Eight Out Of Ten Sci-Fi & Disaster

Warning: Spoilers
The Day Washington DC looked like Gotham City? When the guys walk the streets of Washington it is actually a 20th Century Fox set that was also used as Gotham City in Batman (1966) sometimes. And while on Washington, this hour features totally NEW footage of the Flying Sub moving over the city that is a knockout. They say season three had a small budget but they spent big at the start of the season!

The story itself, about everybody in the world slowly vanishing, is outstanding, but the hour gets two points taken away because the answer to the mystery is just too hard to swallow. As my IMDb review history reveals, normally I can turn a blind eye to the many holes in Irwin Allen story telling, but for some reason I just can't go along with this one. At least the ending in given humour when Nelson responds to the explanation by brushing it off with "Yes, something like that, Chief".
