*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

The writers of "Lost in Space" were beginning to drift from the sci-fi adventure to fantasy, mixed with a dash of morality.

Loosely based on "Alice Through the Looking Glass," the twenty-first installment of "Lost in Space", finds Penny falling through a mirror that is a portal to another dimension where the only inhabitant are a strange teen (Michael J. Pollard) and a rarely-seen "hairy monster," as Pollard's character puts it. Naturally, the only other member of the Robinson clan that knows the truth about the mirror is Dr. Smith, who ends up in the same dimension. However, he accidentally helps himself and Penny to escape, with the boy behind due to his inability to leave.

Like the previously aired "My Friend, Mr. Nobody," Angela Cartwright gets to take center stage, though almost another year would pass before she was the featured star.
