Plot

Notes

The whole Robinson family are supposed to be geniuses. So how come they forgot about the space pod? In fairness to the writers, the Space Pod wasn't introduced until the thrid season. However, those of us who are sticklers for continuity notice things like this.

Also, isn't it funny that Dr. Smith's "Skunk Cabbage" monster looks a lot like one that was used in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea? I think Irwin Allen has to win the award for recycling props and ideas!
