Milo and POTUS posted:I only made it like 4 episodes through (until now) but whoever that rear end in a top hat was in charge sucked poo poo and I wish they'd just murder him or something cuz goddamn what a shithead. Victor's character was a little weird. They started by setting him up as this antagonist that wants to swing his dick around and start barking orders at people while demanding everything goes through him but then literally everyone just tells him to go gently caress himself and does whatever they want to do anyway. My impression is he was a complication for The Robinsons who we had gotten to know by that point and we weren't supposed to like the guy immediately yelling at Maureen for "visiting her friends" without consulting him. Then he just stands in the background ineffectually after being shut down by children repeatedly.

I don't know if you're not far enough along yet, but later he learns from his kid (who learned from Penny) that the planet is going to get sucked into a black hole*, he crams all the rocket fuel on his own ship and tries to take off and leave everyone else stranded. But the Robinsons stop him and everyone turns on him and he's locked up and poo poo but then by the last episode he's captaining the mothership and rescuing everyone. . Plot holes you could drive a Chariot through in this show, but it was fun. * even though this seemingly has almost no effect on the planet at all

I must have missed him being locked up, that didn't happen did it? They just stopped him and said Maureen is in charge.

The planet isn't going to get sucked into the black hole, it just forced the planets orbit to come too close to the sun which causes the planet to have all sorts of disruptions. In the final episode, before the Resolute shows up John says maybe they can head back to the planet after it passes the sun. I'm not sure how that would work but maybe the planet burns for a month or two as it nears the sun but then an entirely new cycle of life restarts as the planet moves along the rest of it's orbit.

That xenobiologist said the trees all had one ring on them so I think the idea is that once a year the entire planet is immolated and the lush forests and lifeforms all come back extremely quickly. Maybe the growing season for the trees and the "Year" for that planet are an earth decade or something.

His running away wasn't the issue that caused Maureen to take over and stop him, it was that he didn't have enough fuel and wasn't listening to her and was going to get his group killed. His plan to get off the planet and contact the Resolute then bring back help was fine; because that was the very next thing they tried to do. He was taken out of power for being bad at math and not listening to super science mom, not for loving everyone over.

I hope they run across a crazed/timewarped Resolute that went all Lord of the Flies. The Resolute had traveled a trillion lightyears or whatever to that planet with all of the Jupiters in the first place and even if the Robot didn't steal their FTL engine I got the impression humans weren't exactly able to just warp around with it and instead could just launch themselves at something relatively fast. So they aren't exactly just going to open a wormhole and go home and are probably stuck out there hundreds of years from Alpha Centauri.

I like the idea of a whole food chain evolving every year or so when the black hole eats the surface of the planet (instead of the star whose shoulder it's sitting off of) also did the 3d gun printer also print the bullets and the gunpowder is it supposed to be like a star trek replicator they should have just printed a flamethrower when Judy or penny or whoever got stuck in the magic freeze ice

Well they were lost from the beginning since the Resolute was thrown to an uncharted galaxy, they are just double lost since their ship is now randomly FTL jumping. I remember the Resolute captain's broadcast saying that they were going to resume course for Alpha Centauri and everyone cheering but I don't see how their 4 Lightyear cargo hauler that apparently takes days/weeks to make a round trip is supposed to deal with being a million lightyears off course in a completely different galaxy.

The Jupiter had no idea where they were, but maybe the Resolute had better scanners? Did they ever say the Resolute didn't know where they were either?

That's not making a whole lot of sense.though. Trillions of light years away puts you in another galaxy, so looking at the stars only tells you were you aren't, by a factor of fucktons.

Jesus, some of you people really get off on hating this bland, family-fun show. Really wish they had gone for a bit more of a diverse cast. Would’ve loved a whole episode following Hiroki’s family around digging for alien poop and making fun of people in Japanese.

I don't mind bland shows in general, but I feel like when a show is Sci-Fi it's automatically polarized to be better or worse in my mind because it's carrying the flag for the whole genre. I don't like the saying "anything worth doing is worth doing well" but it's how I feel about Sci-fi shows.

Has there ever been a sci-fi show that “did it right”? Even BSG had some pretty horrible stretches. Enjoy the chicken and the fact that Penny didn’t just take back douchey poetry kid just because he half-heartedly apologized after she saved his life.
