Does anybody keep track of all the episodes? I know almost all of them, except a few that I might have missed. If any of you know all of them, or know where I can find out all the names, don't hesitate to reply. oh the pain the pain the pain ... --gregbo

If you must give us Lost in Space trivia, please get it right. Dr. Smith did come into the Jupiter 2 when the countdown was at 1hour and 14 minutes and HOLDING. He was hiding in the "store away couch", NOT naping. He did his work on the robot and left. At approx. 0-5 min. he came back in with the lauch crew (who turned off the Robot) and after the launch crew left, he had to turn the thing on again. He took a little too long in doing this and as a result, missed the closing of the hatch. You were right about Dr. Smith blasting open the freezing tube that West was in, but that was very soon after the launch (at about the time that they went through the meteor storm caused by Smith's added weight). Finally, the robots orders were destroy the ship 8 hours after launch. He didn't quite do it, but it was close. JBB - ihnp4!honet!barry

RE: JBB's account of Dr. Smith's presence: How could anyone's added weight cause a meteor storm??? Mysterious gravitational fields must permeate the space between here and Alpha Centauri! Dave Decot decvax!cwruecmp!decot

Dr. Smith's added weight did not cause the meteor storm. It caused the Jupiter II to drift off course into a meteor storm. It was later revealed that if Dr. Smith hadn't been on the ship, the Jupiter would have crashed into an uncharted asteroid and killed its passengers. (This was in the episode Time Merchant.) --greg decvax!genrad!mit-eddie!gds
