I like the vibe vibe of this episode ,it reminds me about the good old times ,when Star Trek : Deep Space Nine was good enough for a primetime hour , it has great action and great visual effects .

With only half a season left (after this episode) "Lost In Space" resets itself again with an unexpected climax to the episode.

Ready to fly to Alpha Centuri, the young crew on the Jupiter are taunted by SAR, via the Robot, that he knows where their parents are an intends to attack. Though the children want to go and help, Judy's (Taylor Russell) mission was to get them to safety and she's unsure how to proceed. Seeing SAR's incoming ship on their long range sensors, and knowing that they have no way to defeat their enemy, the adults decide the only thing they can do is destroy everything on the ship that suggests where Will (Maxwell Jenkins) and the rest of the children might be heading, then wait for annihilation.

There were some unusually dark moments for "Lost In Space". Though the family have managed to get out of every scrape they've been in previously, they quickly acknowledged that this was it - they couldn't defeat SAR's army and accepting their fate was the best course of action. From there, the children's rescue attempt was, I'll have to admit, a bit confusing. With the recorded sounds of the alien language playing in a manner that didn't make much sense, as well as exactly who was where, on which ship and what they were doing.

Performances and visual effects have never been this shows problem and whilst we're not back to the logic issues that plagued season one this whole rescue could have done with a clearer plan and a better-defined goal. As I say though, we're left with four episodes remaining in the whole run and what looks like another mini reboot to finish it off. Intriguing.
