Personally, I find all the speculation makes for very interesting reading.
Certainly FAR better than NO traffic in the group. I'm sure that after so many years, any question about the series with a DEFINITIVE answer has been gone over at least a dozen times.
Perhaps people ARE looking for things that may not be there, but it IS very thought provoking.
If you feel you have something more significant to contribute, feel free. Short of that, I think you'd be better off not trying to rain on the parade of others in the group.

Hello:
I've been reading these posts for a while. I was too a
fan of this very short lived show as well.
Does anyone else think that all of this talk about one
or two of only 26 episodes, 35 years after they aired,
may constitute wildly over-analyzing the situation?
What I mean is, this show is pretty straightforward.
Trying to discern minor subtle personality differences
between characters that even the writers of the show
could not have possibly fathomed is a little absurd,
is it not?
I can see how fans of some show such as "Dark Shadows"
with 1200+ episodes can glean little things out that
others may not know, but I can't see that with UFO.
In short, I think you folks are just looking for
things that are simply not there.
