Let me guess: people are complaining that it’s a SJW liberal remake with all kinds of weird minority and gender choices in casting? Why can’t they just leave well enough alone and make our men white, our children straight, and our women servile? [Reply]
I made it through the pilot ep, which seemed okay, although maybe a little slow.
However, the latest season of Bosch dropped yesterday, too, and it's REALLY good, at least through 6 episodes. So once I'm done with that I'll try more Lost in Space. [Reply]

Is that really a guess or did you plagiarize it from my rotten tomatoes review?! :-) [Reply]

When I was a little kid I was obsessed with Lost in Space, because I could never watch it. The reruns were broadcast on channel 41 out of Kansas City and Jeff City cable didn't carry it. I might be able to see an episode or two a year if I was visiting relatives. Being able to see an episode was almost magical.
Finally, I found it on syfy and tried to watch - it was awful. Like worse than the worst original Star Trek episode. [Reply]

Same here. I stumbled across a few episode over the last few years and they suck. It's a case of remembering what I wanted it to be instead of what it was. [Reply]

It required the magic of a child’s eye, that’s for sure. [Reply]

To be fair, only about half of the original Star Treks are watchable. I'd sooner watch a soccer game than the episode about the space hippies. Ugh. In fact, now that I have the ability to watch them any time I want on Netflix, even with the updated CGI, I'll still only a handful of them. And the only one I watch with any regularity is The Doomsday Machine.
But back in the day Star Trek was on every Saturday night at 10:15, and I watched it religiously. [Reply]
