It's because these "official" novelizations retained these early draft ideas not just in a particular episode, but throughout the course of the entire novelization series that I could never latch on to them. There was always something missing I felt by changing the dynamics of things from the way I saw them unfold on TV, so that's why I came up with the idea of doing these kinds of adaptations that don't change the basic essence of what we saw unfold on screen. To me, Boxey would have been a much more annoying character if he'd been an orphan rather than Serina's real son.
