More than the Robinsons are here !
southdavid23 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Following on from the revelation at the end of the previous episode, that numerous Jupiter's had managed to land on the planet... and that the main ship was seemingly still in orbit and looking for them, the space family Robinson set about integrating themselves back into a society of other survivors, whilst attempting to contact the mothership for a rescue.

It's perhaps the most surprising leap from the source material, to increase the overall population on the planet more than the just the extended family. But it seems like a necessary one if the intention is to run this series for a while and avoid too much repetition.

The episode also deepens the story surrounding the Robot/Alien. One of the other survivors saw the destruction that he caused and explains it to Judy, who left in temporary charge of her family decides that the robot needs to leave. Over the course of their journey to put the robot somewhere safe, she begins to warm up to it and, in the end, decides not to share this information with her father

Overall, it's a pretty solid if unspectacular episode. After earlier indifference I am warming to all of the family now and am genuinely interested in the changes and mysteries the show has teased. So Far, So good.

Quiet Relationship Contemplation
GunnersMate16 April 2018
The fourth installment in the series brings us a quieter and more relationship-exploring episode. We explore the spousal tensions, sibling bonding and trust, politics, power-posturing manipulation, and Jupiter neighbors. As has quickly become the norm, the more we learn, the more questions there are to be answered. While some characters are becoming more endearing, others are less and less likable (and that's not just the established villain...). The old show was very family-centric, with visitors (good and bad) showing up for each episode, and the reboot has a much larger character-base to draw from which means that we sometimes get to spend too much time with personalities that are simply uninteresting or completely annoying. While there are pluses and minuses to the expanded universe, the show is already its best when the Robinsons are the primary focus, but it appears that the ancillary characters are a necessary road on our journey through the season's story arc.

Getting better every episode

Really growing to love the casting. Each supporting character is growing on me - but Will (Maxwell Jenkins) is solidly stealing the show. Very impressed so far.

The marathon continues!

Alien chainsaws?

Good episode, but - at 20:17 they walk by a tree stump that's been cut with a saw.

A World with Threats and Mysteries

Warning: Spoilers
I was expecting it to be an average episode 6-7/10 but it turned out to be more promising. Two different teams exploring new places of the planet. However the biome placements doesn't make any sense. Vast glaciers with weird forest on the middle, deserts and lake all nearby?! Character progression, storyline progression. Good.

Perfect example of Adventure genre.

Now I am getting attached to this twisted family with fighter father, Super smart mother, doctor elder daughter, daring son and my favorite Funny younger daughter. Believe me 3/4 of the light tone of this series is just because of Mina Sundwall.

Time for a weapon!
curtirby-6726112 January 2020
As I understand it, Victor is the elected colony representative so he should be able to authorize John to print a weapon - handgun and/or rifle - as they begin to encounter more threats. Or heck, get the Robot to print one - he had no issues getting around security protocols when he printed the handgun for Will.

The fact that the robot is learning human values from Will and should know nothing about the human race except by his interaction with Will, I have to wonder how the robot knew it could print a weapon in the first place. And it seems to know that it's kind (robots) are dangerous to humans so why not build a weapon that blasts hot plasma shots like the robots use when attacking?

And, no, Maureen has no input into this discussion. She has made it clear that she is smarter than most others by her input into building the Resolute but she has no concept of defensive tactics - her SEAL husband does. Let him contribute to their survival by using his skill set developed while in the armed forces.
