sacrificially worth it,in spite of budget issues

I realize that they had budgetary issues that might be evident in it,but I must agree that the theme of self-sacrifice was indeed a valid one,regardless of any script opinions.The way the empath showed compassion,projected the pain of others on herself,and even healed.Hmmm..theologically mirrors a similar character that we all know who Im referring to!(and it's a Good thing!)True,with all the dark corners of this "underground lab..cost-cutting could easily be inferred,but..how many other 60's shows did the same thing?Irwin Allen's sci-fi series were notorious for this.Anyhow..it's interesting what can be redeemed in spite of working with limited raw materials.
