Spoilers Off applies to Nightmare Fuel pages. Read at your own risk.
  • Doris/DOR-15. She's a spider-themed robot with Mind Control powers and plans of world domination. Do the math.
  • The Bad Future that is created by Doris. There are no soft colors anywhere, only red, black and green, and humans are Brainwashed slaves that look like zombies - including the Robinsons, who come after Lewis and try to shove him and the time machine over a cliff.
  • Wilbur disappearing in front of Lewis when the Ripple Effect catches up to him. The sky is stormy, the wind is roaring all around them as Wilbur is trying to give him a pep talk. Then wisps begin to come off his body. Wilbur feels his chest as he begins to realize what's happening and says, "Lewis...? Leeewwwiss!" as he vanishes into the sky in a swirl of smoke.
    • Considering the fact that when Doris is also removed from existence in this manner, she is ripped apart piece by piece, imagine how painful that must've been for Wilbur.
  • Mr. Harrington (one of Lewis's multiple potential adoptive parents) developing an allergic reaction to being sprayed with peanut butter near the beginning is a bit creepy, because of how swelled he gets.
  • The T-Rex the Bowler Hat Guy sics on Lewis may have comedic moments, but he's still a freaking dinosaur, and thus a challenge for even the diverse and technological advanced Robinsons. He's a surprisingly quick thinker, shockingly fast and would have succeeded in capturing Lewis had it not been for the boy getting into a hard-to-reach place. Oh, and never mind capturing Lewis; his appearance is so shocking and sudden, he would have eaten Lewis had Bowler Hat Guy not demanded he be taken alive, and very nearly did the same to Wilbur.
  • Doris' plan for capturing Lewis in the Robinsons’ dining room is much more disturbing than her comrade’s. While the Bowler Hat Guy merely went back in time and brought a T. Rex to capture Lewis, Doris planned to kill the Robinsons by dropping the chandelier on them and then taking Lewis. This is a big indicator that she’s far more dangerous than the Bowler Hat Guy.
