Charming - for the space era -, December 16, 2010
This review is from: Lost In Space Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
The poor, Robinson family - still lost! Well, at least at this point, it was still an adventure. After all, they were meeting aliens who were bright enough to speak to them - with British accents, no less!
This episode finds the family - well, part of it anyway - in the midst of a fairy tale. "Sleeping Beauty" comes to life for them with the young actress who played Gretl in "The Sound of Music" as the sleeping princess awakened by a reluctant kiss by Will - he was prompted to do this by The Robot. I suspect that her "Sound of Music" sister, Angela Cartwright, couldn't be in scenes with her - otherwise, the audience might have burst into song and ruined the "serious" notion of the episode!
To be honest, this is a charming episode, offering child-like (not childish) themes that captured the hearts of the children who grew up watching them. Well-casted, it offers a combination of space race and fairy tale that is sure to please the less jaded among us. Go into it with wonder and appreciation for the world that the actors place you in and enjoy it!
