    • Trivia

      ADD TRIVIA
      • Where did the Earthlings get a periscope and a laser drill? Neither of these were seen in any first-season episodes, and would have been handy in a few of those. Edit
      • Within walking distance: a drug store Edit
      • 50-year technology gap: A working "hydraulic" robot Edit

    • Notes

      ADD NOTES
      • This episode marks the first use of the laser torch and the periscope. Edit
      • Clips from the new opening are: 1) The Spindrift flying into the space warp, 2) Dan and Steve being passed over by a car, 3) Fitzhugh and Barry being attacked by a giant cat (all from "The Crash"), 4) Steve fending off a giant hand (from ? ) and 5) Steve fending off a giant gopher with a flare (from "The Weird World"). The clips fill in the words "Land of the Giants", going counter-clockwise from "the" ("Land" is above "of the" above "Giants"). Edit
      • Mark, Valerie, and Betty get new wardrobes. Betty's is substantially...baggier, to conceal her pregnancy. Edit

    • Quotes

      ADD QUOTES
      • (tall-telling for the giants) Fitzhugh: The woman is known only as "Betty." Truly the Devil's handmaiden. Edit
      • Fitzhugh: Barry, I guess sometimes I don't know what I'm talking about. Edit
      • Steve: Mark's too much. Give him some tools and he'll fix anything. Edit
