Fearing disassembly, Verda the android (Dee Hartford), last seen in 'The Android Machine' (S.2, Ep. 7) takes refuge on the Robinsons' planet only to be pursued by IDAK Alpha 12, an unstoppable (supposedly) super-android hunter-killer machine. The Robinsons take pity on the increasingly human-looking/acting gynoid and offer her protection while Dr. Smith tries to resurrect the temporally incapacitated robo-assassin as his personal 'muscle' in a battle against a furry white ape-like ruby-eating alien (I kid you not). The story revisits the hoary old sci-fi Pinocchio-trope of artifacts aspiring to be human but the humanising epiphany of Alpha 12 is rushed by the desire to increase the episode's 'action' by bringing in a super-super-android (this time a classic 'Terminator' - you know the type..."doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever"). Dee Hartford makes for an attractive distaff simulacrum but I liked her more as the silver-skinned innocent in 'The Android Machine'. Once again the writers have no compunction against arbitrarily introducing convenient devices that inexplicably have never been used before by the frequently threatened space-castaways (in this case, a 'Disintegrator Capsule'). Much of the episode is played for laughs, notably the silly 'fighting' lessons Smith gives to the be-cloaked silver man-droid and the Robot's frequent wisecracks. Considering the frugality of the sets and props in recent episodes, the huge android-vacuum is fun to see. Add a karate gi to the odd assortment of things that the Jupiter 2 was going to schlep to Alpha Centauri.
