In 1966, “Lost in Space.” Hey, plants have feelings, too! This is the theme of “The Great Vegetable Rebellion.” The Jupiter II module is orbiting a planet that appears to consist only of flora when Doctor Smith (Jonathan Harris) jumps ship. Down on the planetʹs surface, the scheming stowaway is captured by an overgrown talking carrot. It may look like it stepped out of a bad commercial, but on this planet, veggies rule! The Space Family Robinson saves the mewling doctor just before he is turned vegetative himself. Lettuce be thankful. Yes, “Lost in Space” has run out of ideas. Only one episode will follow “The Great Vegetable Rebellion,” which may or may not have inspired the 1978 movie “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.”

He opened the door, but no one was there. He heard a woman's scream and ran back into his room and bolted the door, but he continued to hear the chains. Then Barnabas' voice called out to him, and again he shouted, "Who are you?" The voice told him that he was not going to hurt any more innocent victims. He would never live to see the hanging. Trask saw a skull instead of his face when he looked in the mirror and then blood dripped down the mirror from behind the frame. The voice shouted that she would live and he would die. Next he saw a floating hand with Barnabas' ring on it. The hand appeared and was about to grab Trask around the throat, but then vanished. The voice told him he would not die tonight or the next but very soon, "You are going to die!"
