Hurricane

Hurricane was the Sixteenth episode of the First Season. It was written by David Gerrold and Larry Niven.
== Summary ==
While fooling around with a Pylon, Will Marshall opens a Dimensional gateway that brings an astronaut and a hurricane to the Land of the Lost.
==Plot==
While exploring atop a hillside, Will and Holly come across a pylon that they've never seen. Seeing that the crystal panel inside is the same one that Enik was able to open the door with, Will decides to fool around with it. What he is able to accomplish is make a moving shining light appear in the sky. Will and Holly are amazed to see what looks like a parachutist coming out from the moving light.
They find that that parachutist is a human astronaut, Fort Worth Texas based Beauregard Jackson. Will and Holly soon realize that what the shining light is another doorway, this one from home since that's where Beauregard came from.
Rick joining the group, the foursome try to figure out how they can get through the shining light and supposedly back to Earth. That task is easier said than done, as the light is in the sky, and what seems to be happening is that the moving light itself is causing a hurricane causing problems for them on the ground.
With the help of the Marshalls, Jackson soon managed to return via the same doorway, but the Marshall's can't follow, since Earth's end of the doorway is fifteen miles above the ground, and there was only one parachute.

==Trivia==
* Ostensibly, "Never play with anything you don't understand." Rick, however, admits that - in some cases, anyway - it is difficult at best to gain understanding without trial and error. Such is verified by his closing line: "If I catch you fooling around with another pylon...There'll be no television for a week."
*Category: 1974-1976 Episodes When Will proposes investigating a mountaintop, Holly alludes to a time when Rick Marshall "got shocked by those two blue crystals." Rick was actually shocked by a yellow crystal placed with a red and blue in the episode The Search. The two blue crystals were used by Enik to cure Rick Marshal
*When Will and Holly Marshall meet Beauregard Jackson for the first time, he is dangling from a tree by his parachute, and being taunted by Spot. Will drives Spot away and explains that Spot is a coelophysis and omnivorous. This is incorrect as coelophyses are carnivorous, not omnivorious. (Though Spot has been observed eating vegetation.)
