S02 E18 The Sky's on Fire! (1964)
Again, this came up on a 'best episodes' list, so let's see if we agree.

A meteor storm ignites atmospheric gases in the southern hemisphere. Adm. Nelson believes one of the Seaview's missiles can extinguish it but someone on board is secretly trying to stop him.

Not really expecting any of our American ex-colonial friends to join us tonight. They have things to do, apparently.
And before you settle down to rewatch, make sure you have VOTED today, UK rebels.

Remebering last time...how I said there's always a Kowalski? Maybe that's because of watching so much VTTBOTS?

Sorry to hear that, but glad you're feeling better today.

I'm more than half-way through the letter B. Due to the number of people called Arnold and Bernard in 13th century Languedoc, when I finish B I will have done a sixth of the index!

The remaining four sixths are C-O, P, R, and S-Z. Sorry, A is one sixth, and B another - so I will have done a third (better and better).

If Nelson has globally important calculations to do...why is he piloting the mini flying sub?

As is filming the whole thing either with models or in a small, enclosed, budget-friendly environment.

So they're down by the South Sandwich Islands? Don't they know that area is geologically unstable?

Either the one we don't really know, the one that's a bit different or the one who has a black hat. You know the rules.
