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:
“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
