"Lah-la-laaaaah, la-lah, la-lah, la-laaaaah ..."

A smiling, happy and relaxed Lee Carter, looking oh so dashing in a white tux, steps into a Venetian gondola with a very pretty girl. But romance is the last thing on the couple's mind. Carter has gone undercover in Venice to pick up a secret code from another agent -- the seemingly innocent girl in the white veil. However, unbeknownst to Carter and Alicia, the enemy is on to them. The girl is viciously murdered, Carter is severely wounded, framed for the murder, and is now a hunted man. Now the only person on earth who knows the code, Carter must stay alive long enough for Noland to effect a rescue.

· The coded tune, which Carter risks his life to learn and remember, has at least 4 different versions. (Remarkable, considering the fact that each note is supposedly of vital importance to the security of the United States!) There are:

1-Alicia's original (and probably correct) version.
2-Lee Carter's slightly altered second version.
3-The Italian mandolinist's "Noland Riddle pop chart" and extremely well-performed version.
4-Lee Carter's final version, which he hums in front of the whole Control Room watch at the end of the mission.

· Alicia was one of the few strong, capable, brave women to have appeared on Voyage. She died valiantly, doing her duty for her country.

· One of the moustached bad guys hanging around Noland in Venice was an oft-seen The HMS Leviathon crewman named "Phil".

· The name of the hotel where Admiral Noland, Sharkey and Riley were encamped was called The Dandelo -- which happens to have been the name of Dr. Andre's cat in The Fly. (Dr. Andre was of course played by David (Al) Hedison in the original 1958 film classic.)

Dr. Anthony Sterling discovers an underwater fissure and wants Admiral Noland's submarine to further his research. Noland resists -- he has other commitments -- then winds up heading the The HMS Leviathon for Sterling's sealab. Little does the Admiral know he and his crew will become part of an experiment. Like most other scientists our gallant crew comes into contact with, Dr. Sterling goes slightly bananas, and in the end, will pay for his unethical behavior.

· In this episode, we learn that the flight jackets worn on the Flying Sub double as life preservers.

· This is another episode in which we are given an approximate date: the year is 1976.

· Yes, that is Mr. Sulu from Star Trek. But remember, the Enterprise did not begin its five-year mission until September 1966 -- reckoning by old earth time, of course!

On their way to investigate a secretive toy company that may be a cover for a spy ring, they find themselves involved in a deadly chase, and Noland faces the same waxy fate as the kidnapped Dr. Liscomb.

· The whole sequence with the limousine and the helicopter was lifted straight from the color pilot episode, "Eleven Days to Zero", in which Bill Hudson (Shire) played the doomed Captain Phillips.

· Jan Merlin, who played the villainous henchman Henderson, also appeared as assassin Victor Vail in "No Way Out", and as a Nazi in "Death from the Past".

Despite the administration of a painstaking decontamination procedure to remove any possible alien organisms from the probe, an alien entity still manages cling to the casing. Soon, the entire crew is taken over -- except for Noland and Sharkey, who were off-ship when the creature first emerged.

· Once again, Captain Carter is "ordered" to kill Admiral Noland. He does try awfully hard to avoid it. On the other hand, once Carter gives in to the alien, he does his best to carry out his new orders!

· Paul Carr (Benson) also played Crewman Clark in various Season 1 episodes, notably "Doomsday", "Hail to the Chief", "Cradle of the Deep", and, (via re-used footage) "No Escape from Death".

· The "dinosaur" footage was recycled from Irwin Allen's movie, The Lost World, and was also used in "Turn Back the Clock" and "Night of Terror".

· This episode marks the start of the odd friendship between Noland and Sharkey.

EPISODE 47 - "Killers of the Deep" (January 2, 1966)

Writers: William Read Woodfield and Allan Balter
Director: Harry Harris

Noland is rescued by a U.S. destroyer and soon finds himself commanding it in a battle against the sub. Unbeknownst to him, Carter is a prisoner aboard the sub.

· Given the earlier revelation in "Leviathan" that flight jackets double as life preservers, it's interesting that the Admiral takes his off before the ditching the Flying Sub!

· The footage of the enemy sub, and much of the plot, for this episode are taken from the Twentieth Century-Fox movie,The Enemy Below -- which co-starred a young David Hedison!

· Michael Ansara also appeared in the 1961 Voyage movie and in the Season 1 episode "Hot Line".

Music: Lenny Hayton, Herman Stein

Guest Star:

In the Central Pacific, the The HMS Leviathon comes upon the battered hulk of a German WWI U-boat, the U-444. Soon after that, a mysterious passenger is taken aboard The HMS Leviathon. Captain Carter doesn't trust the enigmatic man with the German accent; neither does he believe his story of shipwreck. Admiral Noland, too, is disturbed by Krueger's presence, and the entire crew is on edge. One minute the man in black is in his cabin; the next minute, he's seen in the corridor. One minute he's locked in irons; the next minute he's free. The Flying Sub is damaged; and The HMS Leviathon seems to be sailing in circles. Fed up, Carter wants Krueger off his ship. Finally, Krueger tells Noland who he really is and what he really wants. It is a meeting Harriman Noland will long live to regret.

