I was kind of rooting for them to cast his daughter Liliana as Judy before Taylor Russell was cast

Wait, my bad on the casting. I see now you meant for the new show on Netflix, not the 1998 film.

If nothing else, the show will look spectacular.

That was great! I'm pretty excited for this. I wonder what the budget was because it looks like they spent a LOT of money on it.

Awesome. I've been there before. Wish I could be there for this.

this is another much like Battlestar, that i was waiting for everyone to start with the backlash, oh they changed this, or they changed that, its to adult, it's not fun, every complainant i heard about the Ron Moore re-imagined series, well 8 years later, it still holds up pretty well, if its done seriously, the 70's show comes off now as really campy.

this wile entertaining is also pushing a social agenda, be it global warming, pollution, as stated in the trailer when earth can no longer sustain life,

This is nothing new for sci/fi. Even when a move/tv show shows a future without global warming or pollution, it's often mentioned the human race was well on the way to screwing things up but a solution was found.

As a kid I traveled to the moon several times at Disneyland on the Mission to the Moon ride. The narrator of the ride would mention that Los Angeles used to be a big brown spot until the problem was fixed. No details were provided.

OK, so here's a question.

I've never actually seen a single episode of the original Lost In Space series. I bought the Blu-ray set due to rave reviews and a great price, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I thought the remake was coming next year so I wasn't in a rush.

Do you think I'm better off watching the old show first before trying out the reboot?

I'm pretty sure in the 60's TV series the mission of the Robinson family is colonization.The point is that mankind will need a new home soon.

The original’s sets and production values make the original Star Trek look like a billion dollar movie. Come to think of it, so does the acting and the scripts. The original LIS is very, very cheesy. At times it was fun, at times it was groan inducing. So bad, so bad.

Which one to watch first? I suggest watching each as separate entities that have no connection with each other. To compare them, well all I can say is “Danger, danger Will Robinson!”

Watch a couple episodes of the original first.

That's pretty much where my expectations were at. I was eyeing the original as a late night viewing choice rather than primetime. I often like something a little less weighty before bed.

Balsa wood is like lead compared to the original LIS.

Watch the first three episodes of the original. That will establish the setting of the show. The rest are interchangeable.

I’m looking forward to checking this out.

I suggest you watch S1 of the original. It's a very different animal than what's on display in S2 & S3. It's more serious in tone, although does have its low spots, and the "Doctor/Robot/Will" triumvirate effect had not reared its head. You will see some of it by the end of the season but it's nowhere as pronounced as it will become in S2 and especially S3. In S1, Dr. Smith is rather malevolent in nature, nothing like the clown/jester/fool/comedy relief/idiot he'd become by S3.

If this update turns out to be like S2/S3 then, and only then, watch those seasons on the original. That's not to say there aren't good episodes in those seasons, as there are, but the show took a decidedly comedic turn when Jonathan Harris was allowed to take control of and run with his character. OK... so you may want to watch those two seasons, just be aware they're very different from S1, almost a totally different program.

I would like to see what the show would have become had his character been written out in S1 as was the original intent.

I'm hoping this will be a serious series, like the reimagined Battlestar Galactica, more like the first season of the original. I don't have Netflix but if this series turns out to be a serious SF affair I'd consider a subscription to watch it. Normally I'd just wait for physical but with Netflix it seems unlikely that'll ever happen.

The 10-year-old somewhere in me will have to check this out since it looks like they are maintaining the family-oriented appeal of the original, which I regret holding my father and family hostage to watching the first time around since I was the same age as Billy Mumy and we only had the one living room TV. I can still see him cringe when that theme music started.
