"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
He makes a wild stab at getting home in the one that takes place on a desert planet. The problem, really, is that he has no idea how to achieve his goal, and nobody particularly wants to help him. Actually, S1 is the only season where home is a reached-for goal. It becomes a fear/byproduct in S3-S4, and I thought tended to be handled badly.

My problem right now is the gang has no direction.
From what I remember, they were trying for a more stand-alone show, but arc-iness crept in as season 1 progressed. I don't think it ever got Buffy/Babylon 5 arc-y, but it got to at least late DS9-level.

Only familiar with Buffy, but I'm glad it gets more arcy, although I don't mind a stand-alone show either. It's just not working well as one. And thanks Dana for the link.

Primer link is probably outdated because I am a ginormous slacker.

Works well enough for me. Although I guess I'm a little outdated too.

You want me to write Batman singing torch songs, don't you?
That ain't right, man. That's so not right, it lives in Wrongityville.

The primer's still there. I checked. And you are not an enormous slacker. Loser.

You know you want to. Feel free to throw in zombies or pirates. You do great zombies and pirates.