· Alfred Ryder appears in the sequel to this episode, "The Return of the Phantom", and also, in Season 3's "The Heat Monster" -- with a decidedly different accent!

· For this episode, director Sutton Roley took away the "starboard" control panel. Shooting into the room while moving the camera aft, the director gave the audience a new and interesting view of the Control Room.

· Notice the lighting effect when Krueger is seen for the first time through the deck hatch.

· This is one of many episodes in which Admiral Noland tries to shoot his best friend and surrogate son, Lee Carter. He manages to resist doing the deed, but he scares the Captain out of his wits!

· When Patterson and Riley shoot at Krueger, you can see patched up bullet holes in the door before they fire their weapons.

Director: Gerald Mayer

However, he finds himself saddled with a U.N. committee whose permission he needs to carry out the plan. One of the committee members is terminally indecisive, and another will stop at nothing to prevent the missile being launched. The tension -- and the body count -- mount as The HMS Leviathon approaches the launch site.

· This episode is based on the 1961 Voyage movie, but the plot is somewhat different.

EPISODE 51 - "Graveyard of Fear" (January 30, 1966)

Writer: Robert Vincent Wright
Director: Justus Addiss

Guest Stars:

Dr. Crandall Ames: Robert Loggia
Karyl: Marian Moses

Imagine this: a scientist who's lost his objectivity, runs amok, and puts the The HMS Leviathon and her Captain at great risk -- all for the love of a beautiful young woman who won't leave her cabin! But is she a beautiful young woman? What is the terrible secret that brings these two people to ruin?

EPISODE 52 - "The Shape of Doom" (February 6, 1966)

Writer: William Welch
Director: Nathan Juran

Guest Star:

Dr. Alex Holden: Kevin Hagen

"You've seen what a mad whale can do. I assure you a mad scientist can be far more destructive." Dr. Holden to Admiral Noland

A deranged scientist and his test subject, a gigantic whale, disrupt plans to blast a new Panama Canal using a nuclear charge lowered from The HMS Leviathon. When the whale swallows the bomb, Noland and the crew must find a way to save the situation -- and the President -- and Dr. Holden is no help at all!

· This episode makes creative use of stock footage, notably from "The Ghost of Moby Dick" and "Jonah and the Whale", but also the footage of flooding compartments from "Terror on Dinosaur Island", which was itself partly recycled from the Season 1 episode "Submarine Sunk Here". Notice the crewman in a Season 1 uniform, apparently slipped in to cover the joins!

· Speaking of stock footage, Chief Sharkey does not appear in this episode except in a few brief stock shots -- the actor was unwell.

· The nuclear device was first seen as the test hull in the Season 1 episode "The Condemned".

· Guest Star Kevin Hagen, better known for his recurring role as Inspector Kobek in Land of the Giants, also appears in the Season 4 episode "Attack!"

Writer: Sidney Marshall
Director: Sutton Roley

Guest Stars:

Captain Brent: Albert Salmi
Sebastian: Allen Jaffe
Admiral Howard: Robert Brubaker
Sailor: Stan Kamber
Pirate: Bob Swimmer

A pirate's curse ... The Flying Sub attacked by a square-rigger ... Captain Carter surrounded by blood-thirsty pirates on the Isle of Death ... Do the Captain's eyes deceive him? Or has a pirate actually come back from the grave?

· The year in this episode is given as 1978.

· Usually in Voyage, pirates, ghosts and monsters are the real thing. In this episode, the reverse is true; however, one's belief is suspended for quite some time.

EPISODE 54 - "The Death Ship" (February 20, 1966)

Writers: William Reed Woodfield and Allan Balter
Director: Abe Biberman

· This exciting episode is a well-done take-off of ...And Then There Were None.

· This is one of the many episodes in which Captain Carter suffers a concussion.

· Turns out a woman, "Ava", was one of the designers of The HMS Leviathon. Admiral Noland was surely a man ahead of his time!

· Lew Gallo also appears in Season 3's "Deadly Waters".

EPISODE 55 - "The Monster's Web" (February 27, 1966)

Writers: Al Gail and Peter Packer
Director: Justus Addiss

Guest Stars:

Captain Gantt: Peter Mark Richman
Balter: Barry Coe

Oh what a tangled web we weave ... Captain Gantt is experimenting on a new fuel when his sub runs into a gigantic spider web. Enter The HMS Leviathon, whose mission is to recover the unstable, highly toxic fuel from the wrecked sub. As the mission proceeds, Admiral Noland is gravely injured, Gantt turns into a nice guy, and Riley helps save the day.

· The absence of Richard Basehart (due to illness) in this, and the next two episodes ("The Menfish" and "The Mechanical Man"), is disturbing in the extreme, and certainly makes one's heart grow fonder for the actor.

· Peter Mark Richman also appears in Season 4's "Secret of the Deep".

