I said that Heather Graham was a reason to watch it, clearly a reference to her physical hotness. He responded with Lacey Chabert who will always be 15/16 in the film. I mean, I was kind of kidding but come one.

Lacey Chabert's hotness was 1000% a reason I watched it so much growing up, so I get what he was going for. Heather Graham too ofc.

etalian posted:Just watch The 100 instead of this big fat mess of a show. If you give the people in "Lost in Space" a ballistic missile with a warhead they would try to get the fuel, fail, lose the warhead in the process and have the missile fall on a person or two - maybe throw in a chariot. At the end of the episode the robot finds the warhead, turns it into fuel, heals the wounded person(s) and highfives the little boy. If you would do that in "The 100" the team that would get the missile would fire it onto themselves to make a point and show them that they mean business and are not to be fooled with. The survivors would smear themselves in feces while shouting "HEDDA HEDDA" and then commit mass suicide by jumping off a cliff. The other team would stuff their kids into cannons and fire them against a mountain to test the electric cabling of the fire mechanism. Some wild people would make wild grunting noises. There is a subtile difference here!

I was pretty meh on the show, but I'll give it another chance for Season 2 if it gets renewed. The setup seems like it might be more interesting - they're in space, they're not stuck on StupidWorld, the other survivors aren't annoying usPaybackJack posted:At first I thought that was cool, then I realized that's the VOY-era uniform and just shook my head.

Couple of questions since I watched the first couple episodes while half-asleep the other night and don't feel like going back to rewatch them. 1. How old is Judy supposed to be? She looks 14 but the way everybody, especially Don, treats her makes me think she's meant to be older. There was mention of her missing her prom, but that doesn't mean much in the context of kids being an actual part of a scientific team on a mission to AC. 2. Does Smith have an actual plan or objective she's trying to accomplish? I think some of this was covered in ep2, but I don't remember specifics. As of episode 6 it seems like she just likes to gently caress with people.

She wants to go back to the Resolute with the robot as her bodyguard so she doesn't get jailed or executed. She explains this. They really should've made Judy older.

That turn of knocking out Maureen was dumb, but still. That was the goal. The most confusing thing was not dragging the alien ship back to the Jupiter for study in the first place, eliminating the "necessity" of that. Lycus fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Apr 17, 2018 |

As of episode 6 it seems like she just likes to gently caress with people. She is shown to be a survivor basically. She is willing to say or do whatever she thinks will save her in the moment. loving with people in certain circumstances could benefit her like trying to implicate other people for her crimes to make her more trustworthy and eliminate threats. My issue with her character is that she decides she wants the robot to be on her side so she enacts a 30 point plan, effortlessly manipulating more than a dozen people and only gets caught by random luck. She is like the Einstein of liars as she - Convinces Wil to move the robot - Convinces the robot Wil will abandon it - Convinces Wil to call the robot back to the camp - Gets Wil to call the robot back in such a way that Wil will also have to give the robot back it's murderous tendencies - Meets with Angela to assert herself as a therapist - Hide a gun so that specifically Angela finds it - Meets with Angela again to have a therapy session where she makes her want to kill the robot - Convince Wil leave the moment Angela comes to confront the robot so that he can not stop it from defending itself - Cause Wil to have to destroy or abandon the robot because of the murderous tendencies she manipulated him into giving it and also not being present to stop - Mixing in countless small moments where she steers everyone with slight nudges in the perfect way to influence their actions - Capitalizing on the previous seeding of doubt in the alien robot, fix it and become it's new master I'll admit though that this level of plate spinning becomes more plausible when you realize how dumb everyone else is. The Robinsons are shown to be a completely transparent family where they share most things and vote on them democratically but the parents leave a psychopath locked in the ship without telling everyone that she is there or what she did. When Judy gets the proof at the real Smith's Jupiter she instead just goes to talk to the dead kid's family and doesn't come back for an entire day to finally tell her mother. When they manage to knock her out they just leave her and try to run away. So how much of it is impossibly intricate plotting and how much of it is tricking idiots?

One way they could've cut way down on Smith's convoluted plotting is just have her plan be to bond with Will. Then she would've figured she had protection through Will's affection. Manipulate family drama to isolate Will, then be his friend.

Yeah and I explained that I was half asleep and missed a lot, sometimes we all miss blatant explanations. That's ok though. The only things I really remember about Smith from the first couple episodes are that she is not who she claims to be and that she can't stop won't stop loving with people. Did not remember the Robot factoring into her plans. That makes her make a little more sense in the last couple episodes I've watched, but not a lot. This is also ok though, because most of the stuff these people are getting up to doesn't make a lot of sense either.

Smith is the very definition of an unreliable narrator. She claims to be a good person that just wants to start over but everyone keeps getting so judgey about her murdering a few people and god why won't they just leave her alone to start over and maybe if I have a killer robot they won't pester me and even then when the robot kills everything on the ship it won't be me doing evil things it'll be the robot and then we'll get to the colony and I definitely won't have to murder everyone there and I can just be a farmer and

What I don't get is (episode 2?) why she ditched Don and Angela at the start. Instead of staying with the only humans who she knew for sure were alive on the surface, she decided to set out on her own into a huge storm that she knew was coming, while also loving over two people who had absolutely no reason to not help her at that point.

I think there was some conversation between Don and Smith just before they got to that stopping point about how they might be able to stay just ahead of the storm and make it back to their ship if it wasn't for Angela. So she grabbed the flare gun just in case and then took off.

I think the point was that he was going to grab Angela either way, because he's a softie that pretends to be hard, and that protesting was just part of the "character" she was playing. So she wouldn't have actually given a poo poo if he left Angela. Lycus fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Apr 18, 2018 |

I think the point is these characters are all loving dumb and should all be sucked into the black hole. Except for the robot and Debbie. They need their own show. I just finished the episode where Will makes Robot jump off the cliff and that’s when the show got too dumb for even mindless background viewing. His character makes me hate all children. Seriously, you feel responsible for Robot so you murder it? Way to go, George. “I can’t control Lennie so I guess my only choice is to kill him!” I think I hate this show now. Does it get any better?!

Like I'm a messenger and I drive around all day for a living and I couldn't just help but laugh when their decision during the geyser field was to have the guy get out of the emergency hatch, crawl to the back and then take like a minute or more (I forget how many times they said the times during that scene) to try and plug the trailer connection back in. Except, if you knew anything about driving (and I don't even drive a big truck), then you'd know it would have taken like 10, maybe 15 seconds, total to come to a complete stop (opening the doors as you stop), have someone jump out, plug the connection back in, jump back in the vehicle and then get back up to speed again. And since the unplugged connection is what is supposed to have made them just miss clearing the geyser field because it caused the vehicle to slow down from top speed for however long it was (again somewhere between 1-2 minutes). If they had just stopped and plugged the trailer back in, they almost certainly would have cleared the geyser field with plenty of time to spare.

Why is Will's box springs made out of handicapped bathroom railing that's the last thing I'd want bouncing around my metal bedroom with me when the ship hits some space turbulence also if The Hub is where you can survive even getting hit by a meteor because I guess you don't have bones in space or something but after you survive why do you have to dismantle the dining room table to get out you're still gonna need a place to eat dinner after the end of the world
