Holy Crap, did I sleep in late this morning... late night for me here. I binged on the last season of Lost In Space. I have to say the writers and producers finally managed to understand what genre of show they were dealing with; not a sci-fi family drama. The action / set pieces needed to be focalized, that never happened in in the first season. Most people don't know that the show had it's roots in a comic book, Space Family Robinson, about one family's adventures. The showrunners for the reboot never understood how important that fact was in telling their updated story. Season 2 had more about the Robinsons, they had adventures, but the 'colony' story was always in the background. Season 3 was the last of the series and the writers almost got the adventure part right. I'm not saying there might not be a spin off called big Will Robinson and his robot, I say big because Will Robinson is now 5'11" (1.8m) and towers over many of his cast members.

And for those who haven't heard, Devin Nunes is leave the House... fast... within the month. He's going to join the new Trump Media Group. This leaves most people scathing their heads. Judd Luegum at Popular Information has done some fact checking and believes the media group is nothing more than a mirage. With the redistricting done in California, there were questions as to whether Nunes could get his ass re-elected. And, being a true conservative thinking only of himself, when he heard the Song of the Grifter he decided he wasn't going to just sing a few bars, he wanted to become the conductor for this grifter orchestra. And Devin doesn't know a single thing about media management.
Darn!
ReplyDeleteI ran here for the title because I thought you were going to give us a selfie. Oh well.
And I am in the middle of the second season of LIS. Parker is the perfectly odious Dr. Smith. And I saw the trailer for the third season. Lots of things going boom.
And poor Nunes. He's such a joke. Cheeto's 'social media platform' is yet another scheme, of course. A mirage is right, just harvesting email and IP addresses. And they think it's worth millions? Idiots.
XOXO
Supposed over 1.2 million fools have signed up waiting to be monetized.
DeleteI felt neither the movie or this series captured the fun of the original series. I stopped watching it season #1. I think it was the victim of the woke Hollywood agenda.
ReplyDeleteI think the problems had more to do with people failing to understand exactly what was expected, rather than any agenda.
DeleteNunes in media management? The guy who thinks he can sue anyone who says anything unfavorable about him? Fuck him all the way off.
ReplyDeleteQuite a few are pointing out his lack of experience. Evidently he tried to sue a monkey once, or a dog.... some sort of animal.
DeleteI am so out of touch with American tv. I had no idea Lost in Space was even back on as remake.
ReplyDeleteIt's on Netflix, Sweetie, and this is the third season.
