New Lost in Space has a black Judy Robinson, a Hispanic Major West, and a female Dr. Smith
By Ed Straker

Netflix is remaking the campy 1960s series Lost in Space.  As might be expected, the network is doing everything it can to ethnically cleanse white people and men from the cast, but it's a hard proposition, given that in the original series, the story focused on Professor John Robinson, a white man; his white wife, Maureen Robinson; Major Don West, a white man; Will Robinson, a white boy; and Dr. Zachary Smith, a white man.

The show-runners started by replacing Dr. Smith with a woman, Parker Posey.  Yes, Dr. Smith is now a girl (in much the same way that Britain's Dr. Who is now Nurse Who).

And I'm sure it will be even more annoying than the original......

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

It will be just about as successful as that last Ghostbusters movie.

I swear, it's becoming a real-life version of "The Producers" where they intentionally make flops for financial gain.

I hated this show..it was so lame. This was during the days when a family only had one tv..my younger brothers and sister loved it so the rest of us had to suffer through it.



and I hated Billy Mummy.....

Black Panther is cleaning up because they went with a distinct character that is a black guy rather than altering some established white character.

Star Trek kept the theme of the show but introduced new characters for different time periods. Different characters.

The producer, Irwin Allen, had total contempt for his viewers - tv or movies. He thought we were a bunch of idiots.

It doesn't matter one bit. There is no need or reason to 'stay true to the original'. Because less than 5% of people in America even know what the original was.

As Hillary said, 'What difference at this point does it make!"

How do you make a movie of a sitcom that had a laugh track every few seconds?

Beverly Hillbillies movie was the worst movie ever made.
Fred Flintstone movie stunk and failed
Brady Bunch movie stunk and failed
Adams Family movie stunk and failed
Lost in Space movie stunk and failed...soon
And a dozen others

The idiots in Hollywood are trying to spoof something that nobody knows about. Everybody leaves confused. The people who know what it is hate it. And the people who don't know what the original was, don't understand half the satire and jokes. It's a lose, lose, and that's why they always fail.

Still waiting for that blockbuster 'Alf' movie or maybe a 'My Three Sons' remake? I'm giving them ideas, and they will do it. Just wait and see.

They already did a remake of Lost in Space.  It already stunk and failed, this will be stink and fail II.

He was on one episode of Lost in Space.  Early in the first season, I believe.
