Lost in Space is a high pace space chase across the galaxy. They have fancy guns, ships, and robots.
The only thing they don't have is a real reason for being out there. Yes they are suppose to be
exploring new planets for inhabitation, buy why have only one military person, one ship, and only one
kick-ass robot. If I was there I would have thousands of guns, a couple of "Attack Craft" military
personal, and many of those killer robots. If the fate of the Human race on earth depended on this
family, then why not have a full military escort. You would think that the military would spend more
money to find a new home before theirs collapse. They spend thirty dollars on a toliet seat, but the
minimum on finding a new home for their people. I know they are suppose to meet the aliens with a
friendly disposition, but what about those unfriendly alien life forms. You could cryo-freeze a couple
of more people for the ride! could'nt you? Guns don't take up too much space?
Another thing about Lost in Space is the whole "Hyperspace" station they were building near earth. The
Robinson's ship had hyperspace capablilities but I thought they needed a Hyperspace Station? Why build
those Hyperspace rings if they could be placed in the ships themselves.
My last point is about Dr. Smith, Will Robinson, and Time Travel. I can'ts remember for sure if the
Military man (the one with the cool face helmet) saved Dr. Smith from death. Why pick up him after you
know that he will transform into Space-Crab-Man! He was already bit by that Space Crab, why save a
sabataguer and a space mutant at that? If Will Robinson was so smart, why could'nt he figure
out that Dr. Smith killed his family until twenty years later. And if those Space Crabs killed his
family then why would'nt the Space-Crab-Transformed Dr. Smith do the same thing? The Time Travel Machine
was really a bad idea, I thought. Time Travel is suppose to rip the fabric of space apart. Like it did to
that planet. Think about it, passing through time and meeting up with yourself from the past "AAHHHH".
I'm scary enough then to see myself face to face. The Last thing about Time Travel is Why Did'nt Dr.
Robinson go back in time to stop the space ship launch. That would of got his entire family out of trouble.
They could of stoped Dr. Smith and saved the entire mission.
