- TriviaTwo episodes were written for this series but never shot...
ACES LOW: Two World War 1 air corps pilots - one French, one German - accidentally tap into the Land while dogfighting. Christa and the Porters convince both fliers to put aside their differences. However, amid efforts to return them to turn-of-the-century Europe, Kevin lets it slip that Germany will lose the war...*and* that there will be a Second World War, even more tragic than the First, two decades thereafter. The German ace decides he can win the First War, and prevent the Second, by using Shung's power-crystal...which he accordingly steals. What he doesn't know is that, if Germany does win, Tom's parents will never meet and thus he won't exist - which means that neither will Annie and Kevin!
FINE PRINT: Annie struggles with homesickness...tempered with Kevin's frustration that numerous people come and go from the Land of the Lost, yet the Porters are never among them. That's when a beautiful red-clad young woman, who calls herself Lucy, rescues the siblings from a Sleestak ambush. Lucy explains that she can send the Porters back home, provided they sign a pact with the Devil; indeed, her name turns out to be short for "Lucifer"! Annie, Kevin, and even Christa agree to Lucy's terms; yet Tom hesitates to do the same, despite Annie's speculation that the Land actually *is* Hades. Ultimately, Tom's suspicions regarding Lucy prove correct; now he must draw on his experience as a lawyer to save the souls of his kids, and of Christa.

Featured review
As a major fan of the original Land of the Lost, I was excited to hear there would be a remake. I was unsure whether it would be a retelling of the original story, or something new. I was disappointed by it initially, but it grew on me over time. It would have benefited by having better writing! Having missed the first episode, I was confused by Christa at first. I thought maybe she was supposed to be Holly, years later! Even though it turned out to be an "alternate universe", and not the original Land, I still enjoyed it. Christa was great, with her pet triceratops. The Sleestak were OK, but I felt like they should have been called something else - they were more like orcs than Sleestak. The one part that bothered me the most was that the family never ran out of batteries or fuel! Maybe it was some mysterious unknown quality of the Land... batteries never die!
