The Derelict | Episode Clip | Lost in Space

[@delavalmilker]

This episode kept millions of ten year-olds glued to their black and white TV sets back in 1965. I know, because I was one of them!

I was 7!

Those J2 engine sounds are remarkable.. 60yrs later and still give me goosebumps

[@seanmcdonough4902]

Always loved the J2 engine sounds !

[@thefurrybstard1964]

Always loved the design of the Jupiter 2. Simple, elegant and functional. A spaceship *_and_* a colonist home all in one.

[@leifskjoldal8042]

Greatest Hollywood engines ever

[@seanmcdonough4902]

AGREED !

[@marklafrance8141]

Definitely a favorite as it's number 2 of the first 5. The best first 5 episodes of a television series ever in my opinion!

[@phantomcruizer]

Watched this TV series when it was first run, and l was 7 years old. One of my favorite episodes. Love that engine sound!

[@michaelbell6350]

The sound of the Jupiter 2 engine inside the hull of this alien ship!

[@bobsandler4563]

What a great scene and what an amazingly original space ship. Love it.

[@kennysherrill6542]

My favorite show before Star Trek, still in love with Penny, five are still with us.👍❤️🇺🇸

LOVE the JUPITER 2! - the ultimate cozy WINNEBAGO camping ride with family and friends through the stars!

[@lostinspacecollectibles]

The best!

[@BasementBerean]

I watched some of this show as a child, and I'm working my way through the episodes now. This one was great. It's nice to see the Jupiter II land without crashing.

[@George-pp2hr]

One of the most incredible filming of its time. The Jupiter flight around the unique looking derelict ship is just superb. Great scene and very surreal. Truly SciFi.👍✨🌟💫

[@MauiMark1]

Yuppers I’m another “old” guy now that saw the original airing and for decades beyond re-runs. Liked the stories. Especially Father & Son, Family and adventures. Never got into Dr. Smith. Other elements were great. The music was perfection. Who knew all those years ago that it was the great John Williams. Yes. Star Wars, Indy, ET, Memoirs of a Geisha and SO many more!!

[@rumbers]

Would love to see Williams pay homage to Lost In Space with a big modern orchestra on TV one day. For some reason it always gets omitted. I read somewhere that his children still think it's his greatest work!

[@rayl7335]

I loved how smoothly Irwin made fly the J2 around the Derelict in these seen. For me the spaceship it is a work of art in its design. During the late the 60's I used to put two cardbord together and play with'em in many adventures. One day during the 90's I sarted my collection of all the models available till the 00's..

[@jameshouk1879]

I was also impressed by the moving shadows of the alien ship against its own hull as it rotated -- very realistic.

[@Pisti846]

Great special effects all done with models. Terrific.

[@oldgoat142]

The first season was definitely chocked full of great stories. Maureen Robinson doing a spacewalk a couple of decades before a woman really did it for the first time? The story about the antimatter universe where Don and John found their anti selves? Great stuff!

[@captainpoppleton]

as a kid i found the antimatter episode scary

[@oldgoat142]

@@captainpoppleton Great story.

[@woodrowwildcat3286]

When that landing gear came down in 1965, I was hooked for life.

[@lostinspacecollectibles]

@@woodrowwildcat3286 One of my favorite scenes of the J2!

[@DrMark504]

Watched this episode and #3 2 nights ago. Only episode that shows the lower view port open from 5he outside on the model.

[@historybuff66]

At the 3:00 mark the captivating Jupiter 2 engine sound was used again in “Planet of the Apes” when the spaceship Icarus makes its entry into the atmosphere, prior to landing in a lake.

[@bomat761]

Correction: crashed into the lake!

[@historybuff66]

@@bomat761 I stand corrected…”going…going…gone”.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO "COLLIDE", WE'RE GOING TO GO INSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE THE JUPITER 2 SPACESHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Earl_Richter]

Anybody else think this is where George Lucas got the idea for the Millennium Falcon being magnetically pulled into the Death Star in A New Hope? That scene always makes me think of this episode.

[@historybuff66]

This or the similar scene in the S3 episode “The Condemned of Space”.

[@peteralcuri4205]

The escape scene is the best

[@davidjakiela9553]

In the early episodes Dr Smith was a cold-blooded killer. Biggest mistake they made was turning him into a bumbling fool later on

[@historybuff66]

That was entirely Jonathan Harris’ idea.

Wait a minute, I've seen that texture before.... Is that advanced alien spacecraft's surface made out of Styrofoam? Ingenious, call NASA!

[@captainpoppleton]

"Great idea, we'll use it on Columbia."

[@RobertGoldman-o2p]

If Dr Smith had not shot the Lazer at the creatures while they were in suspended animation, maybe the Robinsons wouldn't be charged with crimes in Space when the show switched to color.

[@Peter-f4o4z]

😂

[@ronsapp]

Early on Don was the pilot,later with Jonathan taking over so much screen time John was more into flying the ship.Lots of things shifted...

[@pavelsarneki354]

Yeah. Boy, the heat 🔥 from that comet would have burnt it to a cinder😮😂. 🤓😎✌🏻😝

I blame John. He was far too blasé about the potential danger. West knew but followed orders.

[@rongrabia6406]

When Doctor Smith was trapped on board The Jupiter 2 he was wearing a Class-A Uniform! Question: wear did Doctor Smith get the Jumpsuit?!?!

[@FrankStrickland-t7t]

GET TO THE BACK OF THE SHIP!!! yeah... That'll work 🙄

[@mirimar69]

Before it went all funky on us🙄

[@deanevangelista6359]

“Oh the pain!”

[@teedup8995]

Maybe, but still more entertaining than a lot of stuff produced today.

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

0:33 What the heck is Dr Smith saying in his call back to earth?

[@historybuff66]

“Aeolus 14 Umbra”…a designated secret code name.

[@hipsterdoofus1026]

Well Don warned them 🤷‍♀️

[@MrDevy99]

I loved the show as well growing up. The first seasons first episodes were the best. Unfortunately it became somewhat corny. It was the following year in 1966 that star Trek came out on the screen and perhaps took away an audience who wanted something more serious and realistic. I still liked Lost in Space and as i kid have some fond memories.

[@scdoty777]

Doctor Smith was a Commie agent in first few episodes and a very flamboyant man. Show went downhill when colorized. Just imagine the implications of rainbow colors!

[@bomat761]

Run to the back of the flight deck … meanwhile the whole ship is going into an alien craft, lazy writing.

[@eugenemason9675]

WHO EVER CAME UP WITH THIS ALIEN SPACE SHIP GREAT JOB, LOOKS VERY SPOOKY AND SCARY WHEN IT OPENED UP THATS THE PART THAT REALLY GOT ME NOT TO MENTION THE BUBBLE CREATURES IN SIDE MAJOR WEST WAS RIGHT ABOUT DR SMITH GOING OFF BY HIMSELF LOOKING FOR SIGNS OF LIFE ON THE SHIP .📺📺📺📺📺📺📺🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬

[@FRACTUREDVISIONmusic]

As a kid, this was the most frightening episode so far. What was that thing? Who made it? What's inside? OMG it's got a mouth! It's eating the Jupiter! So dramatic! I'll always resent Jonathon Harris for turning the show into a vehicle for his annoying af character - I wanted to reach through the screen, pull him out and throw him in the trash cans on the curb outside.
