You forgot to mention the Chicken's outstanding performance! She get no love. :(
You mean Debbie?
Ms. Debbie if you're nasty.
#JusticeForDebbie
Got to love the chicken. Although I would of fried it in the first season.
her name is debbie...
I'm so over Smith being right where she has to be, right when she has to be there, to take advantage of a situation, manipulate the Robinsons and then live to see another day. She has literally, no obstacles.
5:40 I cried during her negative encouragement to her father! Who ever wrote that is a genius! The moment was a rare perfect moment in films that are too far and between. The musical score matched perfectly as well!
I barely got through Season I because the characters (with very few exceptions) were insufferable. In Season II they seem to have toned down the very abrasive nature of the characters and they were all actually quite likeable - even Smith. Overall I was most impressed with how Exciting each episode was- every episode the characters couldn’t have been in more peril, and the danger of the week format really kept the series going at a screaming pace. I loved it! Massive improvement over Season I
I really enjoyed this season and cant wait for season 3, we need to learn more about the robots.
Yeah, this season was just incredible. There's some wonky science and stuff, but I agree with pretty much everything you said, and the time skip between seasons was handled really well and made sense. Most shows, it's a new peril every 10 or 15 days over the course of a year. In this show, the first season happened over about six months, there were seven months between seasons where nothing much happened, and then everything in this season happened in about a week. Presumably there'll be another time skip next season as well, during which not a lot happened. That's unusual, but totally worked, and I *love* that the Robinsons are now a fully-functional family. The dysfunction of the first season was kind of annoying to me, as there was never any doubt that they'd get it patched up, but if they'd been this functional in season 1, it would have just seemed corny. Here, though, their commitment seemed well earned.
When the subject of the mutiny came up, my kid said, "Wow, they're going full Severed Dreams here, aren't they?" Refering to Babylon 5, and I said, "Oh, good, glad to know it wasn't just me that felt that way."
I politely disagree about Penny, though. I thought she was a pretty great character in season 1, kind of reckless, kind of adrift, kind of boy crazy. We needed at least one kid who acted like a kid, and she did that great. Her maturing in the 2nd season was a good payoff to that, though I do agree the whole "I'm not useful" thing in the first 2 episodes was a little tedious.
Not only Penny but ALL of the primary cast of this show are amazing.That includes the actors and their screenwriters! I liked the comic book better than the old TV show but this is so far the best adaptation of Swiss Family Robinson ever!
I agree with all of that, basically. Prior to this, the comic was the best iteration of LIS, but this is better
I take it all back! I struggled with the first 2 episodes.... But gave it a chance... I found that my original opinion was crap! My son and I just binged 7 episodes in a row! Thanks for not spoiling it! I humbly apologize....
Aggree! Almost quit watching after the first 2 episodes, glad I pushed through.
I almost quit watching after 30 minutes but all in all I’m glad I stayed
@resigned liberal We'll, it still has issues... But after the first 2 episodes of S2, things open up a bit and although all the same issues you cited are present. The story at least unfolded in a compelling way that these were seemingly diminished. It was simple entertainment. Personally, I like The Expanse much better, but I can't really share that with my kids... That SJW stuff doesn't really have an effect on me. They're never going to sell me on that crap... With that, they may have been slipping stuff in, in a less obtrusive way. That can be both good and bad... But for the exact same reason. Good because you don't really see it.... But bad because you don't really see it. The son I watched this with is Autistic and doesn't pick up on social connotations and agenda like most kids can... For me, the show was moreover time to bond with him. Something that I never really get to have. Perhaps that alone heightened my suspension of disbelief and dulled my senses to whatever agenda was being promoted.
But truly.... The show does have a bit of stupid in it. Especially the first two episodes. I think once the main story arc kicks in, things seem a bit more cohesive. But their are still those moments.. Like when the wife says "great minds". And then proceeds to roll around in the stupid for a while. This happens way too much. The whole kite scene with the toxic seaweed is full of dillema unfolding because of stupid... So it seems that common sense is stripped away in favor of the plot moving forward, which as others have pointed out... The tropes get old fast.
Just thru watching season two. I enjoyed it. I did think that Dr. Smith was walking around free was a little confusing.
