¿Question for those watching "Lost in Space"on Netflix *NO SPOILERS*

[underpants]

Does Parker Posey's portrayal of Dr. Smith remind anyone else of Ally Sheedy in "The Breakfast Club"?

I don't mean to question her acting (well done - excellent character) but the whole reminds me of Ally Sheedy .....which is a very very good thing 😁

It's more than just the look to me but that is part of it.

1. I can see that. But, I find the series a little boring.

11. It's hard to do that kind of story and make it family friendly. n/t

4. I do wish this Lost in Space was a love

The original was episodic and so campy.
Every week was a different adventure with even trippier aliens and monsters.
I fear the remake has lost almost everything that made the original special.
This one is okay but it's getting pretty drawn out... it's like Lost in Space
disguised in the format of any old generic series from the 2000-teens.
My hopes are up though. 5...4...3...2....

5. Dr. Smith originally was written as a saboteur

I was reading up on the old show. This was of course during the Cold War space race so the theme was America triumphant but Dr. Smith was an agent if some foreign government on a mission to disrupt the whole thing. They changed his character to basically be a clumsy goof (ala Gilligan) that creates the 22 minutes of turmoil that must be overcome.

It started as a comic named "Space Family Robinson" - yes there were lawsuits.

6. After all these years....

I never put the "Robinson" part together. Geez.

7. DANGER WILL ROBINSON ! ! !

8. Now that you mention it, yes. And I'm loving the show. Seeing Maureen

vindicated and be what she should have always been, a brilliant scientist. No more just cooking and saying "be careful". And Will is a genius, but he is also a little boy, not " the man in charge if the other men are gone"

9. We're on episode 7 or 8

I think.

10. I've seen all episodes, and look forward to its second season

12. The men on this show are complete idiots.

But I'm glad that the mom has a fully realized, intelligent character.
