Land of the Giants

In "Deadly Lodestone," Kobick has an office within walking distance. Here, he has to drive a considerable distance from his office (where the photo is) to the local police station where Steve and Fitzhugh are being kept.

50-year technology gap: a chemical substance/pill that can enlarge an Earthling to 12 times their "normal" size, and reverse the process

Within walking distance: a previously unseen police station and a "science center".

This is the first produced episode to feature Kobick (fourth one aired), but the Earthlings still know him by name.

Where did Kobick get the ground-level picture of the little people that he uses to determine Steve's identity? And if someone was there to take Steve's picture, why didn't they just capture him?
