Featured review
Here is a classic example of great Season Two of LOST IN SPACE.
Here is an excellent story/episode that in general seems to be greatly underrated by the picky, partial, artificial LOST IN SPACE fans.
This one has all you should want and need in an episode of LOST IN SPACE.
First of all, since it is so close to superior black and white classic Season One, it still has that beautiful, meaningful, warm, down home, and survival feel and look to it.
"Space Circus" could have almost fit in latter Season One.
This episode was the first of the series written by the writing team of Bob and Wanda Duncan, and it was the fourth episode, and first in color, directed by Harry Harris.
Both are relatively rare for LOST IN SPACE, as they both totaled only five installments for the entire series.
The guest cast is colorful and fun, and there are more guests than usual. I love guest star James Westerfield as "Dr. Marvello."
Melinda Fee as "Fenestra" is very pretty to look at.
Michael Greene played "Nubu," and of course, the usual "monster man" Dawson Palmer played "The Cosmic Monster" (from Super Nova 12).
The story is very warm and great, and it has the usual early series close family moments and stuff, the stuff that makes the episodes work best.
This episode had a guest composer doing the background incidental music scores, and it was the great Herman Stein, who was responsible for the spectacular epic music score from way back in episode number two entitled "The Derelict."
The episode even has a bit of fun and mild humor here and there, before the Season Two fun and humor really kicks into high gear later on.
The climactic scene is very good.
Everything is very good.
In great, classic, and definitive Season Two of LOST IN SPACE, we have a excellent warm example of the best colored style of the series.
This episode, and all like it are for the most part, completely better and on a higher level than the final psychedelic and overblown season, which is hardly real LOST IN SPACE anymore.
In almost every way, nothing in later Season Three can compare to the goodness of stories such as this, with everything earlier, and everyone younger.
"Space Circus" just gets better and better all the time..