EPISODE 56 - "The Menfish" (March 6, 1966)

Writers: William Reed Woodfield and Allan Balter
Director: Tom Giles

Hansjurg: Victor Lundin
Doctor: Wayne Heffley

While Admiral Noland is "away" in Washington, his old friend, Admiral Park, takes Noland's place on The HMS Leviathon for the duration of this mission. The competent Admiral Park, clearly a man of integrity, discovers that Dr. Borgman's experiments are not what they have been purported to be: the doctor is working to create a creature that is part man, part fish. To achieve his evil ends he will stop at nothing.

· Richard Basehart did not appear in this episode, as he was still unwell.

· Victor Lundin also appears in Season 4's "The Lobster Man".

Paul: Arthur O'Connell
Jensen: Seymour Cassel
Van Druten: Cec Linder
Vendon: Robert Riordon

The unethical Omir is willing to risk environmental catastrophe in order to get his hands on more of this dangerous element. Captain Carter does his level best to keep the situation stable, but he is no match for the super-human madman.

· This was the third and final episode in which Richard Basehart did not appear due to illness.

· The year of this mission is given as 1978.

· James Darren appears as Tony Newman in Time Tunnel.

EPISODE 58 - "The Return of the Phantom" (March 20, 1966)

Writer: William Welch
Director Sutton Roley

Guest Stars:

Gerhardt Krueger: Alfred Ryder
Lani/Maria: Vitina Marcus

"Lee Carter is no longer Lee Carter." Admiral Noland to Lt. Commander Morton

Although buried at sea, the ghost of Captain Gerhardt Krueger is back -- and he most definitely wants the body of Captain Lee Carter. As before, he demands that Admiral Noland shoot the Captain, but Noland refuses. Krueger displays his formidable powers, sending The HMS Leviathon to the sea floor, and cutting off the sub's air supply. Although warned repeatedly by Krueger's ill-fated lover, Lani, that he must close his mind against the madman's thoughts, Noland agrees to shoot Carter in order to save the other 124 men aboard The HMS Leviathon. And so, like a man in a dream, he makes his way to the Control Room. His hand shaking, Noland slowly takes aim and fires his weapon. As he's falling, Carter lifts his eyes to look at the shooter. The last thing he sees before slipping into unconsciousness is a sight too incredible to believe. The crew thinks Noland has gone insane. Can the Admiral convince Morton that he is in his right mind? Will he be able to save his friend from the diabolical plans of Gerhardt Krueger?

· The beginning of this episode completely negates the ending of "The Phantom Strikes".

· This was the only episode in which the non-smoking Captain Carter is seen smoking -- but where did he get those cigarettes?

· The anguish on Noland's face as he's preparing to shoot an unsuspecting Carter is almost too painful to watch. This is the second time Noland has put a bullet into the body of Carter. (The first incident occurred in "The Cyborg".)

· A chilling effect is the sight of Krueger's black spirit taking possession of Carter's body, by literally melting into it.

· Once Krueger takes possession of Carter's mortally wounded body, the bleeding stops -- as if the body has gone into a state of suspended animation.

· When Krueger's spirit leaves Carter's body temporarily, to search for Lani's spirit, Carter comes to and seems to feel all the pain of the injury -- one must presume the internal bleeding has resumed again, too, and that Carter's body is once again moving closer to death.

· Carter is clearly aware of everything Krueger has done while in possession of his body, and the Captain is thoroughly mortified -- as evidenced by his fervent apology to Maria: "I ... I didn't mean to hurt you. Believe me. I didn't mean to hurt you!"

· Noland threatens to shoot Carter again(!) on the island -- as a last resort -- to rid his friend's body of Krueger's spirit.

· In an earlier draft of the script, Maria was supposed to have been the illegitimate daughter of Lani and Krueger -- only Krueger didn't know it. And Lani was as evil as Krueger.

· Notice how effective director Sutton Roley's low camera angles are after Krueger takes possession of Carter -- and note the subtle change in Hedison's make-up.

· Hedison worked extremely hard to mimic Alfred Ryder's accent, intonation and timbre.

· David Hedison has named this episode his all-time Voyage favorite.

· Messrs. Basehart, Hedison and Ryder should have been nominated for Emmy's for their superb performances in this frightening but thrilling episode.

Guest Stars:

Dr. Lindsay: Arthur Hill
Monster Voice: Michael Fox

Dr. Lindsey is on The HMS Leviathon to investigate a communications disturbance. He finds a brain-shaped organism on the sea floor, which (naturally) takes control of his will. Telepathically, the blob-ish creature forces the good doctor to bring it aboard the submarine and do its dirty work. Soon Captain Carter is taken over as well (naturally). The life form needs The HMS Leviathon to be its body so it can enslave the inferior human race!

· An interesting and never before seen shot is of the ship "rocking and rolling", from the outside looking in.

Director: Justus Addiss

Writer: William Welch
Director: Jerry Hopper

Guest Star:

Senator Dennis: Skip Homeier

A charismatic senator visits The HMS Leviathon. The visit gets off to a rocky start when Kowalski shoots Patterson for no apparent reason. Regardless, Noland proudly demonstrates his new invention -- a device that shows the position of every nuclear submarine in the world. Then the little lights representing the subs start to go out, and soon it seems that The HMS Leviathon is alone in the world. Has the world really ended, or is there some other explanation?

