Added DiffLines:

* ExpositionIntuition: The kids, who've become fair experts on giant reptilian beasts by this point, are threatened by a two-headed snake in the first episode of season three. Having escaped, they name it "[=LuLu=]", one "Lu" for each head. How does this fit this trope? It fits, because the two-headed snake's body is ''completely underwater'', out of view, when they run into it. So how did they instantly catch on that it was a multi-headed creature, rather than two big snakes?

Added DiffLines:

* ObfuscatedInterface: Pylons are controlled by a matrix of crystals that have various effects when you arrange them. It's a pity that there's no UI to give you any clue what a given arrangement will do in advance, especially when a bad arrangement can do things like cause the sun to go out.

Although the show is probably best remembered for the bizarre mix of decent stop-motion and [[SpecialEffectFailure positively awful puppetry]] used to portray the various dinosaurs, it is more notable for the general high quality of its scripts, which were frequently written by "name" ScienceFiction authors. Any given week might showcase a story written by Gerrold (the show's story editor in season one), Ben Bova, Creator/TheodoreSturgeon, Creator/LarryNiven, Creator/NormanSpinrad, Samuel Peeples or D.C. Fontana, all of whom contributed to the [[ContinuityCreep increasingly complex and intriguing mythology]] of the series.

''Land of the Lost'' is a 1974-1977 NBC Saturday morning ScienceFiction kids' program created by [[Creator/SidAndMartyKrofftProductions Sid and Marty Krofft]], Allan Foshko and an uncredited David Gerrold, and produced by Creator/SidAndMartyKrofftProductions. A small family of outdoorsy tastes are thrust into a LostWorld that initially appears to be some kind of "Hollow Earth" scenario, but later turns out to be a pocket universe. The Land of the Lost is a tropical jungle home to a wide variety of creatures long extinct on Earth including an amusing family of hominids and several large and threatening dinosaurs. And in an ancient ruined city, they find a race of aggressive but light-sensitive insect-lizard people called "Sleestaks" by a mysterious message written in English on a wall near its entrance.
