Yes I like it!
I don't compare new to old, but rather take in as of itself.

For the folks that only like the old, remember that it was loosely based off of 'The Swiss Family Robinson', so what is really the 'original'.....:mixed-smiley-010:

Dr Smith annoys the poop out of me though.

But of course, Dr Smith is supposed to be annoying.

Perhaps not to the degree that you question the sanity and reasoning skills (not to mention the sheer survival instincts) of the shows other characters in not just spacing her at the earliest opportunity.
 
Hi,

Does anyone remember Ronnie Pendergraft's fantastic Jupiter-2 MGE model for FS9 ??
I'm working on a FSX-compatible version of it.

And a lot of LIS sceneries made by Carl Reddin ??
Got him going too ….

Cheers, Rob
 
How in the universe did Billy Mumy (Will Robinson) become Jonathan Harris (Dr. Zachary Smith)? Was there some soul transference in an episode I missed?
 
Oh I see said the blind man. Will R. was simply wearing Dr. Z's jacket. Why he had the jacket on remains a mystery. :very_drunk:

Unfortunately for “Dr. Smith,” she’s unable to dispose of all of the evidence, and when Don and a group of other colonists return to Jupiter 18 in Episode 6 to siphon its fuel, he discovers a hospital I.D. badge depicting the real Dr. Smith — that is, Mumy’s character.

SPOILERS!!!!!

No, in the new series, he is the real (innocent in this series) Doctor Smith, presumably killed in the robot attack on the Resolute, during which Parker Posey, after having escaped from her cell where she was being held as a stowaway, pretends to be him in order to trick two technicians into helping her hijack a Jupiter from the seemingly doomed resolute.

 
Okay, now I understand. The producers wanted a cameo of an original actor as an homage to the original series, but obviously it had to be Bill Mumy because Jonathan Harris had died in 2002 at age 87, and all the other male actors have likewise died.

Wikipedia:
In 2018, Mumy appeared in the pilot episode of the Netflix remake series, Lost in Space. His character's name is Dr. Z. Smith, in homage to the character played by Jonathan Harris in the 1965 television series.
