That may very well be, but I didn't watch it for the techie stuff. I watched it because I was keenly interested in the Dr. Smith/Robot dynamic. I did have questions about Dr. Smith: How did someone so pathologically lazy get to become a doctor? As Dr. Smith was the cause of nearly
all of the Robinson Family problems, why didn't they just let his sorry ass get eaten by a space monster?
Is is conceivable that Dr. Smith was
addicted to painkillers? (reference his near constant lament, "Oh! The pain! The
pain!") Why was cute, spunky young Will Robinson always, always paired up with Dr. Smith? This was a recipe for disaster, yet, they always put those two together. And, who had to bail them out? Yes, the Robot! A most excellent character. He was intelligent, witty, urbane, well-mannered and kind of handsome. I think I had a crush on him.
PS I wanted to use the OTHER alien face that we have in our smilie repertroie but this one
comes up instead. The OTHER alien is better suited for a monster-type alien. Not that I'm saying all aliens are monsters...
