The Flies:
Series opener.
Not bad beginning to the series.
The episode title alludes to Lord of the Flies which had kids fending for themselves with one exception. Here they are guided by the adult Fagon played by Lost In Space alum Jonathan Harris and who would shortly be the lead actor of fellow Filmation series Space Academy. The name Fagon derived from the Oliver Twist character Fagin. Fagon and Fagin are similar in name and in character but there is one difference between the two. Whereas Fagin only uses his kids as a means to an end and while Fagon does do the same with his kids he contrast to Fagin actually cares about his kids.
Jonathan Harris brought in a very sincere performance as Fagon.
