Lost In Space
 

I couldn't find a thread just on this, mods if there is one feel free to remove.

Some fun fact released by Netfilix which should keep the General happy.

The money Netflix have spent on these suits alone augers well for for the series!

I know I'm looking forward to it.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Hopefully it will live up to the hype Pip.

Re: Lost In Space
 

thanks for the info Pip. I love stuff like this, if you have got a production company which is willing to pay for it and a team of people who care so much about the fine details and want to do the best they can then you know you are going to get an amazing series. I keep going on about my "realism factor" and it is stuff like this I am talking about. I am sure they could have knocked up some cheapo naff £10 gloves thinking nobody is going to care and the audience will be dazzled with all the special effects but they have chosen to do things properly so every detail is realistic and you can believe it is all happening.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Attendees at AwesomeCon in DC were shown episode 1 of Lost in Space and if their comments on social media are to believed it's going to be AWESOME! There's a link there somewhere.

Re: Lost In Space
 

For those interested here's a review from Tom Gardiner who like myself and General Maximus loves quality SciFi. He's also lucky enough to have a critics pass to preview a lot of SciFi progs.

Re: Lost In Space
 

I want one

Re: Lost In Space
 

I'd love one too!

Fun fact. He lost his SYFY pass for criticizing them for cancelling Dark Matter.

Re: Lost In Space
 

I can';t wait for this.

It didn't have a thread but had been mentioned in the Scifi thread and also one of the TV threads I think.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Yep Stephen, it didn't have it's own thread but if the hype is anything to go by I'm sure you'll agree it deserves it.

Not too long before we find out.

Re: Lost In Space
 

yup, this thread is going to be around for the next 5 years or so I imagine.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Will the whole season be available straight away to binge watch?

Re: Lost In Space
 

What an excellent question. I was preparing myself for one episode a week. I have just checked and they are going to be dumped all in one go for a binge watch. It is going to be good in a way because when we watch it and think how amazing it is, we won't have to wait weeks on end to see what happens. At the same time though I like things to be spread out because I don't want them to end. I have the same dilemma with GoT. Every year I say how much I would love to have the whole season to watch in one go because it kills me waiting every week but at the same time I complain when it is all over and done with, how quickly it went by and I want more. From the look and feel of the trailer Lost in Space is going to have the same serious tone and quality deep story of series like BSG and the icing on the cake is that with it being made "available" on a Friday, you can play an Saturday or Sunday of fine tv, wine, pizza, doritos etc.

Re: Lost In Space
 

As its a Netflix created show it should be the full season at once.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Cheers guys, i guess we will need to have spoilers in this thread then as to not spoil it for others.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Need to have???

Re: Lost In Space
 

By that I assume you mean spoiler tags ?

They wont be neccessary once its aired.
If you dont want to see spoilers after that, dont read the thread.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Latest and I presume last trailer. Plus previous.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Just watched episodes 1 and 2 - mostly enjoyable, a bit hokey st times, but will definitely watch the rest.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Just finished ep 1, i'll report back after ep 2

Re: Lost In Space
 

3 episodes in and loving it. The visual effects are fantastic as well.

Re: Lost In Space
 

ok, so there are a few things bugging me and it is to do with the pace. I love flashbacks but I could have done with episode 1 being an origin story, explaining the situation on earth, showing them doing their training, being introduced with the ship so we can be shown round it, going off into space and the crash happening at the end of the episode. You need to set it up properly and cannot assume everyone can remember/has seen the original series and know the story. If this is all we are going to get at the end of episode 2 it is a bit lacklustre because the other gripe I have is the way all the characters are behaving (insubordinately) and the children panicking all the time demonstrates a lack of training and discipline. There should be a clear chain of command which they should give them reassurance to follow in emergency situations and their training and knowledge should easily have given them the confidence to overcome some of the situations they have been in.
Going back to the pace thing, it is the little things which really bug me and I need to see certain things being done or said so you know it has happened and it is real (my realism factor). You went from them all being on the surface straight back into the ship and undressed melting ice and doing whatever else. I know the dad and the robot were down there giving them a head start but I would have liked to have seen then make there way down (however they got down there) or at least see the dad on the ship tell them they can come down over the radio. I don't like big jumps in the story like that.

