*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
"There Were Giants in the Earth", the sole episode directed by Leo Penn, was culled from the unaired pilot. One might think that the director had little to do when much of it had already been filmed; however, Penn and the scriptwriter were able to craft a truly great and exciting installment, adding dramatic tension between the Robinson family and the then-sinister Dr. Smith (Jonathan Harris).
The confrontation between the diminutive Robinsons and the giant is thrilling, especially when John (Guy Williams) and Don (Mark Goddard) are trapped in the cave, trying to elude the giant's hand. An especially good effect is a closeup of the fallen giant's face through the side of the Chariot as the family drives by.