Thoroughly enjoyed season 2. As you said, they fixed most of season 1's flaws. The characters gelled together far better and were more relatable and likeable for the most part.
Interesting your comments about the emotional beats in the episode focused on Judy and her dad. The director of that episode was Jon East, who was also involved with the series Rocket Man - which had a LOT of familial heartstring pulling going on... also successfully, I felt. :)
Give 'The 100' another chance. It gets way darker and cooler in later seasons. It has some truly exhilarating arcs :)
I'm not gonna lie, I've basically just been treating this version of Lost In Space as if it's a Star Trek show about a bunch of colonists, because it's exactly the kind of stories that I wish we really got to explore more of in the Star Trek universe. Also, I just really love this family A LOT, this cast together is really just pitch perfect and their bond with each other is my favorite thing. Hell, half the time I don't even care about the story or script or whatever, I could watch all of them just interacting as a family and it's enough for me. I can't wait for more seasons of this show, I really love it!
I enjoyed season 1of Lost in Space, however season 2 took the show to a whole new level in terms of what has been discussed, the VFX were INSANE and my opinion of certain characters (in particular Maureen) has changed for the better. Season one, Maureen was my least favourite, in the way she was toward John and her pushy attitude in general, S2 she seemed to compromise more and show more empathy.
'Smith' aka Zoe Smith aka Jessica Harris (together with John) is my favourite character. I never know what to make of her, a survivor? Yes, who seems sincere at times only to betray (and with that smile, always that smile).
So looking forward to season 3!
I loved season 2. I remember making fun of the fact, in my own mind, that in almost every episode there was some heart wrenching climatic scene that i thought was so cheesy, yet somehow i still had tears in my eyes. Not sure what that means, but somehow it worked.
Ben Adler's sacrifice and redemption at the end made me weep.
Throughout the whole season, the new character often made me feel disheartened. JJ Feild portrayed very well his inner turmoil and mental scars.... the near-constant sadness in his eyes..... :-(
My biggest question is on the shows timeline? They conveniently leave out any specific dates...this is the 24th colonists group, so 23 previous missions? But the alien engine arrived with that Christmas star event...idk it just doesn't make sense with the time frame...
I really wanted to like Lost in Space, the movie has a special place in my heart (I know it wasn't the best film but it was one of my favourites as a child).
However, there are just too many characters making absolutely absurd decisions. I mean, how many of the issues that came up could have been resolved if these people just talked to each other? Or if conversations involed more than 2 people:
•In season 1 when Smith was locked up and told Maureen her real name, then when John spoke to Smith, she denied saying it and implied Maureen was delusional. If the Robinsons spoke to her together, no problem!
•In this season, the security guy who was on to Smith; did he not tell anyone he suspected she was lying before being paralysed? Did he make no notes or logs? And Smith just walks free?? Are you kidding me? If there was another guard in the room or if the guy made any notes or told someone else, no problem!
•In this season; If West was just honest with the Robinsons, Smith would have nothing on him then no problem!
•In this season when Maureen finds out that Smith has been escaping her room, she doesn't tell John because she wants to leave the planet... What?? Smith tried to kill the Robinsons and is now freely moving about and this raises no alarms?
I just don't understand why this family just doesn't communicate. And why oh why do they not deal with Smith? They know she's not only dangerous, but she's murderous! They just let her roam around causing trouble and hurting people and they act like they just don't care or even notice?? I ended up getting so frustrated that I had to stop watching it. The examples I gave are only a few of the ones I remember.
So in conculsion: I think it sucked.
Yup. Completely agree. So much crap could have been avoided by characters actually talking to each other instead of not. So many cliche's and tropes. I am at episode 4 in season 1 and am fast losing any motivation to continue.
@@invertedpolarity6890 Well the only reason I actually made it to the end of season 2 was that around ep 6 I just started playing on my phone a lot more and just sort of picking up the major plot points. It's such a shame because the look of the show is amazing. The set, costumes, special effect, props, all great. It's just not a good show.
Smith is sneaky and everyone was too preoccupied with just surviving to deal with Smith directly. They tried to deal with her when they hooked up with the mothership but she managed to weedle out of that and then they were all thrown full blast into problem after problem making their hands too full to keep her under control.
