- TriviaYou can see in Megazor's camp that Galladians, Zorodotd, and Roscopores are many of the alien creatures they've faced in previous episodes.
- GoofsThe string which lowers the pod can be seen as it comes out of the Jupiter 2 and during the landing on the planet.
- Quotes
Megazor: The rules of the hunt shall be strictly enforced. The time limit will be exactly 60 Earth minutes. The hunted will be given a choice of weapons... and a five-minute head start. It is to be solely a contest of skill and cunning. Any deviation of these killing procedures by either the hunted or the hunter... will result in severe disciplinary penalty. Any questions?
Prof. John Robinson: Yes. I, uh - I know what happens if you win. What happens if I win?
Megazor: Pursuant to regulations covered by such an impossible contingency, you and your fellow Earthlings will be released.
Prof. John Robinson: What assurance have have I of that?
Megazor: The computer will serve as an impartial judge.
The Robot: Objection! Then I shall go along to be impartial judge of the computer.
Megazor: Objection denied! Choose your weapon.

For the first several minutes, Dr. Smith returns to his early Season One evil personality when he does not want the Jupiter Two to land and search for Prof Robinson and The Robot (who landed on the planet in the space pod). Mrs. Robinson even lets him have it!
If some of the minor Dr. Smith foolishness (and to a lesser extend The Robot's), later in the episode, had been revised, Hunter's Moon could have been an early or mid Season One episode Gem. Even with those minor distractions it is excellent and almost worthy of a "10".
The alien hunter Megazor, is arrogant and very easy to dislike. The story is excellent, with Dr. Smith getting everyone in a bind early on and then when it looked like all was clear, his greed got them in a bind again. Prof Robinson is the hero.
PS: Although the Robinsons always put up with Dr. Smith's antics, it is incredible that after Prof Robinson returned to the Jupiter Two the first time (and would have learned what Dr. Smith did to cause the crash landing), that he would risk his life to save him. Or at the very least laugh near the end as Dr. Smith runs by. The crash landing was the evil Dr. Smith, not the buffoonish Dr. Smith. If there was a serious ending with a Dr. Smith banishment, this episode would have wrapped perfectly.
