  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Supposedly alien planet: human names again Edit
    • Since Brady doesn't seem to do anything about Goalby and Lisa, why can't the Earthlings use Goalby as a continuing ally: he certainly seems helpful enough. Edit
    • Supposedly alien planet: Cole Porter lyrics! The Giants don't seem surprised or puzzled at the existence of this song, so presumably they have Cole Porter, Judy Garland, and the 1948 movie The Pirate on their planet (see Cultural References below). Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • Squint and in one scene you can see a costume in the background that was borrowed from Lost in Space. The costume was originally worn by Don Matheson, in the episode "Revolt of the Androids." Edit
    • The Spindrift exterior and interior sets are not seen in this episode. Edit
    • Mark doesn't seem to be having a good day: Fitzhugh gets away with slapping him (and Betty snickers in the background), while Dan gives him a rather curt answer to a dumb question he asks (see Quotes) Edit

  • Quotes

    ADD QUOTES
    • Mark: He's caged. How did he get her? Dan: (sounding rather disgusted) He reached out and grabbed her! Edit
    • Goalby: This seems to be my day for helping little people. Edit
    • (to Betty, without any apparent irony) Fitzhugh: You can help by staying out of trouble. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Fitzhugh and Betty: Be a clown...
      As puppets, Fitzhugh and Betty sing and dance to the Cole Porter number "Be A Clown", as performed by Gene Kelly and Judy Garland in the '48 movie The Pirate. Edit
