I also watched the first 3 episodes of Lost in Space this weekend. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I’d only seen snippets of the old school TV show, but never cared for it. I don’t care for camp. Star Trek, while campy in its own right, was at least mostly serious.

This new series, I keep comparing to the 90’s film. The film was a decent popcorn flick, but this show actually is interesting. I like the characters, but I wish they didn’t write the Dad as one of those he’s-never-there types. Also, the “Dr. Smith” character is much more interesting in this series, despite my comparative liking for Gary Oldman as an actor. She’s much more creepy and sinister as a criminal with no concience, while Oldman’s Smith was simply evil because he liked being evil.

It’s good. I think I’ll keep watching it.

JEDIT: Also, I’ve heard a number of people say the Robot looks like a Geth. I hadn’t thought of that, but it’s true. And that just gets me more interested.
