FTA-TV Lost in Space Reboot

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I'm stoked to see this get a reboot. Hits Netflix in April.

Will be better than The Last Jedi

Parker Posey plays Dr. Smith, that alone makes me excited this is going in a great direction.

Cannot
Wait.

I so loved this Tv show as a kid.

Hope I am not let down.

Hope I am not let down.

Me too, but a reboot that's more science fiction than the supernatural, magical, fantasy, monster tropes of the original is long overdue.

Do you remember the Black Hat guys that could freeze time from the original?

Scared the shit out of me on every re run.

Will be better than The Last Jedi

AFLW is better than TLJ

AND I HATE AFLW

Of course they can't resist changing some things to hit the usual 'must tick all demographics boxes', instead of leaving the main casting choices the same as the original. Still it appears from the trailer they haven't gone so overboard with being 'diverse' that they've turned into Lost in Space in name only. The spin on the robot looks interesting, seeing where they go with that.

Was that the one's with glittery black faces with no features, and wore like bowler hats?

I have a few fond memories of the original series.

Trip through the Robot - where the robot becomes as big as a house and Will goes inside it to fix him.

Fugitives in Space - where Don and Dr. Smith find themselves at a prison camp and escape by cooperating, then hate each as soon as they're back with the Robinson's again.

This will not end well. The old series is what, early 1960's?
It is like 50 years or more old and the audiences totally different in what expected.
Do not understand trying to remake something unless intend to continue where it ended.

 

[GROTTO]

The series will fail because I think there will be a lack of ideas after the first season. The original Lost in Space was very campy with a lot of episodes.

What may have worked well is to have small mini series for a few years.

Yes the bowler hats...never spoke...just crept about whilst Robbos froxen

Ha...Robot inside a classic. He innstructed Will what and where to go

The Eps on the Planet were gold....guest stars...crazy plots.

Never fear...Smith is here.

Nincompoop!

 

[Kirby]

It was my favourite show as a kid and all I wanted was to be Will Robinson.

The trailer looks good.

The ship looks a fair bit like the Millenium Falcon

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Crush—Kill—Destroy!

What would be the point of that? If they tried to recreate the original in style and content it would fail badly with today's audience IMO. Those old episodes look pretty hokey these days. This is only going to be a ten episode series, so I hope it's a science fiction nerdgasm.

Im going to watch this tonight. Havent seen it ever before, but for a show made in the 1960s it looks pretty good for sci fi.

At a time where it was only b&W and cheap special effects this show would put a lot of big budget today sci-fi movies to shame.

Wat are you watching...the whole 60s series or just the Pilot? It is very dour the first few eps but once on the Planet and hits colour it is the LIS we love.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Looks like they're taking it seriously which is always a better way to go than the "Look how kitschy we are" approach of Dr Who.

Too many skin colors?

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Jonathon Harris was a one of a kind, you could never recreate that role as good as he did it. Like no one will ever do Spock as good as Nimoy. It was pretty much his creation of Dr. Smith that saved the original series, and why it eventually became about Will & Dr. Smith, and not the family.

I never seen the b&W version, i thought I may watch it late at night. I meant this was made over 50+ years ago, its impressive the special effects used.

Although every planet they crashed on tended to look the same because they reused the sets repeatedly. The original series has a charm and was very much old school TV in the way it was made because Irwin Allen produced it, and that's how he made TV shows.

I really enjoyed the original. Matt Leblanc is an underrated actor.

Loved LIS. I have little hope for this.
