- 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)
For years I refused to do IMDb episode reviews of many second season Lost In Space episodes (like this one) because I knew some people would love my reviews while some others (some massive fans) would hate them. How does a middle aged man like me review an hour of TV best known as "The Big Bird Hour"??? Look, I am not even going to go into "The Bird".
Let me centre on the good things in The Forbidden World. Normally, I am not too big on the look of the studio bound second season alien planet set, but the planet actually looks so colourful and nice here: partly because of the dark lighting.
But more importantly than all this, the dramatic spacey teaser of this episode is one of my very favourite moments of the whole Lost In Space series.