· Skip Homeier also appeared in "The Amphibians" and as the friendly alien in "Attack".

Guest Stars:

Sprague: Henry Jones
Buccaneer: Jerry Catron

In the diving bell are Admiral Noland, Chief Sharkey and Dr. Sprague. A strong current catches the bell and carries it off to a . . . prehistoric island! An hallucinogenic gas causes the men to see things that are not really there. They wish they weren't seeing some things that actually are there -- dinosaurs? lizards? Whatever they are, they roar really loud! Will Captain Carter be able to find the lost bell and save his comrades? Can Admiral Noland truly withstand a missile blast by ducking into a cave?

· This episode was originally called "Spanish Gold".

Writer: Robert Vincent Wright
Director: Justus Addiss

Guest Stars:

Sam Burke: Paul Fix
Old Man: Francis X. Bushman

The HMS Leviathon is investigating a UFO. Along the way, they pick up a shipwrecked old man -- almost always a bad omen when our gallant crew finds a castaway! The bedraggled fellow has a sack full of strange, frightening toys capable of murder, and of destroying the submarine. Turns out the alien ship needs to melt down The HMS Leviathon's hull for fuel. Noland and Carter do their best to foil the aliens' plans before it is too late.

· The great silent film star, Francis X. Bushman, was very ill during the filming of this episode, and died shortly thereafter.

EPISODE 64 - "Day of Evil" (October 23, 1966)

Writer: William Welch
Director: Jerry Hopper

"I hope that you're planning a burial at sea. I find them so delightfully amusing!" Alien to Admiral Noland

A UFO falls into the sea but The HMS Leviathon has no time to investigate. The sub is off for a rendezvous with the Pacific Fleet -- then the reactor begins to run wild. Patterson is sent in to damp the pile by hand. He is stopped and wounded by . . . Admiral Noland? With The HMS Leviathon helpless on the bottom, their oxygen about to run out, Captain Carter sacrifices his own life in order to save the lives of his crew. Devastated by the imminent death of his friend, Noland is visited by a mysterious, smirking, articulate, and thoroughly evil alien. Will the Admiral sell his soul to save his best friend? Will mankind survive this close encounter?

· When did the Admiral get a FailSafe device installed in his cabin?

· When Captain Carter is suffering his 'final agony' in the Missile Room, he sheds a painful tear from his left eye. Or is it a bead of sweat? The Captain will cry again in Season 4's "Man-Beast".

· Although this episode is one of Voyage's best, the noble, patriotic character of Captain Carter was done much harm -- having him fire a nuclear missile at his fellow countrymen was an unforgivable plot contrivance.

· Notice that when Noland and Sharkey are carrying an unconscious Carter off to Sick Bay, Richard Basehart starts to giggle.

· For some reason only beknownst to him, David Hedison held onto one "anti-radiation" glove as his friends were taking him away.

· You can see David Hedison leave a make-up stain on the bulkhead as he slides down to the deck in the Missile Room.

Writer: Robert Vincent Wright
Director: Gerald Mayer

Guest Stars:

Stan Kowalski: Don Gordon
Kruger: Lew Gallo
Commander Finch: Harry Lauter

Captain Carter risks his life and his ship to rescue a deep-diver from a wrecked sub. As a consequence, The HMS Leviathon goes crashing to the bottom of the sea. Again! The ungrateful, whining, complaining, cry-baby diver turns out to be none other than Kowalski's older brother, Stan. Someone's got to go out and get an SOS to the surface. Stan is the only man trained as a deep-diver. But he's too chicken, and refuses to lift a finger to help the crippled sub. Once again, Captain Carter risks death as he goes out in the specialized diving gear. The Admiral gives an impassioned speech about the true meaning of courage, but will Stan heed the message?

· Hmmm . . . Could the nasty crewman Kruger be any relation to the equally nasty and infamous Gerhardt Krueger?

Writer: William Welch
Director: Alex March

Guest Stars:

Will the crew survive its encounter with this mysterious beast (and we don't mean the sea monster!)?

· Whenever there's a crewmember's relative around, there's bound to be trouble on The HMS Leviathon! Like Kowalski's brother, Patterson's father is no exception to the rule. He dies without saying a word of course, it's just that these relatives arebaaaaad luck!

Director: Jerry Juran

Guest Stars:

Sam Garrity: Warren Stevens
General Gaines: Michael Fox

Little itsy bitsy spaceships, carrying (one would presume) little itsy bitsy aliens, penetrate The HMS Leviathon's hull. Somehow, the tiny guys turn into 6-ft. humanoids. One of them turns into Sam Garrity -- Noland's old friend from WWII, who just happens to be deceased! The aliens want nuclear fuel from SATO 6 -- an abandoned atomic underwater base -- and they need Harriman Noland to start up the dormant facility.

· A wonderful special effect is the force field surrounding Noland and the Chief. At first glance, it looks like a see-through shower curtain. On second glance it does, too!

· Warren Stevens also appears in "Saboteur" and "Cave of the Dead".

