I think they were at one point going to sell figures of the Robot. Not sure what happened to that.
Netflix’s Lost in Space Season 2

This is a family that named their robot...Robot so maybe they aren't the naming type.

Well to be fair the original Robinson family named their Robot Robot too but he had a bigger vocabulary. He was vocabulistic, to quote Rocket Raccoon.
Well Robot has upgraded to sentences now so by season 9 he'll probably be as chatty as the original version.
Finished season 2. What a blast!! There were a few points that made me go ok, this is a bit over the top. Or weird. Or were just eye candy.
The Resolute inside the gas giant... Wow, one of the best pieces of CGI I've seen in a while on tv, stunning!
For a while now, dr Smith seemed so familiar to me. I only started season 1 mid december, mind you. But it kept bugging me.....
And after I just finished season 2, I figured, let's watch Superman Returns that was released on Dutch Netflix a few days ago. Haven't seen that in ages!!
Right......

I just finished the whole season. While the characters were more fleshed out and the visuals were spectacular, I found the plot to be a bit muddled and the story lacking in direction.
What was the entire season all about? The Robinsons' attempt to leave the alien planet? To find Will's friend Robot? To neutralize the water contamination on the Resolute? To get to Alpha Centauri? All of the above? It was just one crisis after another that the Robinsons had to deal with, if only to showcase their ingenuity and resourcefulness in times of trouble.
The season sheds no light on who the robots are and what are their motives, besides trying to take back the engine that the humans took from them.

The Robots look very Geth in design.
I have not seen The Expanse, so I can't make any contrasts or comparisons between the two.
I was hoping the robots had more ambitious plans, like conquest or domination. If they're such an advanced race, a stolen engine should be the least of their concerns. There were no real protagonists in the story.

It's not just the engine. As we saw in season 2, the humans had captured one of the robots, Scarecrow, and forced/tortured him to operate the drive for them. The Resolute was essentially a slave ship and Scarecrow was the one working the oars. Which means the robots were rescuing one of their own from captivity, and had every reason to see humans as a dangerous, hostile race. To them, we're the monsters.
Granted, though, that did make it problematical that the show continued to treat the robots largely as monsters, and that nobody but Will was particularly interested in finding an alternative to slaughtering them.
I love that the show ignores the fact the humans are the monsters in large part. Maybe next season we get to see more about the robots.
The ending of season 2, drifting ship with weak signal. I'm wondering if we'll see spiders?
I want them, we must have them. It will be glorious.
What do you guys think?

Lost in Space renewed for season 3/the final season - https://tvline.com/2020/03/09/lost-in-space-renewed-season-3-final-episodes-netflix/
I'm glad it's coming back.
Deeply annoyed its the final season.
Who knows what the numbers are, but Netflix--because it's subscription based and always needs new subscribers--doesn't care about a solid base of viewers for a show, they need it to bring in a constant increase of new subscribers.
Commercial TV, take us back, we forgive you!
I wish there could be more seasons, but three was probably all we could ever hope for. If your series isn't called Stranger Things, it's not going to have a long life.
So it's going to last as long as the old show did? That's odd. Remakes usually outlast the originals.
They'll probably just exceed the number of episodes in the original series' season 1...
Glad it's renewed, sad it won't last longer. Would've been nice if it had run for more seasons than the original, even with far fewer episodes per season.
Oh, there are a lot of remakes that ran far shorter than their originals or flopped outright -- just looking at Wikipedia's list of reboots, there's Bionic Woman, Kojak, Ironside, Charlie's Angels, Dark Shadows, Fantasy Island, The Fugitive, at least two Twilight Zone revivals, The New Perry Mason, The New Odd Couple, The New Monkees (pro tip: never name your remake "The New" anything), etc.
The reality is, failed series always substantially outnumber successful ones, but because they're so short-lived, we forget about them or never notice them, so that creates the false perception that long-running series are the norm instead of the exception.
