This show is not to be watched with any expectations or basic knowledge on anything, the plot is just sad.
The people of earth have discovered a new home in the Alpha Centauri star system, which is mostly like earth, do not explain how we got there what sort of spaceship we used nothing, just that if you have money and intelligence you can go to the new earth and start your life on a better note. Something goes wrong mid way and a robot appears destroying the ship all the people who survive evacuate in their space-Pods and suddenly sent to a mysterious planet, which is worst part of the series.
The planet gets super-heated and super-cooled as it passes its star that is orbits killing everything on the planet making it a lifeless rock, but this event takes many years and there is a huge livable gap that comes in between, now this is where you kill some brain cells, if only a few thousand or hundred years is the livable this on the planet then how are animals living there, where was the time to evolve? (my guess thru the power of the witter), the planet some how maintains exact oxygen, hydrogen and carbon-dioxide etc.. levels for humans to survive.
Will Robinson sees an alien robot and he climbs a tree to a height of 1 storied building and the robot attacks him in turn he pushes the robot of the tree and voila the robot is now his slave.
The Robinson family, everyone in the Robinson family has a high IQ besides the father, who is just the muscle to move stuff around and gather resources. The daughters have the worst character building that I have come across
- John Robinson, lumber-jack dad who spent to much time with government missions around the world than with his family and does not know how to be apart with the family again.
- Maureen Robinson, boss of the family no one can argue with her on anything and yes she is a strong, independent, working women. she helped in building the spacecraft but had no idea what sort of engine will be used to make it function LOL.
- Judy Robinson, jumps to get anything done and yes she too is a strong, independent, young working medical professional. You need medical assistance for any medical condition Judy is your best hope and she has PTSD.
- Penny Robinson, stuck on a stranded planet that is almost about to be absorbed into a black-hole but is way more concerned about having a relationship.
- Will Robinson, this guy is a living beta encyclopedia on all related subjects, controls and alien robot but never bothers to help unless you meet his requirements for the robot to engage in the situation.
moving on to the worst character in the series Dr. Smith, don't care the character is replaced with a woman but those 1960's clothing and hair-style with no specific reason for her not to be caught before boarding the spaceship and surviving there is no motivation for her keeping the facade on, just lazy writing.
when the robot gets out of human control and back to its original programming, it adheres to Will Robinson final instruction thru the power of love yes LOVE.