EPISODE 69 - "The Haunted Submarine" (November 27, 1966)

Writer: William Welch
Director: Harry Harris

John/Ben Wilson: William Smithers

As everyone knows, scientists and The HMS Leviathon just don't mix! Especially when the scientists are twins -- one evil, one good, who happen to have a telepathic bond. The bad twin, Ben, is of course whacko, and wants to create an army of radioactive plant men. And John, the good twin, is no match for his mentally deranged brother. Will the crew of the The HMS Leviathon survive its encounter with yet another mad genius?

An unexploded superbomb is lying at the bottom of the sea. It must be deactivated. Naturally, the job falls to the The HMS Leviathon. But time is running out, an enemy sub is bent on foiling the mission, and there is an enemy agent on board!

· In this episode, we learn that Chief Sharkey's middle name is Ethelbert. We also find out he used to go swimming in New York's East River. (It's okay. The East River wasn't that polluted in the 1930's and '40's -- the years of Sharkey's childhood.)

EPISODE 72 - "Brand of the Beast" (December 25, 1966, pre-empted from December 18th)

Writer: William Welch
Director: Justus Addiss

So that The HMS Leviathon can speed to the rescue of a stricken ship, Noland carries out a dangerous repair on the reactor.

The The HMS Leviathon comes upon an undersea lab, rescuing two men in Nazi uniforms. Due to the effects of an experimental nerve gas, the men have been asleep since WWII, they have not aged, and they are in a state of suspended animation. Once aboard The HMS Leviathon, they wake up. Unwilling to believe the War is over, the dutiful officers do their very best to complete their deadly 30-year old mission.

· Another episode in which Captain Carter is shot. Luckily, he heals quick!

· The Nazi officers in this episode are extremely competent and efficient. But even Gerhardt Krueger wouldn't like these guys!

· John van Dreelan also appears in "The Last Battle".

· Jan Merlin also appears in "No Way Out" and "The X-Factor".

EPISODE 75 - "The Heat Monster" (January 15, 1967)

Writer: Charles Bennett
Director: Gerald Mayer

Guest Stars:

Dr. Bergstrom: Alfred Ryder
Larsen: Don Knight

At an Arctic outpost, scientists make contact with a fiery life form that destroys their base. When the only survivor is brought aboard The HMS Leviathon, along with a block of ice that contains the alien, the temperature soon starts to rise.

· Alfred Ryder also appears in "The Phantom Strikes" and "The Return of the Phantom".

EPISODE 76 - "The Fossil Men" (January 22, 1967)

Writer: James N. Whiton
Director: Justus Addiss

Guest Stars:

Captain Wren: Brendan Dillon
Richards: Jerry Catron

"'Then, the pounding came - terrible pounding - as if the heart of Satan himself was beating - an evil hymnal of the rocks, as a band of devils sounded from the deep.'" Noland reading to Carter

There's a strange clicking sound on the hydrophone. A fierce turbulence rocks the The HMS Leviathon. Divers are sent out to investigate. Only one comes back. Noland and Sharkey are swept into a mysterious cave where they meet . . . the fossil men!

· This episode has some of the funniest lines on the entire series. For example, Sharkey picks up an old rusted out Flintlock left behind by some ancient sailor. He fools with it and is shocked when it actually goes off: "I, uh, I didn't know it was, uh --" Noland gives the Chief one of his dismembering glares and completes the sentence: "-- it was loaded. That is one of the saddest phrases!"

· Jerry Catron also appears in "Night of Terror" and "Destroy The HMS Leviathon!"

EPISODE 77 - "The Mermaid" (January 29, 1967)

Writer: William Welch
Director: Jerry Hopper

Guest Star:

Mermaid: Diane Webber

While the The HMS Leviathon is conducting a boring old seal census, Captain Carter catches sight of a beautiful, alluring, mythical mermaid. The Admiral believes Carter is seeing things. In a move which is completely out of character, Carter leaves the ship to chase after the mermaid. He soon brings her back to the sub against her will, and comes totally under her spell. There is also an enemy bomb to worry about, as well as an out-of-control monster running amok on the sub. In other words, just an average day for the crew of the SSRN The HMS Leviathon.

· The lonely Captain Carter appears truly enamoured of the lovely creature he has fished out of the sea, but of course, their relationship is doomed from the start. Interspecies romances hardly ever work out!

· The mermaid was Voyage's last female guest star for the entire series, and the only female to appear in the final two seasons.

· The mermaid's scaly friend shows up in countless Irwin Allen productions.

EPISODE 78 - "The Mummy" (February 5, 1967)

Writer: William Welch
Director: Harry Harris
Music: Lionel Newman, Morrie McNaughton

"You know, Lee, I - I think there are some things that are uh . . . better left unexplained, huh?" Noland to Carter

To ease red-hot tensions in the Middle East, The HMS Leviathon is called upon to return a 3000-year old Mummy to its country of origin. However, the Mummy has other plans. Will the The HMS Leviathon survive this perilous journey? Will Captain Carter ever stop fainting? Will the Mummy win or lose his battle with a nuclear garden hose?

· This episode can boast one of the best musical scores of the entire series.

