I'm only half way through this season and over-all I think it's ok. Well, except for one main aspect. This tendency for Hollywood types to want to change gender roles is becoming tiresome and annoying. First, why does the iconic Dr. Smith have to suddenly be a woman? Not that Parker Posey doesn't do a wonderful job. It's akin to making Indiana Jones a woman, which I hear Steven Spielberg is going to do. Also, I respect the idea of portraying Maureen Robinson as a strong, intelligent, and independent character, but why the need to portray John as the sad sack of a absentee father figure? He seems incapable of relating to his children, who are portrayed brilliantly.
