Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Robot's statement, "There are more jamming potentials on this planet, Will Robinson, than can be computed by my computer banks," is a variation of, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, / Than are dreamt of in your philosophy," from Hamlet, Act 1, scene 5.
- GoofsWhen the Robot exits the Pod, in the next instant he's shown on the ground, but the Pod has no ramp.
- Quotes
Sgt. Smith: There will be no apology , Smith. We have just checked you out. Your name is Zachary Smith?
Dr. Zachary Smith: Of course it is.
Sgt. Smith: Mine is Horatio Smith, Smith. And whether I like it or not--and I don't--you are my great-great-great-great grandfather.
Dr. Zachary Smith: Am I in--I am? Oh, good heavens. Oh, my dear boy. You are my great-great-great-great grandson? Well, let me look at you. Yes. I can see the resemblance. I think I'm going to cry. What a magnificent specimen of manhood you are--just like me! What a credit to the name of Smith!
Sgt. Smith: Except that Zachary Smith has shamed all the Smiths, Smith. You know what it's like to live under a cloud? To have a finger of scorn pointed at you... because you-- yes, you-- besmirched the family name?
Dr. Zachary Smith: I? Are you suggesting that the family name was besmirched by me?
Sgt. Smith: Were you or were you not the fifth columnist in the Jupiter expedition?
Dr. Zachary Smith: Certainly not.
Sgt. Smith: Were you or were you not the master saboteur?
Dr. Zachary Smith: No.
Sgt. Smith: Were you or were you not the sly, Machiavellian menace during the entire Robinson voyage?
Dr. Zachary Smith: Well, I...
Sgt. Smith: Answer me! Answer me-- yes or no?
Dr. Zachary Smith: How dare you!
Dr. Zachary Smith: [Talking to the Robot] Did you hear these foul slanders?
The Robot: I did, and they are not slanders.
- ConnectionsReferences The War of the Worlds (1953)
This hour is not so much a quality time travel hour (Oh well) but rather a mix of things seen and heard in other sci-fic TV hours of the 1960s. Attention Star Trek fans! The alien voice artist for many 1960s Trek hours, such as The Guardian for City On The Edge Of Forever, lends his deep tones for an alien machine in Flight Into The Future. And he sounds identical to how he sounds in Star Trek. It must have been confusing for this artist to remember which space series he was on? On a low-budget stock-this and stock-that level, this hour is a bit like the coming soon Target Earth episode. Both Flight Into The Future and Target Earth could be viewed as poor, but if you forget the obvious, too obvious, budget problems, you will have a year three ball with them.
Added note: The 1998 LIS movie got ideas from this hour.