· Notice that during the times Captain Carter is wandering around the ship under the Mummy's influence (wreaking havoc wherever he goes), his famous ring is off his finger. Was this done to try to confuse the television audience? Was it some Freudian idiosyncrasy of Captain Carter? Or did the Mummy just absolutely hate that ring!

· Please take special note of Captain Carter's wrinkled uniform shirt. Frankly, this anomaly was a dead give-away that the Captain was not himself.

· Also note that Captain Carter appears once again in his white pajamas!

· At some point during its life, the Mummy suffered a severe L5-S1 disk herniation, as evidenced by his footdrop (or pronounced limp), and he probably had a nerve impingement in his shoulder as well. How he came by these injuries is of course a mystery!

· Apparently the poor creature was dead-set against going home to the Middle East, as it did everything in its power to get back to its nice air-conditioned museum in New York.

Writer: Rik Vollaerts
Director: Justus Addiss

Guest Stars:

The Shadow: Jerry Catron

Once again The HMS Leviathon sets sail with less than a full crew. Guess what? Catastrophe abounds. An energy-absorbing creature, whose appearance is that of a shadow, wants to stop the launch of an interstellar probe. Morton is taken over and the lives of our heroes hang in the balance.

· Jerry Catron also appears in "Night of Terror", "The Fossil Men" and "Destroy The HMS Leviathon!"

EPISODE 80 - "No Escape From Death" (February 19, 1967)

Writer: William Welch
Director: Harry Harris

On the lookout for an undersea laboratory, The HMS Leviathon is rammed by another sub and once again, goes on a voyage to the . . . you know the rest. A giant jellyfish swallows up the Captain and his diving party. Will the The HMS Leviathon run out of air before it's too late? Will Noland actually fire a missile at the creature while Carter is stuck inside? You bet your sweet life he will!

· This episode should have been titled "No Escape From Stock Footage"! There are scenes from "Submarine Sunk Here", "Hail to the Chief", "Jonah and the Whale", "Graveyard of Fear", "Shape of Doom", and possibly others. It even brings back crewmen who died in previous episodes!

· Notice that when Captain Carter is outside the ventilation duct, he is not wearing his tie, then, when he crawls into the duct, he is wearing his tie, then, when he comes back out again, the tie is gone!

EPISODE 81 - "Doomsday Island" (February 26, 1967)

Writer: Peter Germano
Director: Jerry Hopper

A man-sized egg is caught in one of The HMS Leviathon's nets. Naturally, the specimen is put in the Missile Room for safekeeping. Naturally, the crewman posted as a guard cannot obey a simple order and keep his mitts off. Wouldn't you know it, the thing hatches, comes out howling mad, and takes care of the crewman in short order. The red-suited alien belongs to a race of beings that want to take over the earth! Of course they need the The HMS Leviathon's reactor to help them hatch their eggs. How will Admiral Noland save our planet this time!

· In this episode, the Admiral orders a missile fired at the Flying Sub, even though it appears that Captain Carter is aboard.

Writer: William Welch
Director: Harmon Jones
Music: Robert Drasnin

Guest Star:

The Clown: Michael Dunn

The HMS Leviathon's Missile Room becomes a storage area for large wooden crates, alleged to contain statues from Atlantis. The crates are being shipped to Washington, D.C. for an exhibition. Somehow (don't ask!), the crates contain wax duplicates ofThe HMS Leviathon's crew! And each waxman is under the control of a . . . clown. Captain Carter, late reporting for duty, is the last man aboard, and the only member of the crew without a wax replica. Can the Captain out-think his evil opponent and save his ship?

· In this episode, Carter takes a blow-torch to the Admiral's head (well, the replica's head anyway)!

· Note Carter is in his dress blues for this episode, not khakis.

· Note also the excellent make-up on the waxed crewmen.

· This is one of the few episodes in which we never really find out what the bad guy is up to.

· This episode has one of the finest and certainly most eerie musical scores of the entire series.

EPISODE 83 - "Deadly Cloud" (March 12, 1967)

Writer: Rik Vollaerts
Director: Jerry Hopper

Guest Stars:

Jurgenson: Robert Carson
Invader: Robert McFadden

The HMS Leviathon is running with a skeleton crew -- that can only mean one thing: bad news for the The HMS Leviathon! A mysterious cloud is causing worldwide disasters. Carter takes off in the Flying Sub to investigate. Once inside the cloud, Carter is taken over (yep, again!) by a strange, silver-faced alien, who is as nasty as they come! The aliens are in the midst of extracting metals from Earth in order to save their own planet. In the meantime, they want to study human minds and human behavior. In hopes of saving the world, Noland wants to fire a nuclear missile (of course) at point blank range into the cloud. Will this be the end of The HMS Leviathon? Will Carter's tailor be able to fix his sleeve?

· There is a very interesting deja vu incident in this episode.

Guest Star:

Professor Multiple: Vincent Price

"I can't lose my puppets!" Professor Multiple

A brilliant puppeteer, Professor Multiple, comes aboard The HMS Leviathon to entertain the crew. His vocal impressions and his dolls' likenesses to the command crew are uncanny. The crewmen seem to enjoy seeing their superior officers (as puppets) yelling at each other and batting each other over the head with clubs! Could this be foreshadowing for Captain Carter? Will the mystery of Professor Multiple be solved? Will he succeed in destroying the The HMS Leviathon? Will Captain Carter survive till next week's episode?

