Reactions and Reviews
1982
‘Silver Lady’ is also strong and strikingly well-written, with a clean power that tears your heart, but frustratingly, it barely introduces its complication – Hutch is shooting up heroin and doesn’t want to quit – before it stops. [1]
‘Silver Lady’ was a thoroughly unpleasant exercise in emotional manipulation. The characterization is so unbelievable that I was left wondering who these men were. A good general rule is that any behavior that contradicts what we saw of the characters in the aired series must be adequately explained by the author of the story in question. There is no explanation in SL. [2]
My least favorite was 'Silver Lady' only because it was such a downer. [3]
‘Silver Lady’ was a confusion; I think I know what she was trying to do, but it never came off. The idea of Hutch whining that he doesn’t want to try anymore and thus reverting back to heroin addition as an escape – nuh-uh. I don’t buy it. [4]

I just don't like unhappy endings and I won't read them. I'm sure there are some damned good stories out there with horribly unhappy endings... Silver Lady (I think that's the name of it, from a zine), is one that comes to mind... I read the story, it had a brutal, unhappy ending and I felt raped! because the writer didn't feel that Hutch was strong enough to kick the heroin habit... and the relationship wasn't strong enough between them for him to be able to survive... [5]
