Captured by the mysterious Captain Kraspo (Robert Foulk), Penny (Angela Cartwright) is told that she is not a member of the Robinson family, but instead the long-lost Princess Alpha of the planet Beta. As the plot runs along its Anastasia-like course, Penny finds that the duties of royalty also include vanquishing a horde of hostile computers! The supporting cast includes a pre-Laugh In Arte Johnson and producer Irwin Allen's actress wife Sheila Matthews--and as a bonus, Angela Cartwright dons a blonde wig to portray the real Princess Alpha in the final scene. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In this wonderfully Wagnerian episode, Dr. Smith (Jonathan Harris brings the wrath of Valhalla down upon the Robinsons when he steals the gloves and hammer of the Norse god Thor (Bern Hoffman). Now Smith must engage Thor in mortal combat, lest everyone suffer mightily. Amazingly, Thor is vanquished, whereupon the neurotic deity loses all his confidence--leaving Valhalla vulnerable to attack from giant aliens. Sheila Matthews, the wife of series producer Irwin Allen, does a neat comic turn as the "Yo-do-ho"-ing Brynhilda...helmet, sword and all. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Although John (Guy Williams) has warned his son Will (Bill Mumy) to stay away from the matter-transfer "maser beam" left behind by the Taurons in the earlier episode "The Sky is Falling", Will activates the device to keep Dr. Smith (Jonathan Harris) from messing with it. Instantly, the beam transports Will all the way back to earth, where in addition to searching for some much-needed carbon tetrachloride to help repair the Robinsons' ship, the boy also attempts to tell the citizens of a rural community who he is and where he comes from. But the locals don't believe his story--after all, weren't the Robinsons supposed to have perished in space?--and prepare to pack Will off to an orphan asylum. Featured in the cast is Sheila Matthews, the wife of Lost in Space producer Irwin Allen. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Bizarre weather patterns bring blizzards to the American southeast, and Nelson (Richard Basehart) seeks the help of a scientist (Milton Selzer) who may hold the answer.
