This is an honorable mention in my book, this was a different kind of episode as it plays out like a Disaster film thriller, which is kind if ironic considering Irwin Alien is the king of that genre later. But I like that it was something different for this show and the sci-fi genre at the time because here the Robertson's are up against the elements which truly are a tougher force because it's a force that it beyond your own control.
Each sticky situation they go though is practically different challenges and we are in suspense the whole way, wondering how the Roberson's are going to get though this. Like when they drive to cross a lake, god forbid they run into any thin ice. Or even seeing how they had to deal with the blazing hot sun, which I'll admit made me hot just looking at them.
Even like a little of that subplot with Doctor Smith which gives us a little good insight into his character. We see this whole thing could be an opportunity to have the Robertson's crossed out, however there is just one huge problem; Smith isn't going to last long without them. Sure, he has the Robot but there are limits to what he can do, let alone isn't the best company. It really shows good does exist in Smith as he does try to warn the family about upcoming danger, showing he capable of caring. Ok, this is mainly for himself but at the same time you do sense there is a tiny bit that isn't just for him.
Can the Robertson's survive the elements you'll have to wait and find out.
Rating: 3 and a half stars.
