Series Two
In an effort to make the characters more lively and entertaining, the show's producers deliberately altered Koenig's character in the second series. Although still a forceful, no-nonsense leader, Koenig also displayed a lighter, more humorous side to his personality. He lost the lonely, brooding side of his personality and seemed to make more snap decisions without the input of his advisors.
He was now on a first-name basis with Alpha's senior staff. His relationship with Helena Russell became more open and affectionate, even flirtatious. On occasion, this was a detriment as aliens would attempt to coerce or influence Koenig by threatening Helena (see The Exiles, One Moment of Humanity and Brian the Brain among others).
As the second season was more action-oriented, Koenig also had more chances to display his fighting and combat skills this time around (see Journey to Where, The Rules of Luton, The Dorcons).

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“A sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify himself.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“Rosalynn said, “Jimmy, if we could only get Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat up here on this mountain for a few days, I believe they might consider how they could prevent another war between their countries.” That gave me the idea, and a few weeks later, I invited both men to join me for a series of private talks. In September 1978, they both came to Camp David.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