I won't do anymore moaning till I have finished all 10 eps (unless something really annoying happens).

Re: Lost In Space
 

I didn't mind not having it all totally linear. We know roughly how things happened and the little flash backs filling us in gradually on what took place and how certain character came to be in that situation.

Also having just the family on the ship meant they could get away with having the ship auto pilot go wrong.

I get that they wanted to change things up and also having the parents separated and the awkwardness of them all being a stuck in their situation and having to overcome that as well made me enjoy it more.

I get you feel the pacing is off and you want to see them actually going from A to B but sometimes that slows down the story and is not helpful to moving things forward.

Re: Lost In Space
 

All 10 watched. Totally loved it and can't wait for a second season.

The last few episodes really picked up the pace and the ending was unexpected.

Re: Lost In Space
 

I am only just coming to the end of ep 4. I was hoping to get up to 6 tonight and then the rest tomorrow but i dont think i am going to make it. I'll defo have it finished by Monday night.

Re: Lost In Space
 

l have not started episode 1 yet as things have been rather nicely time limited these past few days but l will try to watch the 1st episode tomorrow.

Re: Lost In Space
 

I really love the sets for the Jupiter and the design of the ship itself. Hope there is a model kit at some point.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Available to buy now. First issue only 99p *regular price £5, 200 issues to collect, total cost £1000

Re: Lost In Space
 

Ive only seen Ep 1 so far, but this was pretty much my view.

Mostly, enjoyable, the whole stuck in ice thing dragged on a bit, and the conclusion to it was totally predictable.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Is it like the 60s version ?

Re: Lost In Space
 

It is magnitudes better.

I've seen all 10 and can't wait for a second season.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Only in name, and basic premise.

Re: Lost In Space
 

The premise and the ship name and all the main characters are in there but there are many changes to modernise things and for me it really worked and was done really well.

The original theme is even there.

Did anyone else who has seen the first episodes spot the cameo from an original cast member??

Re: Lost In Space
 

Bill Mumy.

Re: Lost In Space
 

ok so I am all caught up. Funnily enough things seems to have calmed down after the first two eps. There were quite a few things which really bugged me in the first two eps I watched so as this was the first time I was going to bulk-watch something I actually got a pen and some paper ready because I thought I was going to have a massive list of stuff to moan about it. It turns out that there was only one more thing which bugged me which was in ep 3 and that was the doctor killing the security dude in the air lock. Who makes an air lock with such pansy ass safety features that a security officer can go in it and be blown into space. Where are the overrides?

Anyway, it was good and the production quality is very very good. I am glad other survivors/crews were in it as well to help break things up a bit and it will be interesting to see what happens next season. I think it is a very good pilot season and I look forward to them building on the characters next season. I think Judy is great and the dad a waste of space. They need to do some balancing because the dad who I assumed to be captain/mission commander very much takes a back seat in everything and super mum always makes the decisions, knows everything and can do everything.

The one little niggle I have is that it wasn't what I was expecting it to be. I don't know how to explain it but due to the perilous situation they are in I was expecting it to have the same level of intensity as The Expanse.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Good review.

I am up to episode 6, and whilst mostly enjoying it, I have some annoyances/niggles with fairly basic plot holes, such as

But beside that, I'll keep watching.

Re: Lost In Space
 

You have hit the nail on the head Hugh and this is what I mean when I talk about my realism factor. The situation and circumstances and be entirely implausible/fictitious but you ask yourself "in those circumstances what would I do?" Like you said, if you built a security fence and something got through and trashed your last ditch hope at getting off the planet surely you would check it to find out what happened and to make sure nothing else could get through and kill you while you were sleeping. It is just little things like this which make me wish I could be advanced preview person and point these things out and get them to fix it. You are only talking about a few second of extra dialogue to wrap up lose ends. You just need the group leaders to tell someone to go and check out the fence and I would be happy.

Re: Lost In Space
 

l have watched the first episode finally and thus so far its pretty good.

