Notes

  • The main guest actor here is William Smithers.  I know him VERY well as Jeremy Wendell from Dallas.  He and Larry Hagman are in probably my favorite individual scene from all 356 episodes of Dallas together.
  • The last “proper” episode of Season 2.  While there is one more episode after this, that one was an attempted pilot for a spin off from Star Trek that didn’t fly, and the overwhelming majority of that story is angled towards the story for the attempted spinoff.
  • The entrance to the caves in this episode was also used as the entrance to the Batcave in the 1960’s “Batman” TV series.

There isn’t anything special here, I just liked the camera angle as it was one we hadn’t seen to this point.
