Up, Up, and Away in My Beautiful, My Beautiful Balloon...

Warning: Spoilers
This episode is one of those episodes where fantasy is more in the mix than science fiction. It is silly episode which requires a viewer to suspend one's disbelief even more than usual.

Our castaways are said to be traveling 500 miles per hour in an air balloon going against the wind current. Oh, sure! They are traveling to a society on the other side of the ocean that is inferior to the other side where our castaways are from, yet they also have computers.

Interesting allusion to THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939) where an hourglass is used to gamble with someone's life. When the sand runs out, death will be imminent.

No Betty once again. The producers could have filmed a few insert shots to be placed into episodes if they wanted to establish some continuity of characters.
