Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlpha Centauri, a.k.a. Alpha Centauri AB, is currently classified (as of 2012, at any rate) as a binary star, approximately 4.37 light years from Earth, with its 2 stars designated as A (the larger) and B (the smaller). Proxima Centauri, a.k.a. Alpha Centauri C, is .2 light years from Alpha Centauri AB. At 1/7th the size, its sun is much smaller than ours and not visible to the naked eye, but its distance from Earth is 'just' 4.24 light years, making it the closest star to ours. It was discovered in 1915. An Earth-mass planet had been detected in orbit around Alpha Centauri B, but, It's not in the habitable zone, instead orbiting very close to the host star. Its surface temperature is estimated to be 1200 °C (about 2200 °F or 1500 K) - far too hot for liquid water, and also above the melting temperatures of many silicate magmas.
- GoofsThe narrator calls the Jupiter 2 an "intergalactic" vehicle. It plainly isn't, as the J2's stated mission is to travel from our star system to a neighboring one, within the same galaxy.

Featured review
Where it all began!
This is the first episode of Lost in Space! The Classic Series that is, and the way that the family gets lost and the characters of Dr. Smith and the Robot are completely different in this version! This episode mostly focuses on the character of Dr. Smith, who is shown to be much more evil here then he is in later episodes. This first episode starts off like a documentary and captures the feeling of a real space mission with space technology and the best spaceship ever, the Jupiter 2. But its not all science fiction- there is a adorable scene where the kids Penny and Will float around the ship in microgravity and play together. But the feeling is much darker than other episodes, and we see how Dr. Smith manipulates young Will. This episode is really good because it shows how adults and kids might see the world (or rather the universe) differently, going back and forth from a dark adult world into the eyes of the family. The parents also get good character development and Maureen actually avoids sexist stereotypes in this episode. I like how different characters have different opinions about going back to Earth or not. But mostly this episode is just pure action and drama with a realistic feeling science fiction setting.
