Sue,
on one hand I totally agree with you in the sense that I doubt the
writers put much thought into developing the main characters very
much - as per any Gerry Anderson show really. So I do find it faintly
ridiculous that so much can be read into the small amount of screen
time these characters actually got. But perhaps that shows what a
good core cast it had.
But on the other I do like reading the theorizing (don't necessarily
agree with everything) and just wish the show ran for a couple more
series with some proper character development. But even if we had
gotten more eps it wasn't really Gerry's strong point of his shows
was it?!
Regards,
Barry
ps "I was too a fan"? written this way suggests you no longer are?!?
