Netflix Lost in Space

[Mook]

I'm enjoying it but the dialogue definitely could use some work...but its meant to appeal to a much broader audience so I'm ok with it.

 

[Flyn]

Just finished watching the real rocket launch so it's time for a couple more episodes tonight.

 

[Mook]

Man, they really made Smith overly "powerful". Its getting ridiculous. Manipulation of the kids, ok...but adults? I hope they give her more of a backstory of master con artist or something cause so far, its not believable at all.

Edit: 80s throwback ftw

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Yeah. I had trouble with just how easily people fell for it. It’s like these people just don’t talk to each other.

 

[Mook]

And what...her goal is to sabotage everything so that they all die on the planet.....?

 

[Mook]

How the fuck does she know where everyone is and whats going on at all times? She found the "burial spot", found the robot....she knows EVERYTHING....god this is infuriating. She is so poorly written and executed...not to mention I cant stand the actress playing her...whether thats b/c of the writing or just her in general, I havent decided.

Oh, so shes gonna put the robot back together even though its been proven time and time again she has NO mechanical skills, whatsoever.

WHAT DOES SHE STAND TO GAIN BY BEING A MASSIVE CUNT WHILE STRANDED ON AN ALIEN WORLD

This show would be infinitely better without her. The rest of the characters are vastly more interesting.

 

[Mook]

She's literally ruining this show for me.. I can't get past it. It goes so well then she shows up and it just derails everything for me.

I’m three episodes in. So far it’s pretty meh. Watchable but not great. I didn’t see the original so maybe I’m not making some connection.

On a different level though, I find Parker Posey so wildly unattractive that I almost can’t watch the scenes with her in them. And I’m not saying she’s ugly. There’s just some combination of looks, body language and the way she delivers her lines that just repulses me. I’ve never felt this way towards another human. She triggers some primal anger in me. It doesn’t help that she plays a character so one dimensional and predictable that it would ruin it either way.

 

[Mook]

God, I couldn't have said the second part any better.

The show is meant for a wide audience so I'm not being picky with certain things.. But she is one of the worst characters and casting of all time.

 

[Mook]

She is quite possibly the worst written character in all of tv history.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

I find that this version of Dr Smith is all of the worst parts of Laura Roselin from Battlestar Galactica.

There episodes I absolutely hated Roselin, however she also had admirable qualities while I hated her stance on certain things, but ultimately she's a good character with good motivations.

June Harrison (Dr Smith) is completely irredeemable based on her actions in the the opening season. Even her one good act at the end of the last episode doesn't make up for the horribleness of her actions. I'd space her for sure without regret.

The other problem I have is just how everything falls into place for her manipulations, she's got the easy cheat button somewhere. She literally doesn't make ANY mis-steps. Everyone and everything falls into place for her lies and no one questions anything.

 

[Mook]

Lazy lazy lazy writing.

 

[Mook]

She's an awful actress too. Which is even more pronounced by what I consider a great cast surrounding her.

 

[Mook]

Loved the finale. I feel like it's gonna be at least a year till we get season 2 tho... If at all. No season 2 order yet tho I guess scripts are already being worked on.

I enjoyed the modern take on the old theme. EPS 1&2 are epic and movie worthy.

That's what I thought. It felt like watching a really good movie, not a tv show.

I've only seen the first episode, but had to start it over and watch it a second time it was so good.

I was thinking, about why I think that.

I think that EP1 and EP2 were essentially filmed as a 2 part mini-movie. The characters are down to almost the core cast, and we don't really meet the other survivors until Eps 3 and later. Then in the finale we are left with just the original 60's core characters.

Though I could blow smith out the airlock and not care.

 

[SleeperLS]

I agree with the sentiment that the Dr Smith character ruins the show. I actually enjoy the show until she shows up in a scene.

 

[Mook]

Yup. Terrible casting, terrible writing for her.

 

[SleeperLS]

I do have to say a big WTF to these people only having sharp sticks to defend themselves. They are traveling to a distant planet with unpredictable life forms and don't have any weapons that are over a cave man's capability to make. Get the fuck outta here.

 

[10sec]

I just finished it, and being so predictable I knew there was no way they were getting to that ship, then more story opened up for season 2. I thought it was mildly entertaining, but if you really want to make it more dramatic, knowing nobody is going to die kinda ruins that aspect.

 

[Mook]

Green light for season 2.

The first thing they should have done when they crashed was to 'print' a bunch of guns. I don't understand the dislike of weapons that would more than likely save their lives.

 

[Mook]

They should have printed a new Smith.

 

[blakbearddelite]

I'm not a huge Parker Posey fan myself. She always plays a twat, and not even a likable twat.
