Great show, i love Dr.Smith.
At some point she's probably gonna boil a bunny.

Netflix greenlights new "Lost in Space"
- Thread starter safarial
- Start date
We already have one in the White House. I think that's enough.I hope we see "Carrot-Man" in season 2!
She'll boil Debbie
Or Will.
I hope not. I thought she fancied Maureen at one point.
Thanks.
My version has light and sound, and has a remote control that allows it to move, with a voice device that lets you use your voice.
This might account for why there was an attack on the Resolute by the robots, and why everybody had to flee.
My pet theory and this could be a potential future spoiler
Earth found out about the aliens somehow before all this was set in motion, the meteor thing was a cover to get one of their ships. Maybe one of them crashed here in the past and that's how they knew about them, or some other event happened in the LIS timeline. But either way Earth knew in advance about the alien technology. That's how they got that stardrive for the Resolute.
I see what you mean.
I am at episode 8. So far it is a bit slow in some parts but still interesting overall. The production value is excellent and the writing and acting are good. Posey Parker is MVP for her performance as Dr Smith. She puts such nuance into the character.
One question I have: the characters talk about how if they can get back to the Resolute, they will be able to return to Alpha Centauri but they also stated that they are lost in another galaxy. How is that possible unless the Resolute has some really super super borderline impossible FTL? Another galaxy is impossibly far away from AC even with a very fast FTL drive. Intergalactic FTL probably needs to be a million times faster than interstellar FTL. So the Resolute would not just a FTL drive, it would need a FTL a million times faster than any standard FTL.

Perhaps the drive on the Resolute is like the FTL used in Star Wars and not on Star Trek (or it's slipstream, as mentioned and seen on Voyager.)

I hope not; that shit needs to stay in the past. It was dumb when on the original show, and it's still dumb now.
It only bothered me because I thought “man, you’d think paper was kind of precious” when you can’t just run to Office Depot to get more.One of the minor annoyances I found was when Maureen was working out calculations on paper and kept crumbling up the papers and throwing them away in frustration over and over.
How many millions of times have we seen that act played out? I actually rolled my eyes over that one. It reminded me of the Brady Bunch episode where Greg was trying to write a song and kept crumbling up the papers in the same way.
I thought this did an excellent job honoring its source material. It took the strengths of the original and built on them, without being slavishly beholden to nostalgia. Plus, the cast was great. I'll mention young Will in specific, because so much of this hung on his shoulders. He's quite a find.
I'm definitely on board for more. Never thought I'd see the day when I was more invested in "Lost in Space" than the current Trek show.

And bit of trivia that camera Will uses was not a prop but an actual product you can buy

I think my favorite unintentional laugh is at the end when
trapped on a piece of debris in orbit with air running out and the Resolute about to leave Don gets something in his eye! I think you guys went to that "Gravity" well one too many times lol.
I wondered how much Oreo paid for the product placement.
Dang. I spent the whole time wondering if Mumy was gonna do a cameo. When did he appear?
toward the end, Don West said he wasn’t born yet when the Columbia space shuttle was destroyed. That was fifteen years ago. So it’s set around at least 20 years or more from how if the character and the actor is the same age.
Oh, crap. Sounds like another instance of TV writers who don't know the difference between a galaxy and a star system. Why doesn't anyone look this stuff up? It's not that hard.
I once briefly owned this book of SF paintings loosely connected by a framing narrative in the form of a star traveler's journals, and there was one journal entry that read something like, "We're now two light years from Earth. Only a few more galaxies to go." I think that line alone made me sell back the book. (Well, I exaggerate. It was pretty badly written overall, since the creator was an artist rather than a writer. But that line was a major symptom of its problems.)
Yeah, it bugs me too. It's like the writers don't know how big space really is and so think they need to make things in other galaxies to make the stakes big enough. The reality is that there is no need to make the planet extra galactic. The planet could have been somewhere in our galaxy and the Robinson's would still have been sufficiently "lost in space". If the planet were say 5,000 light years away from Alpha Centauri, that would still be pretty darn far and not knowing where you are, not to mention the impeding doom of the planet, would still raise the stakes more than enough for good drama.
As was the throttle control and joystick they used for the Jupiter spaceship:
Warthog HOTAS has been really popular as a goto flight control system in movies (Batman vs. Superman, Europa Report etc.) as it's visually catching and you can easily bolt it down on to the rest of the set.
No, I think it's that they literally don't understand that "galaxy" and "star system" are not interchangeable terms. They're not trying to make things huger, they just don't know that the word "galaxy" means something huge and very far away. They just think it means "some other part of space." Like when the original Battlestar Galactica did an episode where the fleet crossed from one "galaxy" to another, but they were directly contiguous, like they were crossing a state line or something. People know that the word "galaxy" means something spacey, but they don't bother to figure out just what.
