watching first episode now. never saw the original. It's pretty good so far, a bit sappy though. I'll enjoy watching this with the kids.

1st episode was okay, a bit slow. Obviously not the fun, campy style of the original. Billy Mumy (original Will Robinson) cameo as the real Dr. Smith was a fun easter egg for us old guys. See where it goes the next few episodes. Visuals were really good.

I’m gonna watch tonight. I tried to watch the 1998 movie version the other night, and it was just awful. The CGI is terrible. I’m excited for this though.

Is the cool theme music in it? If so, I'm in.

Perfectly cast but a terrible plot/script. They were trying to use CGI that wouldn't be perfected until the 2000's. Their attempt at a pre-Gollum CGI cast member was a big failure.

Yeah you’re right, the cast is great. Maybe the movie was just ahead of its time lol.

That pilot episode was/is so bad that it was insulting.

Bad writing, bad directing, bad production .... bad bad bad science.

Where to begin?

First, the writers and Director for that show should be incarcerated ... in the deepest darkest bowels of the most hellish prison in Africa.

Secondly ... producers and Director should be cast out to sea in an inflatable backyard pool and, if they were to survive the crossing, perhaps that would have given them time to reflect on what a shite product they tried to pawn-off on us.

Third. Since when did Will become such a little pussy? When did Maureen become such a modern day lying manipulative bitch? And how the frick is Judy .... I mean, WTF?

Now, last but not least and this one really pisses me off but never, not ever, has Hollywood so obviously illustrated their open disdain for our collective intellegence.

The science was so frickin' bad in this movie I literally caught myself practically talking to myself out loud saying, "oh, please no. No, not that. WTF. Who wrote this horrible shite?" It was that goshdamn bad.

The geology was bad, the physics were bad, the meteorology was bad, the psychology was bad, the botany was bad, the robotics was bad ... we should all be seriously insulted that they threw this shite out there and expect us to watch it.

I am going to eat their frickin' lunch on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. That crap I just watched was seriously not even one star worthy.

Hell, even the sappy Sophie's Choice background score was pathetic. I kept thinking, who are they targeting with this bullshite? Women? Goth kids? Cuck nerds?

The nerds will eat their lunch on this on the bad science alone.

I give it one star and that's half star too much.

That movie was so bad the only way they could move copies of the DVD was to have it be a free movie w/DVD players.

Well, hell, I'll be the lone wolf to say I'm enjoying it. The cast grew on me and I'm on the third episode. It's great, so far.

Are you seriously too thick and decrepit to understand the concept of adoption and mixed race families?

Are you seriously so snowflakish and millenialtard as to try to play the race card here you idiot?

My statement had nothing to do with race you goshdamn wet behind the ears adolescent. My statement was directed toward her not following the orders of her military trained Dad and, in doing so, endangering the lives of her entire family. Her actions forced other members of her family, the male members, to take unnecessary risks in their effort to save her stupid arse.

Additionally ... riddle me this. She's frozen in ice - which would have crushed her. She's frozen in ice that froze forty feet deep in less than a minute ... whichz if you do the math, there is no place cold enough in this entire universe to do that ... from a thermodynamic perspective.

They magically walked for hours to get to a cave where, supposedly there was pure magnesium to be had, and John Robinson walked back for hours, uphill, in what they were saying was -60 weather ... and he had no mask or hat on. His lungs would have frozen.

Let's keep going. He magically ignites the magnesium with a homemade torch and magically manages to get the magnesium to burn exactly down to Judy without it penetrating her suit.

But it doesn't stop there! Oh hell no.

So then, it's cold enough to have frozen water 40 feet deep almost instantly ... but then it starts raining and puts out the homemade torch which cause them to lose their ability to light the magnesium while the hole they have already melted starts freezing over again ... WHILE IT OS RAINING no less.

This show is shite. It is insulting.

Play the race card with that bitch.
