Aware of a lackluster episode Richard Basehart probably alleged some health problem to sneak away from that crying shame another monster hour, and he did the right thing, let to his stand-in Gary Merrill gets by for his own, in another hand also lost in mind Capt. Crane, as well, both have a never to receive another mad-scientist now embodied by an old acquaintance of us John Dehner as regular guesting star on Irwin Allen series, so just leaves the audience expecting a surreal storyline about a fishmen.
As usually done in previous episodes, the story carries on so the bleak Borgman (Dehner) already chased and cursed in US's Navy strangely was forgiven and he has another opportunity to carried out his mad scheme to create an amphibious man aiming for supplying it to US's Navy to replace the men in dangerous tasks, instead Borgman wants dominates the oceans around the world for at own benefits (please don't asking me what's hell he got the Navy's consent whoever gave it, addressing it to Irwin Allen's staff), well the remains you can assure yourself watching this blasting hour set (lo and behold) in missile room, could it be worst?
Well there are many, all shelves at Seaview rooms are loosen, they don't bolted them at sub-floor whatsoever, in any sudden shake all them falling down, how about a single maneuver, to worsening the producer poses a meager puppet fishmen on the fishbowl, by laser beams Borgman makes puppets into a fishman, later a giant one, well is better watch it than any current series nowadays, at least it's too funny at all.
Thanks for reading.
