Very Disappointing
|
As the third season of "Land of the Lost" opens, an earthquake strikes just as Rick Marshall opens a time doorway. Before his children, Will and Holly, can reach him, he falls through and the doorway closes. Will and Holly aren't alone for long as they find their Uncle Jack has landed in the Land of the Lost while looking for them. They soon discover the earthquake has destroyed the cave they were living in and take refuge in a temple, along with Chaka, the only Pakuni to survive the earthquake. The Marshalls have to deal with their old nemesis the Sleestaks, fight off dinosaurs including Torchy, a fire breathing dinosaur, and various other threats, all while trying to reach home.
The third and last season of "Land of the Lost" was very disappointing. The loss of Spencer Milligan as Rick Marshall was a shame, although Ron Harper did a good job as Uncle Jack. But the show was sloppy overall. Gone were such creative characters like the Zarn from season two. Instead, the writers threw in a series of unbelievable visitors to the Land of the Lost: Medusa, the Abominable Snowman, and the Flying Dutchman to name just a few. These visitors seem to have no problem escaping from the Land of the Lost, although the Marshalls have been looking for a way to get out for years. Holly even gets a pet unicorn and bakes a cake in one episode - where'd she get the ingredients? Chaka is now a regular character and can speak perfect English, with no explanation why. Most of the episodes focused on the Sleestaks blaming anything and everything on the Marshalls and saying they must be destroyed. Wesley Eure sang at the end of a few episodes, seemingly backed by a full orchestra.
Also disappointing is the lack of extras. Outside of some stuff with Ron Harper there aren't any extras. It would have been fun to hear Wesley Eure's and Kathy Coleman's thoughts on the third season as their commentary on some of the episodes was one of the highlights of the DVDs from the first and second seasons.
There are a couple of good episodes from the third season, notably "Timestop" and "Scarab", but most of Season Three of "Land of the Lost" is a disappointment.