Re: Lost In Space
 

But them as much as some of these this are annoying the writers clearly forgot about all those things for plot convenience over anything else. Especially thins like the air lock security guy death.

In terms of the mum being in charge and also the engineer that was clearly a modern equality thing and the dad being a useless bloke as again to do with this. To try and show that he was not a very good dad and can;t handle certain situations.

I think the second season will be more like the Lost in Space we know

Re: Lost In Space
 

Lost In Space has been renewed for Season 2 by Netflix.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Season 2 will be released on Dec 24th (2019).

Re: Lost In Space
 

Re: Lost In Space
 

Can't wait to see second series...

Re: Lost In Space
 

Me too.:D

Re: Lost In Space
 

Good month. Lost in Space, The Expanse and Vikings.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Well I finally got around to watching season 2 and all I can say is..... bloody awesome!

Anyone else enjoy it?

Re: Lost In Space
 

Yes, it was far better than the first season.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Yes, a big improvement. Far more going on in each episode. The first season, especially the first half of the first season, suffered from a lack of ideas, far too few things spun out for far too long to fill an hour of TV. There’s a sense of momentum now.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Re: Lost In Space
 

That’s been a long time coming

Re: Lost In Space
 

Yeah. I am really looking forward to it and gutted it is the last season. I understand why they are doing it but there is so much more story to tell and room to grow.

Re: Lost In Space
 

I think they turned it round nicely after a shaky start. Most of season 1 was very badly paced - glacially slow in parts and just generally too little happening in each episode. I was slightly surprised it got renewed for season 2 but second time out was much better and I’m very glad they’re doing a third. Also though it’s good that they’ve said in advance that this is where it ends, so we’re not going to end up with an unresolved cliffhanger at the end of it all.

Re: Lost In Space
 

I'll have to rewatch season 2 shortly as I can't actually remember what happened. It was so long ago.

Re: Lost In Space
 

says who?

i can remember most of it and the key things that happened but i think I am going to try and squeeze it again because I enjoy it that much that I want to make sure I haven't forgotten anything which would ruin the next season.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Says me. ;)

I choose my words carefully - a good cliffhanger conclusion to a story leaves the reader/viewer with things to think about but not feeling robbed, as if it was obviously set up for a continuation that then never happened. So if there is a cliffhanger it won’t be “unresolved” in that sense. We know this is the final season, so it will have been crafted for the viewer to engage with and resolve for themselves.

On the other hand they may decide to tie the story up neatly with no cliffhanger at all. In that case we’re still free to speculate about what the characters might do next.

Re: Lost In Space
 

:D

I was expecting it around December, there were 20 months between Season 1 & Season 2, and 23 months this time around.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Re: Lost In Space
 

The first season was very meh ... the second was so much better, I'm looking forward to Season 3.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Season 3 has turned out to be one of the best of the lot - really came out of it's shell - some of the episodes and graphical showing of space, very much reminded me of Star Wars, shame it has come to an end, or has it? ;)

Re: Hawkeye
 

Lost in Space is quite a revelation, even better than season 2 and so far beyond season 1 it’s hard to see them as the same show. Somehow there’s a classic Star Wars aesthetic about it, notably Empire Strikes. It also helps that Christopher Lennertz has allowed his entire score to be influenced by John Williams rather than just shoehorning in a couple of bars of the original theme.

Re: Hawkeye
 

Agreed Chris.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Just finished this, it was great and ends perfectly.

Re: Hawkeye
 

That's interesting, I gave up on Lost in Space after a couple of episodes. I may revisit it.

Re: Hawkeye
 

Season 1 wasnt great, season 2 was so much better, not seen 3 yet.

Re: Hawkeye
 

All the remakes and reimagining are much bleaker that the originals. Shame they can't keep the fun on the older but with better visuals and maybe a little more into the plots.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Agreed, really enjoyed it, but is it really the end?

Re: Lost In Space
 

End as we know it but they do leave it open for potential spinoffs.

Re: Lost In Space
 

Just finished Season 3.

It was a bit slow to get going, especially episode 1, but after that, it was great, and finished well.

As for a spinoff, well, its always possible, but probably unlikely.
