Great new sections, Matt!  Smiley

I really enjoy your portrayal of Ginny.  Most writers (especially male ones) tend to stereotype her, which unfortunately was also what Gerry A. did in the series.  In spite of all that, however, Wanda Ventham had the wisdom to infuse her character with more personality than she was given, and if you watch her onscreen for a while, you can see it without difficulty.  I'm glad you always saw it and shared that insight about her in your stories, because it makes the rest of us go back and check her out once more on our own. She's a great character with a lot of potential.

One word; backstory. An aspect which was lacking in many TV shows, including UFO. Gerry and his team of writers developed the characters as the series progressed. It would have been interesting to see how the character of Virginia Lake would have evolved if she had the benefit of being in more than nine episodes.

I think Wanda did a great job of bringing Ginny to life.  Wink

Nice pics for your story!  And the ending was wrapped up nicely.  Good job, Matt! And especially good that you were able to complete a story with real life getting in the way!  Smiley

I am moving out of my daughter's home next week and will finally have time to myself again after two years.  Perhaps I can finally finish a few of the stories that have been dangling for so long!  Tongue  No worries.  It's not family issues or anything bad.  Our current house is just too small for all of us and I finally found a place just a block away that will suit me.  Besides telling me a couple times a day that they will miss me when I'm gone, the girls are taking the move well.  Especially since I have promised them sleepovers at Nana's, which they haven't enjoyed for a long time!  Smiley
