Um.

Parker Posey is as good in a shit role as you could expect someone to be. I hate character roles that are totally self-destructive in no redeemable way. Smith literally just goes out of her way to fuck shit up for no real purpose other than to be a plot point. You can’t even explain this away as ‘she’s insane’, 20…

I suppose you don’t watch your beloved Hockey game if it runs into overtime because “dammit, a game should only last 90 minutes!”

I haven’t seen the last episode yet (probably gonna watch it tomorrow), but the scene with the sacrificed fuel to try to save the guy that ended up dying anyway really aggravated me. But before that, when they were transferring the fuel from the buried Jupiter, wtf was Don doing for 3 hours while the fuel was being…

Eels don’t magically teleport into sealed systems and tanks though! Nor do they jump way up into some engine vent and work their way into the fuel system. Sure, maybe if the Jupiters landed in that lake, but from the ones we saw, only the Robinson’s crashed into melty glacial ice. Then again, alien eels, who knows.

Thank goodness it wasn’t just us. I’m often accused of not being entertainable enough for most entertainment, but I hoped out of this after episode 2.

I loved the new show, and the cast is terrific, especially the three actors playing the Robinson kids. But ... the Robinson kids in the script:

I wanted to like this show, I really did, and so did Miao Yin. But we couldn’t get past the writers’ reliance on cheap conveniences to move the plot forward, and bailed after the second episode with prejudice. To wit:

I already said Angela, and someone else already said Goddard, but the Debbie thing totally went over my head. Thanks.

What they said was there wasn’t enough water/moisture in the desert near where that ship crashed. So I’m fine with that.

At least I wasn’t alone in my viewing torture. I loved it when Will is plugging in the power lines for the super bright light and Dad says “Wire them in parallel like Christmas lights.” Then Will jiggles the cables and says OK.

Keyster?

They can fight over whatever they want, that wasn’t the point. You can’t take your kids far away without the other parents permission or going through a bunch of legal stuff. And she was like, here sign some papers so I can take the kids to another planet and we’ll never see you again. Generally, parents don’t agree…

I’m about 6 episodes in and somehow still watching. For a science fiction series, they sure seem like a bunch of English majors*.

Ever since I saw the movie Papillon, I keep my keys in an odd location.

Hmm, It’s almost like people getting involved in ICOs are idiots.

I see no issues with this plan, and have started the process of updating all of my passwords to horseballs88 as well. Starting, of course, with the master password to my password manager...gotta do it right!

Also, June Lockhart.

I’m only on the third episode, but I have to agree, I don’t really like Dr. Smith’s backstory and motivation. 

I still can’t figure out, if as they said in earlier interviews this takes place roughly 40 years from now, how cell phones, computers, laptops and even home TV sets look EXACTLY as they do today (?) So it’s nearly half a century in the future and we’re in the habit of stealing alien tech, and haven’t advanced one…
