Ill get right to the point (lots of spoilers).
The general plot for this episode is pretty good. It isnt really new or anything, but that's fine. Ship is lost in space. Ship crashes. Ship sinks. The crew have to explore their nearby surroundings on a glacier to solve their predicament. (also, the introduction to Dr. Smith at the end I thought was great).
The problems start to arise within the finer plot conflicts. This is the lazy writing. The ship sinking, then freezing within a very short time period made no sense at all. Water typically does not freeze like that (with a few rare exceptions).
Throw in a broken leg, a frozen Judy, a separated Will, a burning forest, and then suddenly rain when their rescue attempt starts to work, and you get really unnatural sequence of events which feel "created" to fill the episode rather than having a natural flow.
Character wise, its too early to really critique, but I did enjoy the performance of Will Robinson.
All-in-all, this episode does contain some the adventuresome atmosphere that its predecessors had, and there may still be promise yet for the rest of the season.
