Crack Up

[gpierpoint · 8/10 · 12 January 2022]

When Judy tells Penny they were swallowed by a huge salivating monster the response she got was "Oh Really".

Had me on the floor.

Just one of the many little daily adventures those goddamn Robinson's face........

A Peck on the forehead

The ending of the previous episode seemed to be giving us a new, but classic "Lost in Space" set up for the final four episodes. I am starting to worry though that, though it was established that the end was coming with the 'renacelling' for this season, they might have decided to leave some aspects of the plot open ended.

The family Robinson crash land on a marshy planet but are separated. June Harris (Parker Posey) watches as Will (Maxwell Jenkins) risks his life for the bag he needs for he and the Robot's secret mission. Penny (Mina Sundwall) and John (Toby Stephens) locate the wreckage of Robot's ship and discover he has been pinned in place; they work to release him without alerting SAR as to their location. Meanwhile Judy (Taylor Russell) and Maureen (Molly Parker) are trapped on the Jupiter as it's slowly eaten by a large creature.

This was quite a fun episode, splitting up the family allowed for a lot of character work, the most of which is done in the Judy and Maureen sections, which include flashbacks to when Judy was born. You have a lesson in the potential negative effects of constant positive reinforcement. Maureen doesn't mean to, but her years of telling Judy that "she can do anything" have led to her putting undo pressure on herself, including ignoring that she's significantly injured when affecting their rescue.

I still don't get what's going on with Will's plan though. I get that he wants to find out what happened to the people that made the robot, but I don't really understand how a skull and a language he can't understand are going to help - and perhaps more worryingly, I don't see how that can fit into a show that only has three episodes left.

Still, as far as episodes of this series go, this was one of the better ones.

Lethal Weapon 2 Gag?

[lukewhite15 · 7/10 · 4 February 2022]

Was it just me or was the ejector seat, helium, and crate bit a blatant rip off of Lethal Weapon 2's exploding toilet gag? It just needed the "going on 3" bit to be complete.

Otherwise a bit of a filler episode with some humorous moments.

STOP. RUINING. TENSION.

Seriously. You're on a foreign planet being eaten by a gigantic swamp worm. Talk later. Escape now. Instead we get melancholic music and a speech. This series regularly suffers by this writers trope, interjecting off-pace drama during time sensitive scenarios to manufacture danger. Heck, the same trope caused this crash - the previous episode would have been a clear cut escape, if the decoy had been utilised sufficiently. Again, crisis and action is put on hold while iterations of the title theme play as the camera switches between circling and close ups of our main characters. Cheap, manufactured emotions, again.

ESCAPPEE FIRRSSSTTT.

Essentially, this episode tried to emulate/recycle the earlier and superior 'Judy flashback' episode, when her Father was stuck down the mineshaft. Now it's her mother stuck in a chair. With truly talented writers, this show could have been a real gem. Instead, it's just okay.

Beats Star Trek Discovery, though!

Robot is too good - not really a spoiler but ...

[kapurkimaya · 9/10 · 17 December 2021]

When Penny discusses about two boys with her Dad while rescuing Robot, the way Robot looks at both of them during the conversation is just too good and super hilarious. Good one! Haha!

This episode is so funny

[marianciobanuz · 10/10 · 18 December 2021]

I like this episode it has some hilarious scenes ,super visual effects ,great pacing ,but all the episodes from this season feel shorter than usually ,i have the same feeling like i have when i watch an episode from The Mandalorian ,but that is ok .

A major revelation amid the reconnections

[yuri01-1 · 8/10 · 7 July 2022]

I thought this was going to be all about the parents reconnecting with the kids. Ho hum.

However, we then get why the aggressor robots are scanning humans without killing them and the whole episode jumps up a few notches. Dodgy science, but kudos all the same.

Don West and the chicken for the win

Seriously, they were the best thing about this episode. The rest was boring filler. Blah blah blah. Everyone is in a peril but seem to have tons of time to talk about boyfriends and other teenage drivel. And Judy has the emotional range of a tree stump.

Just time waste

[armanluck84 · 1/10 · 19 December 2021]

Irrelevant dragging, useless talks and not required comical lines at crucial and important moments.... This episode is just waste of time... Penny is always irritating because of always doing nonsense talks or acts at some serious moments but this one takes non sense to a level above...

Just effing shoot them!

[nemesis-88 · 1/10 · 10 February 2022]

Sure, why not! We escaped the bad robots, but no, our ship is suddenly crashing for no particular reason. We eject, but no, ejection seats are jammed. So much for building a safe ship for your kids, Maureen! Okay, we survived a crash without ejecting. Whew! Not so fast. The ejection rockets are still armed. For crying out loud, just throw that damn family out of the airlock and let's get on with moving to another galaxy. I guess the only reason other people don't do that is because they're afraid the airlock will somehow break.

Not only is that unrealistic but it's also extremely boring. The writing is not just weak, it's non-existent. And there are not enough characters to make it any interesting. And talking of uninteresting characters, Parker Posey is a talentless hack. Not a single scene where she is not simply horrendous. And because she is such a "star" sure looks like "kids" actors learn the worst from her.
