- TriviaThe creature that the hermit has on a leash is the same costume featured in an episode of 'Bewitched' called 'Allergic to Macedonian Dodo Birds'.
- GoofsYou would think that the Robot would be able to test whether or not Dr. Smith could still explode. Instead he engages the detonator to get the result, with Will standing right beside Smith.
- Quotes
Penny Robinson: Poor Dr. Smith. All he does is sit on a rock and stare off into space.
The Robot: According to my calculations, he must stay 50 yards away from all members of this party.
Penny Robinson: Are you sure there's a chance of him blowing up?
The Robot: The answer is positive. Dr. Smith has consumed a quart and a half of explosive. That gives him a concussion power of 15 sticks of dynamite.
Maj. Don West: Well, Dr. Smith isn't our only problem.
Prof. John Robinson: We got to get this force field working.
Maj. Don West: Let's give it a try.
Prof. John Robinson: All right.
[flips a switch on the force field device. An explosion is the reaction they get]
Prof. John Robinson: Well, just as I thought. We're gonna have to replace that energizing unit.
Judy Robinson: How long will that take?
Prof. John Robinson: A couple of days.
Will Robinson: But the aliens could launch their secret weapon at any minute.
Penny Robinson: Is there a chance of us taking off before that?
Prof. John Robinson: It'll take weeks just to assess the damage.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Lost in Space: The Prisoners of Space (1966)
"Forbidden World" is Barney Slater's first script this season, and he would be very active this year. Also very active by this time in the series was director Don Richardson, and this was his second input of the season. Guest star Wally Cox as "Tiabo," although nothing to get too scared about, was basically a serious character who meant business. He was just a scared and loner type quirky hermit. Really, LOST IN SPACE is still serious at this point..but it is about to gradually, gradually delve into the BATMAN style more comedic "LIS Lite" episodes.
Robert Drasnin is the guest composer here. The music is obviously not up to Johnny Williams style standards, but it is not bad and it works well with the story and with the quirky guest characters. This is another middle-of-the-road Season Two adventure for me, but slightly down into the lower half here. Season One and Season Two are now both officially 'grounded,' as far as an alien planet goes. But, as you know, the Jupiter Two will clippity-clop all across the heavens during its shorter Season Three run. Speaking of 'clippity-clop,' this is the very first episode where we hear the infamous Robert Drasnin "clippity-clop weeeeeeeeee" music at the very end.