So if i understand you, you're saying the show sucks because of smith, but otherwise it's good?
@@mahatmarandy5977 Not exactly, but I would certainly say that the character of Smith could have used some tweaking. So she's a straight up, cold blooded murderer, because of this I see no sensible reason they would keep her around. If I had someone within my sphere of influence that not only killed people strictly for person gain, but also tried to kill me and my family there would be no senario in which I would allow them to be around me.
If they made her opportunistic and self-serving but not violent and useful, then I think the whole 'crazy situations' they get into would be more understandable. Like "Shes a pain, but shes useful!" instead of "Shes a murderer but she hasn't managed to kill us yet despite several and ongoing attempts as well as already managing to kill several other people while showing no remorse or signs of slowing down...".
I would say the examples I gave are all symptoms of the real problem; contrivance. Nobody speaks to each other because if they do, the situations they get into would not happen, so the writers contrive reasons for them to happen. With the example I gave about West; all he had to say is "Hey Robinsons, before I joined the expedition I was a smuggler, I'm not proud but I've put that behind me." Easy. But because the story calls for Smith to have something on West to get him to help her, he doesn't say anything and does more dodgy stuff for Smith. So it's more that contrived situations annoy and frustrate me than Smith herself. Does that make sense?
Most critics focus on trashing productions. Listening to honest opinions from someone who appreciates the efforts made by the entertainment industry to provides shows we enjoy is appreciated by me. FAB and SIG Bro.
Oh man did I love this. 😁. Because it's an adventure scifi show. I usually hate kids in my movies/shows but these kids I dont mind.
I was a little annoyed for smith jumping back & forth between good & evil
you have never run into a real sociopath then shes a classic
Ten episodes are not enough to fully tell the story without rushing through. That’s the problem with TV today, too few episodes.
it's exactly what I love about modern TV...less filler. At 40 minutes average per episode you have just under 7 hours to tell your story in a 10 episode set. More than enough time. I watch CW shows which last a more traditional number of episodes and the stories just drag.
10-13 episodes is exactly the right length.
@@PeBoVision I agree, most TV shows that have/had 22-26 episodes per season also had a lot of filler episodes. There are a few exceptions but I prefer the shorter seasons myself.
I'd much rather have shorter seasons where everything is planned out and serves a purpose than a meandering 22 episode season where half are pointless filler. (It was even worse in the old days, when seasons were 26 episodes that were 48-ish minutes each instead of today's 42 minutes.)
Agree but disagree. The pace is great and ok 10 episodes is enough to tell a story. Maybe 12 would be better. BUT one season is not enough for an e-n-t-i-r-e year.
PT Seasons were never a year. Longer seasons give more time to develop the characters which makes the show far better. People love more of what they like, our entire culture is based on this.
Great channel, great videos. Subbed.
Love this series! One of the best I’ve seen in a long time! 😍 I hope it will continue on!🤞
The upcoming third season should be the last. :-(
smith makes it unwatchable for me
The ending cliffhanger was sick
At the end of my binge of LiS SII, I was underwhelmed, but still 'enjoyed' it as I like the premise of the show and glad to see it back.
It was very well done. The actors - especially the kids - have settled beautifully into their roles.
Ok, you are making me want to give this one a shot.
I can't speak for other viewers, but I found Lost in Space season 2 fantastic and enjoyed it very much. I hope and can't wait for a season 3.
Nice video I am looking forward to your video on Space Above and Beyond.
Am trying to get that out for later this month, hopefully next week :)
What is Space Above and Beyond?
@@adamsagehorn3520 It is a military science fiction show from the late 1990's. It one of those shows that is considered by Sci-fi nerds like me one of the best shows that was made.
@@michaellewis1545
Where can I catch it? Prime?
@@adamsagehorn3520 Yes. You call also find most of the episodes on CZcams. There is only one season it dose end a bit of Cliffhanger. If you do watch it please let me know what you think.
"Smith " simply sucked the life out of the show.
My son and I love this show and cannot wait for the next season.
