The Lost Civilization has some good parts, but wanders around and has major holes in the plot. It starts out as an excellent Si-Fi adventure and then sandwiches in a non-sensical fantasy. It is an un-even episode at best.
Prof Robinson, Major West, Will and The Robot take the Chariot in search of water in a heat wave. They end-up taking refuge in a cave to avoid a meteor storm. When Prof Robinson and Major West are working on the Chariot, Will and The Robot go exploring. So far the story line works well.
An earthquake sends Will (and the Robot) down a pit. Apparently Prof Robinson and Major West don't feel the quake (which would seem impossible). They go looking for Will and The Robot and end-up finding them in some underground world with a princess. About at the point where the princess is discovered is where the plot goes sideways into fantasy.
She is the leader of the hostile aliens. The scenes with the hostile aliens are subpar. They finally escape as everything collapses.
On the plus side, Dr. Smith does not dominate this one, since he is absent for almost most of it.
