I watched all of Irwin Allens breakthrough shows. This was a great show of a small, futuristic passenger Space Craft (The Spindriff) that gets caught on it's return orbit into a "space warp" that throws them light years away to a planet filled with "giants". The series dealt with thier survival on this world from week to week. A sort of futuristic Gullivers Island, the passengers of this show, led by Capt. Steve Burton. As "little people", they were highly sought after by the giants totalitarian Gov't systems agency call SID, and constantly were dodging attempts by SID's main agent played by actor Kevin Hagen. Although the stories were very good, (special effects were "corny" by today's standards) Irwin Allen tried to bring across the political point, as this was during the time of the early Super70s, and the "Cold War" between the US and Russia was at it's strength, the "giant" society was a no-brainer to see was a type of totalitarian Russian society. I would have liked to have seen some closure to this show before it went off the air, such as them finding thier way back to Earth. But, as is typical of Irwin Allen shows, they all never quite had closure. Supposedly, the actor who played Capt. Burtons Co-pilot, Dan, wrote a new screenplay for a new series that, I heard, he was trying to sell to Hollywood. Wether that will ever happen, we'll never know, although a big screen remake of the show would be awesome with today's technology. . .
