"The Day the World Ended" is one of the better installments from Voyage's third seasons. Though it features a brief "monster bit", a gimmick that would place prominently in the show's final two seasons, it hearkens back to the more "serious" tone of the first year as it tells a taut tale that combines political intrigue and mystery.
Former child star Skip Homeier is good as the U.S. senator with something more than just a investigative visit up his sleeve. The script allows him, as well as all the principal cast members some valuable screen time. Even radio operator Sparks, played by Arch Whiting, has a few more lines than usual.
Impressive use of stock footage of San Francisco and New York add to the story. Also, the Fox backlot serves as a passable Washington, DC.
