This is going to be my last post to Lysator for a few weeks, I'm
afraid.
I've got a heavy term ahead of me and I've taken on a few too many
outside
things as well.
Very cunning of you to flee the Lyst before anyone might point out that
(a)
your theories about Gan are all very interesting, but that doesn't mean
you
can go and retcon it back into the series,
I don't think she is. She's arguing from evidence in the series itself-- check it for yourself if you don't believe her. She's certainly convinced me, and I *like* Gan.
and (b) if Gan really was Ed
Bundy In Space, then maybe it would have got a mention in the numerous interviews with e.g. Terry Nation, Chris Boucher, and David Jackson.
Boucher once said "Actors act, writers write." So perhaps David didn't know, but as for the rest, well, the simple answer is: if the idea was never developed into a final script, would anyone other than Nation have known? And he's dead.

The serial killer was TED Bundy--Ed Bundy, reference very much intended, was the protagonist of the sitcom"Married With Children." Now THERE's a thought about Gan.

Thanks for this Dana. As a long-time denizen of Seattle, I knew who Neil meant, but the reference to Ed was too funny to correct.

Yes, well, I suppose that's my fault for being considerate to all you overseas people. I really wanted to refer to a British serial killer much closer timewise to when B7 was actually made, but I wasn't sure that everyone would have even heard of the Yorkshire Ripper, Philip Sutcliffe.
