Netflix's Lost in Space Season 3

Watched the first 5. I appreciate the recap. It’s been years since I saw season 2. Certainly going a breakneck pace but it does take 4 episodes for them to get lost again.
The vfx of this show put other sci fi sci shows to shame. I wish the new Star Trek shows had something similar. Everything is just too dark there.
It’ll be interesting finding out what the robots want with Will. Haven’t got there yet.
 
I got about 5 minutes into the first episode of season 3 and realize that I have zero recollection of how season 2 ended and had no clue what was going on. Guess I gotta do a rewatch first, stupid brain.
 
OK well that was great.......... I'm doing a rewatch next week. Not going to spoil it but can't wait to talk about this.

Ending was optimistic and very open, not what I'd call a proper closed ending. I think there was room for more stuff to happen but it is closed in the sense that this current story is over. Shame there was such a huge delay between seasons.

The opening scene is weird since Will Robinson's actor clearly went through puberty between seasons, and it's supposed to be right after the end of Season 2. They really should have just not shown Will at all until the story picked up a year later.

That really threw me a bit till I settled into the show.

So if a robot is injured and you help it that breaks the programming and they become free willed and loyal to you.... That kind of didn't gel with me a bit but I just rolled with it. SAR was a fucking dumbass if he didn't figure that out.
 
Wasn’t the biggest fan of the final episode but I enjoyed the others. The best ones as usual are the stories where it’s just the family dealing with some situation by themselves.

Just wasn’t a fan on how they resolved the story. I was hoping there was more to the robots than what we got. Instead they were just a mixture of the Geth from Mass Effect and the Kaylons from Orville

Fair enough. I honestly didn't think of the Geth from Mass Effect

I don't necessarily think the Robots become loyal to the person who breaks their programming. I think it's more the action of showing them compassion by saving them somehow triggers something that allows the Robot to go from some type of programmed specific routine to developing free will. Once getting that free will they could then show loyalty to the person who helped them "extreme loyalty/devotion in "Robot's" case towards Will", but as we saw from all the other robots they all left on their own afterwards. You could say they 'defended' the people who freed them, but also they knew the opposing SAR-controlled forces would destroy them or take away their free will so they were going to fight them anyway.

I theorize that SAR was probably one of the first robots to break its programming... Possibly then the creator species either reprogrammed him or attempted to or he saw it done to other robots so he rebelled and blew up their planet to eliminate the threat of reprogramming. When Robot was "reprogrammed" by Will SAR saw it as like what the creators did and wanted to identify how it was done to protect from the threat.

thing is SAR never allowed his fellow robots free will. Only himself. Maybe it didn't know how to cause it to happen or SAR preferred to be the only one with it. I think SAR probably had robots seeking out other sentient biological civilizations to find out if they could reprogram like its creators and thus were a threat. So that's what the original contact/investigation of humans was. Searching for possible threats from sentient biological creatures that could return SAR to a subservient role.
 
I wish we saw more of the robots talking to each other. Gives them more character.
