- 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
The special effects are amazing. So amazing, in fact the same scenes must be reused over and over - and it never gets old! The episode with the dinosaurs was just great. Those Sleestaks always gave me nightmares when I was little; creepy! Ed Gale does such a great job in this show. 15 years later and I still sing the theme song in the shower every morning!! "Doncha turn your back -- you'll become a snack!" I have all the action figures, and they reside on my mantle. As I grow older and my hairline recedes, I look more and more like Stink every day. LOTL will hold a special place in my heart 4eva. In conclusion if there's anything to be learned from LOTL it is to always wear your seat belt and steer clear of potholes.
