Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis contains the first occurrence of what will become Dr. Smith's most oft-spoken iconic line - "Oh, the pain, the pain."
- GoofsAs Doctor Smith walks across a sandy area, you can clearly see that the sections that make up the background don't match and you can see the seams in it.
- Quotes
Prof. John Robinson: What're you doing? Making yourself a necklace?
Will Robinson: No. Maybe something for Penny. Girls get so gloopy sometimes. Can you imagine bawling because you imagine your imaginary friend is mad or scared or something? Only trouble is, some of these rocks are hard as diamonds.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Star Trek: The Next Generation: Imaginary Friend (1992)
Featured review
Nobody Somebody
This is my fourth favorite episode of the show, of course what really makes this episode stand out is that it's one focused on Penny. I've always liked the Penny character, she's one of my favorite characters in the show, let alone the fact when I was a kid, I had a crush on this character/actress (I state I was a kid mind you). What I've always felt was unique about her was that despite a person that does science she was never really scientifically minded (at least not on the same level as Will) but is open minded which to me is her edge as she not just has a love for the arts but is more open to the possibilities out there. I even liked Angela Cartwright's performance here which was great and which even more makes me wish her character and the actress herself had more.
This episode is different as it is more the fantasy approach. Penny is talking and befriending an unseen alien entity that seems to be almost God like. This alien entity in a way predates the character Ego from "Guardian's of the Galaxy 2" only difference this alien entity is good. It's a very interesting and touching friendship between the two as both have something in common as their both lonely souls and from their conversation scenes, they can fill the void. I really like the psychology in this episode in our need for companionship, our need to fill a void in our lives, to be able to express the feelings within ourselves for another. Though also a bit of philosophy on the concept of believe and love.
I really like how much we side with Penny because despite the family's skepticism, we know their wrong because we heard that voice with Penny, let alone Penny didn't move that bolder herself to go into that cave channel, also none of the family members explored it, therefore their skepticism is void as they have no hard evidence either to disprove Penny's claim. There are good moments like one scene when Penny is unconscious, we hear Mr. Nobody's voice and there is genuine emotion in it as we hear concern and hurt not knowing if Penny is alive or dead.
Really like the last scene where we see Penny is caught up in the storm which is Mr. Nobody's wrath toward the family, he mistakenly thinks is responsible for what happened to Penny. Really love the emotion we hear from Penny which is just beautiful.
Love that is true is boundless.
Rating: 4 stars
