  • Not as good as I had remembered.

    I haven't seen the pilot before but many of the other episodes on afternoon reruns in the 70s or 80s. Similar feel to Lost in Space but without good characterizations. I see Fitzhugh is the Dr. Smith of this group but after the pilot, he kind of settled down into a team player of sorts (& wasn't anywhere near so fey-thank God). The rest of the cast are all stock characters that I have a hard time keeping apart. The 2 girls are interchangable, the 3 young toughs have a token black. The kid is cute & wise. The captain gives Fitzhugh an earful but not Ms. Scott who got them trapped? If they are about 4 to 6 inches high, those spiders shouldn't be bigger than they are unless the giant world is radicallly different than ours. In fact, I always thought they had gone back to our world in the past & shrunk since they speak & write in English and drive Mustangs, etc.moreless

    As first episodes go i thought \'The Crash\' was brilliant, here we learn how they became stuck in a Giants world. Even in the first episode you could see Fitzhugh becoming a very annoying character although i think superbly played by Kurt Kasznar. Also the Dog was to become a real annoyance for me as it seemed to always land them in trouble. The episode itself is really enjoyable..infact i personally think one of the best, we meet all the main characters, and also see a giant cat and a dog and then there\'s the giants. One thing i remembered whilst watching this episode was my brother having a crush on Deanna Lund, infact i think he only watched because of her..lol. Not my fave episode but one of the best.moreless

    • As the Spindrift heads directly toward the space warp, the passengers look out a side window and see the warp as well. Edit
    • The cat is way too low in the scene where Mark sees it through the doorway. The bottom of the doorsill is only a foot or two off the ground: the bottom of the cat's neck is at the same level. It would have to be in a deep hole for the angle to be correct. Edit
    • Many of the episodes span the course of a single night. With a 1-to-12 scale, this means the little people can walk about 2-3 "giant" miles a night. So everything we see them walk to in all the episodes is all within 2-3 miles of everything else they walk to. This means a lot of giant buildings are absurdly close to the Spindrift site(s). Within walking distance this week: an entymologist's lab Edit

    ADD NOTES
    • The opening of this episode starts with the opening credits, and then the episode begins with no credits. The show runs until the first commercial break, and then the story credits are shown. After this, all subsequent episodes would have a brief teaser before the opening credits, then show the guest and directing credits immediately afterward. Edit
    • The opening credits here and throughout the first season, in order, are: Burton, Matheson, Arngrim, Marshall, Lund, Young, and Kaszner. Kaszner is irregularly listed as a "Special Guest Star". Edit
    • The date of the flight June 12 (1983) is Irwin Allen's birthday. He was born on June 12, 1916. Edit
