for a new season of a show more than this type of first killer.
