Before I saw 1966, when my viewing started up again in 2002, Vicki seemed to me to be someone with intelligence and sense with the capacity to figure out things, which for some reason had been switched off. A smart, centered person who nonetheless hasn't got a clue. Contradiction like these are irritant factors. As a child, I just disliked Vicki. She was little miss sensible who was out of the loop, as most "very sensible" people have always seemed to me. Stodgy.
From 2002 on, after getting my tapes of DS, Vicki seemed very likeable, but always missing the point. It did seem as if there was a clueful Vicki out there somewherre, probably in the dim, misty, mysterious early days of DS that I hadn't seen. That turned out to be true, after I finally saw 1966-7 in 2011.
