A pretty good episode with a fine ending. Just at the moment O'Reilly, the Giant helper, assaults a man, you might wonder "what in the world have our heroes come to?" They're making this guy do some pretty bad things. O'Reilly wonders the same, lamenting that he doesn't know who to trust, who is good and who is evil.

Captain Steve realizes the problem, comes clean with O'Reilly about the humans not being leprechauns, and helps O'Reilly escape the mess the humans have gotten him into.

So it's a lot of what makes this series good - the human element, the little folks being good people, acting with good hearts in a bad situation.

We again get to see what happens when the humans have a giant sized ally. O'Reilly gets them more materials and tools than they've been able to gather their whole time on the giant world. Too bad it never really amounts to anything as the series progresses.

Good old Jonas Grumby/the Skipper from Gilligan's Island (Alan Hale) makes an appearance as O'Reilly in this episode. He believes the little people are Leprechauns; since he is afraid they will put a curse on him, he assists them in acquiring supplies to help them return home.

It is interesting how the planet of the giants is so similar, even down to its Irish superstitions and folklore. It seems clear that their planet also has its own version of Ireland!

It is nice to see Betty back again since she will be absent once again in the next episode NIGHTMARE. She is actually seen in many scenes throughout the episode.