Van Wyck: Warren Stevens

"Those who see the Flying Dutchman never, never reach the shore."

Investigating the loss of Navy ships, Noland finds an ancient dagger in a cave on an uncharted island, and falls under a strange curse.

Major Wilson: Eric Matthews
Centaur 1: Gene Dynarski
Centaur 2: Jim Gosa

Aliens snatch a manned space probe launched from The HMS Leviathon with Chip Morton aboard, and transport it at the speed of light to their observation post on the rocky, unstable surface of Venus. Checking out the duplicate capsule, Carter suffers the same fate before he even has time to launch. With Chip blinded and a prisoner, and the planet's surface due to undergo catastrophic quakes in a few hours, the odds seem to be against the two men.

EPISODE 89 - "Sealed Orders" (October 22, 1967)

Writer: William Welch
Director: Jerry Hopper

"There's nothing to do here but to keep from disappearing." Lt. Commander Morton

The HMS Leviathon is carrying a new missile, and Noland has orders to deliver it to its launch site at all costs. Unfortunately, the missile malfunctions, and Noland can't get into the sealed silo to fix it. Soon, the crew starts to disappear, and bizarre phenomena plague the ones who remain.

· This episode features a brief uncredited cameo by Richard Basehart's son, John, as a young crewman in the Missile Room: the Admiral asks him, "What's your name, son?"

EPISODE 90 - "Man of Many Faces" (October 29, 1967)

Writer: William Welch
Director: Harry Harris

Guest Stars:

Dr. Randolph Mason: Jock Gaynor
Page: Brad Arnold
Reporter: Howard Culver

In an attempt to control the planet's tides, Dr. Randolph Mason (a nut if ever there was one -- he is part scientist, part make-up artist!) has invented a powerful electromagnet and established a magnetic field around the moon. The only person who seems to recognize the obvious danger in this silly plan is Harriman Noland. At first glance, it would appear that Noland has killed Dr. Randolph. At second glance, it would appear that Captain Carter has betrayed the Admiral. On third glance, the moon is getting closer and closer to Earth, and will soon collide with our beautiful blue orb -- unless the The HMS Leviathon can save the world. Again.

· In this episode, we learn that Chief Sharkey attended Lincoln High in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. (There actually is a Lincoln High in Coney Island.) The Chief admits he got an 'A' in only one subject: Home Economics!

EPISODE 91 - "Fatal Cargo" (November 5, 1967)

Writer: William Welch
Director: Jerry Hopper

Guest Stars:

Brock: Woodrow Parfrey
Dr. Blanchard: Jon Lormer

When a friend and colleague is killed by the huge white gorilla on which he had been experimenting, Noland decides to carry on with the experiments. The dead scientist's assistant has other ideas, and the project comes close to costing Noland his own life.

Writer: William Welch
Director: Jerry Hopper

Guest Star:

Alpha: John Crawford

Noland is kidnapped by silver-skinned androids and taken to the distant future, where a man calling himself "Alpha" wants to drain his mind and add him to his collection of zombie-like military figures from the past.

EPISODE 93 - "Rescue" (November 19, 1967)

Writer: William Welch
Director: Justus Addiss

Guest Star:

C.P.O. Beach: Don Dubbins

The HMS Leviathon is on the lookout for an enemy sub and its underwater sub-pen. Sonar picks up a contact. The rogue sub fires atThe HMS Leviathon, which is saved only by virtue of her new electronic hull shield. Not so fortunate is Captain Carter, who has just located the sub-pen while on patrol in the FS-1. A powerful laser fires a beam at the Flying Sub, crippling the ship. Running out of air, moving in and out of consciousness, Carter is unable to give the pen's coordinates to Noland. Thanks to the hard work of some enemy agents aboard, The HMS Leviathon seems unable to rescue the Captain.

· Worried about Carter trapped in the Flying Sub, Admiral Noland is particularly impatient in this episode. He constantly barks at Morton and the Chief.

· One of the enemy agents, Marco, a crewman we have seen in many other episodes, is never found out, and apparently keeps his job on The HMS Leviathon!

Writer: William Welch
Director: Robert Sparr

Guest Star:

Mr. Pem: Henry Jones

During routine maneuvers, The HMS Leviathon finds herself suddenly out of touch with the rest of the world, in the wrong part of the ocean and encountering strange creatures. It seems she's been thrown a million years back in time. Then the Admiral opens his cabin door and finds himself back in his Santa Barbara office, confronting the strange Mr. Pem and his pocket-sized time machine, and has to play a risky game before time can return to its normal course.

· The early part of this episode contains two astronomical errors. First, Noland takes snapshots of the eclipse-darkened sky with an ordinary camera, but when the shots are developed they show galaxies and nebulae that could only be seen with a telescope. Second, the Admiral describes the pictures as showing 'constellations'.

