It's a living.

See what ya did there.

Wow, lucky Tony and Doug didn't get transported onto it. It would be funny if they landed on the comet and everything was like a black-and-white silent movie.

It doesn't look like landing on that fireball would be an option.

That's very interesting. So they're essentially changing history, or have the potential to change history, just by opening the tunnel. Like the Observer Effect.

This could be an unusual circumstance, but we'll see if they do anything else in this vein.

That looks suspiciously like the comet that destroyed the planet that the Jupiter II was on.

It no doubt is, then. I read that among the show's other footage sources was other Irwin Allen shows.

They'd probably have to spend the rest of their lives traversing the timeways naked. There's probably a way for the Time Tunnel to send new clothes to them, but Ann would withhold the information.

I don't mean losing their clothes; but if their clothes get ripped up a bit, will they automatically mend when they go back into the timestream? If so, that opens the door for injury resetting.

True. He seemed to be one of them regardless of the show he was in.

It just occurred to me that they probably have self-immolation devices implanted for the trip to Earth to prevent their bodies from being recovered by authorities-- which is a pretty grisly thought.

Maybe, but that's not the impression I got from Vikki's declaration. I'd imagine maybe it's something that happens with their cells / body chemistry when they sustain mortal injury in Earth's environment.

Hmm. That is odd.

I couldn't help noticing when these pairs have been on my weekly-updated playlist together.

I had in mind Jules Verne's Off On A Comet-- I thought there was a silent movie version, but Google says no. I must be mixing it up with something else.

I remember recognizing a few LIS props in the episode where they met aliens in the future.

Well, we confirmed the hygiene thing, but that just implies that any molecules they acquire get left behind in their proper time frame. I don't think we've seen anything yet that implies a reset. If we see any injuries disappear, then the same logic should apply to their clothes. Or watches.

Well, that's mighty convenient.

I guess we'd have to know the development history to see if there was time for BC to be inspired by them. Three times is quite a coincidence, though.
