People often poke fun at Irwin Allen, because of the tendency for his series to get stuck on 'monster or alien of the week' in Lost in Space and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. But here, the viewer gets a lot of background and context about Halley's comet. And we learn about some aspects of astronomy and phenomena that can affect observations. That is really nice!
We see some good, old-time character actors here that fans may recognize from Westerns. Lee gets to show some quick thinking, good to see this fine actress do more than turn control knobs. While I enjoyed the episode (I'm working my way sequentially through the Blu-ray set) I notice that Tony (James Darren) tends to "run hot" during his performances. His character is very excitable and his intensity level is super-high much of the time. I prefer Doug (Robert Colbert) who is the calm type--way more so than Tony!
This is a good episode and most viewers (who aren't scientists) will learn something about astronomy.
