June Lockhart? Wasn't she Beaver Cleaver's mom?

I liked her better as the mom in the excellent series LOST IN SPACE. Best show ever.

Too many technical holes in Lost in Space...it looked so feeble next to ST:TOS.

However the second season theme music kicked ass...It kicked so much ass that Apollo 440 did a cover for the movie.

The movie was cool.

Guilty as charged. At least when TOS played fast-and-loose with physics, they invented a semi-plausible excuse. Of course, Treknology became an art-form during TNG...to the point where it became tedious:*everything* involved tachyons in some way, and any problem could be solved by varying the phase or frequency of something.
But I grew up reading Heinlein, and have just finished Varley's "Red Thunder" and "Red Lightning", worthy successors they are.

I've got good things to say about Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series, and I've already held forth in another thread about Honor Harrington.

Last night I loaded a Lighwave 3D model of Serenity into Blender...we do have fun at our house. :-)

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...

Hmmmm. Yes, I do recall an encounter. I think Robbie was mean to him. I think Dr. Smith was an allegory for our bad side, as "there's a little Dr. Smith in all of us."

I suspect a lot of the time Will was trying to avoid getting a little more Dr. Smith in him than he was ready to deal with. But Mom and Dad kept sending them off together.

A friend of mine used to do a fairly credible imitation of the Robot ... he'd wave his arms around and say "Danger, Will Robinson, Danger! Dr. Smith's a pedophile!"

I watched Scooby stoned one time. Didn't do anything for me.

Now, Sesame Street.... there's some messed up stuff on that show.
