The Don/Judy Project
Season One
Introduction
This starts a major project that is designed to take my favorite couple through each season of Lost in Space. It follows the Back Story that I recently wrote, so there will be references to it. I've tried to summarize each episode, and also take direct lifts from the TV script, and I want to give credit to the writer of each show for those lifts as well as the stories themselves. The names of the writers are written in parentheses next the episode title as it appears in the story. The dialogues written by these writers are in bold.
This has been a tedious, though thoroughly satisfying, project so far. I finally get to add the scenes involving Don and Judy that I so wanted to see when I was an adolescent watching it in the sixties. I have combined episodes in the interest of getting through this project in the space of a year, rather than three. When we reach the end of Season three, I intend to continue the story, as I envision it. I'm looking forward to that!
Oh, and, by the way, I need to say that the characters were created by Irwin Allen and I think are still owned by his wife, Sheila Allen, or Fox. (I turn my eyes to heaven.) So, thanks, Irwin. I also want to thank Mark and Marta for bringing their chemistry to the screen and breathing life into their characters. You ignited my imagination then, and have again as I revisit those old shows.
My intention is to post once a week - on Wednesdays whenever possible - I hope you enjoy (to steal a phrase from Miss Katie M.'s review of my BackStory) being with 'old friends' again...
