Watching #lostinspace S1E4. Apparently a side character says he was saved because he was holding a chicken, which has a locator chip embedded. In S1E2 we see that the humans on board the colonist spaceship, have also chips for ID scanning, but I guess no locator functionality.......

It makes total sense. You put the locator chips in the livestock only. Not humans. Humans are not supposed to drift away or get lost like livestock does (what is the name of the series again?). And recent experience shows that humans are always close to where there is food.....

Seriously #Netflix? Who is writing these scripts for you?

All in all there is too much drama that is added up, the script is full of plot holes and nonsense.
