And Judy standing out of the roof and Panama playing loudly........
I've actually had the completely opposite impression of her; that of a one-note character who hasn't grown beyond planning the next way to scheme her way out of situations and sabotage their plans. She's Boardwalk Empire's Gillian through and through, though in a far less subtle manner, and that's going to get old fast. Meanwhile the others I felt had more character growth arcs. But what have we learned about Dr Smith? Oh, that she's a schemer willing to do anything for her selfish ways. Hitting Maureen over the head in what was a very critical moment was not only very selfish but very stupid, because she could have sabotaged her own chance at getting off the planet.
I can only hope they give her a bit more dimensionality to her character than to be someone who schemes all the time. Although I realize that's pretty much in tune with the original series. I just think she needs a bit more to play with.
Dr. Smith the only one who seems torn between two ways of acting - the selfish, angry person who probably has something worse in her backstory than jealously towards her younger sister, and the person who yearns to be part of the family she once had, or maybe never had. Although this might just be partly bad writing, her behavior definitely seems all over the place, and her backstory does offer the possibility that she really is conflicted and that is the source of the incoherence.
Hitting Maureen over the head was a dumb maneuver, but by then I was used to the writers making characters do dumb things because the plot requires them to, so I didn't fault her particularly for it.

Sorry to double post but I haven't learned to edit yet. 
Not yet but it's apparently doing well for Netflix so I'm just assuming season 2 is a lock:

Also, sci fi/fantasy is reportedly Netflix's best genre (makes sense, Netflix is global and that genre travels well) which bodes well for anything under that heading:

I guess the believability of a narcissistic selfish psychotic liar like Dr. Smith has grown on me in the past couple of years...
Well considering one is in politics hmmmmm
Smart, but bad under pressure. Suffers from self-doubt. I liked that characterization.
The big mystery though for me and others is what exactly did she trade to get his pass mark on his test?
I also wondered if the person she was trading information with was the real Dr Smith who was played by Billy Mumy and left stranded on the Resolute, or tada. Maybe June Harris. We don't exactly know the full extent of her criminal dealings, only that she is one.
Also perhaps bad at a physically low atmospheric pressure - he was in a hypobaric chamber, after all. I can empathise as I have a low haemoglobin count and I get dizzy and confused above 4000m if I exert myself even mildly.
Yes!!!!!!!
At least someone else noted that he was inside a hypobaric chamber to test his response to external stress. I brought that up online elsewhere and people forget that part of the test.
But still what did Maureen trade to get his pass?
What did she have to trade? There's support for someone else's agenda in the organisation, a promise to keep silent about what she'd discovered about the alien tech or information about that tech. Have I missed anything?
It could be any of those things. All of them sound valid but as they never revealed what the content of her file was on the show (yet) we can only make assumptions.
I do hope they revisit that in the next season because it's one of those threads that people keep bringing up in the Reboot page on FB.
I'm guessing that's the thing (though that may have been a red herring and there's another secret yet to be unearthed)
I'd taken that as read, but then I've seen a fair few films/documentaries where they are doing that sort of test under differing pressure.
If that's the case I do hope that it's a BIG, BIG secret that will surprise people either in a good or bad way.
OMG... Well I hope they do get renewed they sunk enough money into these 10 episodes and they were nice.
I like this because it was a fun non violent show that everyone could watch.
If you were referring to the box newborn Will was in, that's what they use for premature babies - their lungs aren't properly developed, and it has a higher concentration of oxygen, which makes it better for them (Source: first kid was born premature, and nit was damn scary. I will now spend the rest of the evening trying to put those memories back in the box, as I had to when I saw that ep and, caught by surprise, teared up).
No they were referring to the chamber Will was sitting in when doing some kind of test sitting at a table. That was a hypobarric chamber. That's the test he failed.
Yes, I meant the hypobaric chamber used during Will's testing when he failed to assemble a block puzzle of sorts. It would be very odd and probably unethical to test a baby in an incubator.
Unless you were Khan....
Oh see if you can see a familiar face hiding in here. I've found his face in several everyday places.
