Lost in Space: Kidnapped in Space (1967)
Season 3, Episode 3
7/10
Oh, those silver-skinned aliens. Don't they ever go away?

Warning: Spoilers
A trademark of every Irwin Allen show is the silver-skinned alien. He or she may pop up solo or in groups as they do in this LiS installment from season three.

Male and female ones enlist the aid of Dr. Smith (Jonathan Harris) to "operate" on their mechanical leader.

Highlights of this episode include the first appearance of the Space pod, the over-the-top hairdos of the female aliens, and Dr. Smith discovering a "fountain of youth," of sorts.

Turning Smith young is a novel idea that is marred by the decision to have the nine-year-old actor playing the youthful Smith "speak" with Harris' voice.

It probably sounded "cute" on paper but it comes across laughably in execution.
