Officer Bollix. Col. Klink from Hogans Heroes..... Sgt. Shultz would have been a robot voice..lol

Why doesn't Officer Bollix (sp?) interrogate Smith regarding the "item" which Ohan, prior to his capture, says he expects to receive from Smith ?Smith touches a myriad of items which do not turn tom platinum (his sandwich, Officer Bollix, rocks, his clothing, etc.)Fun episode, though.

By coincidence, if you haven't seen the Ninja 3 (The domination), at the beginning of the movie as well as at the beginning of Lost in Space episode--All that Glitters, Penny almost the same age as Lucinda in Ninja III discovers a dying but evil possessed Ninja. And how the scene and interaction carries out in this episode from 2:15 to 3:30 is amazingly identical!! One must see the movie to appreciate it. Synopsis of Ninja 3:
Lucinda Dickey stumbles upon a dying ninja assassin, who gives her his sword and transfer his spirit into her. The evil spirit awakens in her and she goes on a killing spree, taking out all of the cops that killed his original body. Sho Kosugi arrives from Japan as the sworn enemy of the evil ninja, and it's his job to exorcise the foul demon out of poor Christie and send it into oblivion. Much of the film is painful to watch, as it's drenched in god-awful 1980's pseudo-pop music, embarrassing aerobics and dance sequences, and of course, the irritating cop boyfriend. But, the ninja fight scenes are enjoyable, and Sho's form and execution is great

I am normally quite adverse to anything or any attitude possessed by Dr. Smith, but I had to side with his reaction to finding out that the prisoner/hobo was making use of his quarters. It was so hilarious that I kept going back just to see his reaction. ROFL! This episode is priceless!

A sci-fi treatment of the Midas legend features the distaff side of the space castaways having to hold the fort, and getting involved with an escaped criminal and the space policeman on his trail. A lot of interesting ideas here are somewhat undermined by the chintziness of the costumes and props; the ominpotent talking "disc", the alien hounds, and Penny as a platinum statue especially stand out as being unconvincing.
This was still early days yet for the space family Robinson, though, and the production values would improve (at least a little), and it's heartening to note that some effort was still made to explain things like how all the aliens they encountered spoke perfect English; later on, when things got wilder, it was all kind of taken for granted.

A platinum Penny, June's in charge, a space thief, a nasty Space Officer with two hairy bodyguards, and, of course, Dr. Smith up to his Ringer-nect in trouble. Lots of good plot elements work very well in this leasson to be learned episode which successfully shows Dr. Smith actually does care about the others.
Hats off to all for this one!!!