I was really surprised at how great the VFX was. I felt amazed at how the episode where they went into the gas giant felt like Star Trek😂
Needs more Debbie.
I would love to know how "Smith" could have had that highly toxic plant when she'd been stuck on the Jupiter all that time and she would have had to slip it into the book she was carrying while under surveillance by the Resolute's security forces (she didn't know she was going to be captured and hadn't had the book before this anyway to stick the plant into it and given how deadly it was wouldn't have dared handle it with her bare hands anyway). I felt there are just too many convenient situations happening...like her also being able to get into the Security computers on the Resolute so she could easily change her personal profile. The terminal was just left unsecured when everyone left the ship to head down to planet? Also, regarding those recordings she "erased". Anybody that knows computers knows nothing is ever erased. There are always backups and you can recover files even when they have been "erased". These wouldn't have been physical film recordings that you could just destroy and if the chief of security knew they were there he would have been able to recover them. Or retrieve them from backup. And his poisoning surely would show up when they run a medical scan on him in the sickbay and they'd find the leaf there in the room (or should at least cause Smith isn't going to pick it up with her hands plus it's all being recorded) And on a little different note, I would prefer if they could decide whether to stick with totally CGI robot or man in costume robot cause the two look dramatically different and it's jarring when they mix them together for different shots.
Can't get past my belief that the actors portraying Judy and Penny should have been switched. Small issue though for a series reboot that is so much good fun.
Do wish they would have used the original season one (original series) theme. Never liked the replacement theme in comparison.
Only read the title ... it did not suck... much better than the first if anything. Loved it 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I absolutely loved it! I just wish it had 6 more episodes!!!!!!
I was on the fence about Lost in Space season 2 but you have convinced me to watch it.
Also you mentioned you loved Gears of War, how did you find Gears 5?
Did season 2 ever address why they actually went to the aliens home planets ? From season 1 in the first place 😂 (you know the whole 2 stars colliding images)
Pretty big thing to leave out no ...
Justin Di Paola the engine took them the home planet so the aliens could get the engine back
It keeps getting better
Thorughly enjoyed all of it so far, but then I just sit back and enjoy it, I'm not constantly 9 or at all) looking to pick holes.
I really liked this season-my only real gripe is the too rapid movement from one emergency to the next-for instance-the whole arc with Judy saving her dad was awsome but no emotional aftermath - the first scene after that with whole family was like"heard u had some problems on the planet" - and "oh yeah-stuff happened" and that was it-Moving on to next crisis:)
Wow my question answered and so critically. Maybe we are on opposite sides because the Judy to Dad race was the one I just fast forwarded through cause flashbacks! If we are gonna do flashbacks Dr. Smith shows what to do; something that adds to character not just reinforces what is already established. Also Penny is my favorite, she is the everyman who doesnt have a phd in Astrophysics or are geological prodigies but maybe I just like teen drama like the 100, Americas next top model meets Lord of the Flies. Ah guilty pleasures.
Glad our difference of opinion can co-exist :)

I thought this season was outstanding the Robinsons gave a awesome performance. And so did the other cast. I just wish that they would stop saying how this is the last season it's kind of depressing. Especially because I really enjoy the show. And if Netflix doesn't want to continue the seasons then maybe somebody else to pick them up. I could imagine what the other seasons would be like specially them all working together. The one thing that I like the most is that they show a real strong family bond and in this day and age I think that's what people look for the most love and compassion and adventure. Something that people look forward to especially the ones that don't have it. I give this show a 5-star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟and if I could I would give it a ten-star🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.
I don't know if it was just something I noticed more in season than 1 and it was in both, but season 2 was just so predictable with everything that happened due to the writing/style of presentation. It didn't feel like a free flowing story going from event to event while being internally consistent, it felt like they were going down a list of scenes to include to be relevant later and just fulfilling the purpose of those scenes as things went on.
Most of those were needed for the plot to make sense, but some, like the mother taking a picture of the alien writing for example came down to stopping the show in its tracks so the audience can 100% know "okay, she has this picture, it'll be relevant later I guess". It's the way they're presented and how hammered in their point is.
