Most Sci-Fi fans don't like soap-opera style Sci-Fi. We like an ending or some kind of closure after an episode. Every episode, except for a rare 2-part one, should be able to stand alone. That's also great for watching them in reruns. When we want to watch a rerun, we don't want to commit to watching 20-30 of them. A show is much more valuable if it's worth something to rerun too. Soaps are for little old ladies & stay at home moms, not your typical Sci-Fi fan.

Think about it... SG-1 & it's spinoff Stargate Atlantis were a huge success. Then they tried a soap-style Stargate Universe, & it was an epic failure -- nobody even wants to touch it for reruns. We wanted to like it, tried hard to like it, but never ending pointless soaps just don't work for most of us.

We want to like Lost In Space, try to like it, but they don't make it easy to like. Except for some cool effects, the whole thing was very sloppy, & lazily done. Was somebody fighting addictions when producing & writing this, or just didn't care? Keep the show, hire new writers & get out of the soap format.

The stories are poorly written with tons of plot holes & inconsistencies. For a family of geniuses, they sure do a lot of stupid stuff that makes no sense. If the writers can't be bothered to ever look at a science or physics book, at least put a consultant who did on the team. Imagine being a Sci-Fi writer without a clue about science or physics... not a good idea.

Electric vehicle is almost out of battery power -- did they consider shutting off the dozen bright headlights left on in the bright daylight to conserve the vehicles battery power? Their electric vehicles seem to break down or run out of power every 10-20 miles, making them much less reliable than electric vehicles we had 30 years ago.

In season 1, we are led to believe that their interstellar spacecraft is powered by methane... that's right, the gas you use in your stove & furnace. Do they put in a key to wind up the robot every day, or is it coal powered? They use horrid medieval looking orange lanterns for emergency lighting even though in the year 2019 we have white LED lighting that will stay lit for days on a single charge or set of batteries.

Season 2 breaks far off from where they left off in season 1. Maybe I would have been less disappointed if we didn't wait almost 2 years for only 10 episodes in season 2 with no end, closure, or point made. It seems like a lot of random writing going on without a plan or structure. They had plenty of time to make the story, re-read it, & weed out all the dumb stuff, plot holes, & other nonsense. At this rate, season 3 will open (in a few years) with a bearded Will Robinson holding a beer while flying in his own kerosene powered UFO. They won't have any power again, because they still haven't figured out not to leave their bright headlights on 24/7, even in broad daylight, or when in orbit near a bright sun & not going anywhere.
