On a new alien planet, John Robinson is hunted down by an alien. Just about every 1960's adventure series did the "manhunt" storyline seen here: even Get Smart did it once. Irwin Allen's Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea did an outstanding black white take on the theme called: The Enemies. Voyage got David Hedison / Malachi Throne hunting down Richard Basehart on an island.

Vincent Beck, who plays the alien trouble maker in Hunter's Moon, also played an alien in voice only in the final 1967 episode of Irwin Allen's The Time Tunnel. Hunter's Moon is beginning to sound a bit un-original but the hour is actually a knockout. Guy Williams (John Robinson) really gets a chance to shine here, act four has some outdoor filming for once, and we get a classic Jupiter-2 crash landing done with John Williams music going on all thrusters! With the exception of a silly scene in act two, Hunter's Moon is played straight.

This is just good solid adventure...the way I like Lost in Space to be. As for actor Vincent Beck, this is without question his best hour on the screen.
