I offered a similar theory on my Crossover of "Lost Trek"...though it included the entire Robinson party.

But this was good as well.

If all the silliness never happened then Dr. Smith would still be the evil monster he was in the first few episodes.

Oh no, its like Dallas all over again!

great story. I think that this is the perfect explanation for those terrible episodes. I wish they would have stayed true to the idea of an adventure show.
