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).
