Lost in Space: Princess of Space (1968)
Season 3, Episode 17
1/10
Non-sense, Utterly Stupid
2 January 2023
Princess of Space is stupid and terrible. It is a mess.

Watch this only if you want to view every episode. It is on par with some of the very worst Season Two episodes.

About two thirds of the way though it, Major West has a very appropriate line. Judy asks him "what are we going to do?". He responds "As soon as this non-sense it over, I'll figure out a way to get us out of this"!

Penny is kidnapped because she is believed to be a lost princess. The episode feels a lot like Season Two's "Mutiny in Space" and is almost as bad. The bellowing is toned down just a little, but made up for by name calling that is neither funny nor villainous. Just about every attempt at humor falls flat.

And there is plenty of overacting, especially by (Angela) Penny.

A minor bright spot is Penny dressed like a princess interacting with "Aunt Gamma". It has a Wizard of Oz Good Witch/ Dorothy feel to it (probably intentional). But even those few moments can elevate this totally stupid non-sense.

Prof Robinson and Mrs. Robinson only appear briefly.