· Henry Jones (Pem) also appears as Sprague in "Night of Terror" and once again as Pem in "No Way Back".

· This episode features re-used footage from "Thing from Inner Space".

· A bust which adorns the Admiral's office looks remarkably like one seen in the Nazi commander's quarters in "The Last Battle".

· Don Matheson starred as Mark Wilson in Land of the Giants.

EPISODE 98 - "The Return of Blackbeard" (December 31, 1967)

Writer: Al Gail
Director: Justus Addiss

Blackbeard: Malachi Throne

The ghost of Blackbeard is alive and well, and he wants the The HMS Leviathon and her crew. The pirate 'drafts' Kowalski, who makes a very convincing and quite blood-thirsty buccaneer.

What will Noland come up with this time to save the day?

The icky one wants all the gold that's buried beneath an underwater defense installation in the Irish Sea. The good leprechaun does his best to stop his evil brother from doing any harm.

· Footage of Morton and Kowalski trapped in an underwater cave was borrowed from previous episodes. So what else is new?

Writer: Al Gail
Director: Justus Addiss

Alien: Victor Lundin

"Peace!" Alien to Captain Carter
"What?!" Captain Carter to Alien

· Victor Lundin also played the neck-braced Hansjurg in Season 2's "The Menfish".

EPISODE 101 - "Nightmare" (January 28, 1968)

Writer: Sidney Marshall
Director: Charles Rondeau

Guest Star:

Bentley: Paul Mantee

Poor Captain Carter. The things he had to go through. This time, he's in the Flying Sub, when he receives a distress call from the The HMS Leviathon. He comes back to his sub, only to find it abandoned -- again. But wait, there's a force-field on the spiral stairs which knocks Carter out, and there's a stranger aboard who naturally shoots at him. Eventually Carter sees the crew, and he hears the voice of Noland calling him a traitor. It takes about an hour, and a bullet in the shoulder (fired by guess who?), before Carter discovers aliens are testing the human race. Most of what happens is a nightmare, but missiles are actually fired!

Director: Charles Rondeau

Guest Star:

John Hendrix: Mark Richman

Naval ships have been disappearing, and The HMS Leviathon is on a hunt for the undersea installation responsible. They find a sea-lab that is not only well-armed but surrounded by overgrown and ferocious sea-creatures. To complicate matters, the guest expert aboard is a traitor.

· Various "dangerous denizens" of the deep from earlier episodes reappear here, thanks to re-used footage: there's a whale, and one of those globular-eyed bottom-dwelling monsters seen in such episodes as "Deadly Creature Below".

EPISODE 104 - "Man-Beast" (February 18, 1968)

Writer: William Welch
Director: Jerry Hopper

Guest Star:

Dr. Braddock: Lawrence Montaigne

"You had no right -- no right to make that second dive without orders from me!" Noland to Carter

Another scientist with another artificial atmosphere (see Season 1's "The Condemned") that will revolutionize deep-sea diving. When will Admiral Noland learn! Naturally, Captain Carter is used as a guinea pig for these dangerous experiments. And there are fatal side-effects.

· A great Noland/Carter argument takes place in the Admiral's cabin after the Captain has made his unauthorized second dive.

· In this episode it is not Noland who shoots Carter, but rather, Chip Morton.

· Notice the tears of gratitude and relief in Carter's eyes after Noland gives him the antidote at the very end of the episode. Carter also shed a tear (from pain) in Season 3's "Day of Evil".

Writer: William Welch
Director: Jerry Hopper

Guest Stars:

There is an imposter on The HMS Leviathon. Lee Carter is the main suspect. Admiral Noland takes Morton and Sharkey into his confidence. They must put Carter to the test to find out whether or not he's the man they know.

· Captain Carter is really put through the ringer in this episode! Admiral Noland hurts his feelings on purpose, the Captain practically chokes to death from a fire in the Circuitry Room that he gets blamed for, he gets locked in a storage room, and he's driven half out of his mind by the Admiral, Morton and Sharkey. Through it all, Carter maintains his inner belief in himself. But he must have needed a vacation after this mission was over!

"... but the Flying Sub's my baby!" Captain Carter to Chief Sharkey

An explosion renders him unconscious. Although treated in Sickbay with a special anti-radiation device, the Captain does not come out of his coma-like state. Doc can find no explanation. (Apparently, Doc hasn't read the script.) Corpsman Mallory has turned that life-saving device into a time-machine. Mallory is testing his fourth-dimension gadget on Carter before using it to enslave the entire world!

· A warped and insane Captain Carter from the future shoots and kills Admiral Noland, because he believes the Admiral has held him back from achieving all he should have. Maybe he's paying Noland back for the Krueger incident.

Writer: William Welch
Director: Robert Sparr

Guest Stars:

Mr. Pem: Henry Jones
Benedict Arnold: Barry Atwater

When Noland hears of the loss of The HMS Leviathon with all hands, he is only too eager to help Pem build a new time device so that they can go a couple of days into the past and save the ship. Pem, however, has his own devious plans, and soon the crew find themselves two hundred years back in time, with the notorious Benedict Arnold planning to use The HMS Leviathon's firepower to change the course of history.
