- TriviaWhen the Jupiter 4 is about to launch, the launch pad lights are lighting up in a circular pattern. This is exactly how the launch pad lights lit up in the first episode of the original series.
- GoofsIn their efforts to reach the Resolute, which is still orbiting the planet, Maureen, the space engineer, says that they have to "reach escape velocity" and "hit escape velocity", when in both cases it's orbital velocity that they need to hit, once above the atmosphere. None of the space pilots mention the error either. Escape velocity is higher, an indicates the energy required to completely get out of a gravity well an into free space.

[first lines]
Maureen Robinson: You sure you can get us back without a map?
John Robinson: [sarcastically] Hey, come on. Obviously, I memorized and studied the topography before we left.
Maureen Robinson: [sighs] If I didn't know better, I would think you were trying to impress me.
John Robinson: Maybe I am.

The original was allowed 1 big hiccup per show, here there are just a few too many
Billy Mummy would appreciate the portrayal of Will as the flawed vulnerable youngest son, who's faith in people remains undiminished, because those who Love him never let him down. Penny remains adolescent and Judy has been promoted to junior Dr to great effect.
The mother figure in Maureen , is now the lead with John taking on the character of flawed but caring Father.
Parker Posey as the reboot Dr Zachary Smith is flawless both in character ( sneaking, conniving and resourceful) and sheer acting ability, turning you inside out at very chance.
One fly in the ointment, Don West, who is remade as a self serving likeable rogue. I must confess I much preferred the staunch ally with unstinting team spirit. But he does become the ying to Smith's yang and that allows for a more balanced show.
I like it, it is fresh and well directed, with a strong cast who I believe can carry this through the asteroid field ahead
