One more time the writer Peter Packer follows the ordering of his big boss Irwin Allen in another giant monster, well until here nothing atypical indeed, although display a giant spider underneath the ocean is too much for the show, in absence of new ideas go ahead anyhow, this turn a brainy scientist Grantt (Mark Richman) is testing a newest fuel on a experimental sub (Seaview isn't enough a nuclear power?), instead they expose a kind of chemical fuel pressure in a small cylinders, turns out that this sub ends up in a giant net's spider in deep ocean, even got escaping Grantt want goes back to kill the monster.
To predicable storyline, seemingly it already happened in others previous episode, one thing draw my attention, Admiral Nelson was really sick on this episode or something, whenever he stays they shot behind of his body, certainly replaced by a stunt, all orders coming from a mic, also the emblematic Del Monroe somehow almost disappears of the show, lowering in a couple sequences if so, in other hand Riller (Alan Hunt) routinely appears side by side with Craine or Nelson, instead Chip Morton just appears on the show when he has take over the Seaview's command, in fact a waste of talent, he should more exploited as interesting character, Chief sadly died early in 1965, a true loss felt indeed.
Thanks for reading