The characters also in general just weren't as likable in this season, they were mostly either whiny or narcissistic a lot of the time. They tried to highlight some character flaws and issues going on between them but didn't give them what they needed to seem worth it. All in all made it a lot harder to give a shit about any of them this season which says a lot because for season 1 it was easy peasy lemon squeezy to care about them and their survival/goals.
"We need to steal a jupiter!!" " did you talk to John? No...did you borrow one from the majors son?no"....-escapes in jupiter 2 the Robinson's lol
I really enjoyed and can look past some of the less logical moments. It's family entertainm,ent afterall and it's best to just enjoy it as it flows past you like a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes character building and overall arc are more important than getting bogged down in the minor details to make an enjoyable show. Stop being so analytical and you will enjoy it more :)
Check your mic. You've got some serious white noise on the audio track.
Great content though I've just come across your channel and subbed.
Yeah this was a new mic at the time. I've fixed the problem since then in my new videos :)
Absolutely be love this series. So very well done. It took me awhile to get used to Dr Smith as she is so annoying. Now I actually like the character.
i loved it it was a blast
Ok boomer (me), I've been a science fiction fan since the 1950s. The term "SciFi" was disdained back then and "SF" was only somewhat tolerated. I've never been able to read "SyFy" as anything but "siffy".
Still, thanks for your insightful review. I truly love this incarnation of The Space Family Robinson.
As many others have expressed, I loved this show. Its one the best TV dramas ever whatever its setting. I just wish we'd been brought into the "chigs" world to understand them and their motivations.
I liked it as well.
Std was not renewed for a 4th season
I watched season 2 all the way through. I kept hoping it would get better. It did not. I enjoyed season 1 and I had high hopes for season 2. It's like they through more money at effects and didn't really try with writing. Did season 2 suck? Indeed it did!
This...It SUCKED compared to season 1.
Thank you. Season 2 was complete SHIT. I'll say it again, if there are other people around, THEY ARE NOT LOST IN BLOODY FUCKING SPACE.
If Netflix drops this show, I WILL quit Netflix!!! PERIOD!
What comics are you into?
Mostly a DC guy when it comes to Superheroes. But I love seeking out more indie stuff like The Invisibles, Valeriane and Lauraline etc
This is a reply I will cherish for obvious reasons. Lol.
Only complaint was the season was way too short !!! Need more episodes
YES, IT SUCKED !!!......and Only,...Only because the 2nd season was to short,...it was way to short !!!!.... give us more episodes for a season. THIS PROGRAM WAS AMAZING TO WATCH !!
Ot was the same amount of episodes
If they are with other people, THEY ARE NOT LOST IN FUCKING SPACE.
Season 3!!!! We need season 3!!!!
Oh well Stephen King loves the 100 because he went past episode 5 and saw how much better it got and didn't automatically judge it by the network it happened to be on. So that's all I care about.
Yep. He doesn't say what few episodes he watched.... But it does sound a lot like early S1. The 100 has only improved with time. If the show gets its Prequel spinoff after it's upcoming final season... I'm in. The History and World building of The 100 has had me hooked early on.
@@lgoamity 100% agree with everything you said.
@Jangler333 You mean Stephen King? The writer.
What were your thought's on Dracula?
Haven't gotten around to watching that just yet, but I've heard good things :)
I found it to be unwatchable. It seemed like a show written for 3 graders. It is really sad, because I really loved the first season. It seems like they fired all the writers and had interns write the second season. It was especially bad watching it after watching The Expanse.
I find this review to be unreadable.
They helped scarecrow and that send them to hell.. And no one even addressed it its like its normal to them.. Nah the finale sucked!
When is season 3 coming
Lost in Space season 2 was awesome... binged the whole thing in under 24 hours.
I know I'm late to the train, buuuuut I absolutely detest Smith too much to enjoy her presence. Her character is in no way sympathetic, and I would personally toss her out of the airlock asap.
Yes, it does too!!!!!!
I loved it
wish there were more action.
Where's the rest of your LIS reviews?
Lost in Space "2" is amazing!
Loved season 2
What do u call sacrifice that does more harm?? Wth..
Me and my kids like it.
If they film Lost in Space with the lighting any lower, it will be a radio broadcast show. I know they do this to save on staging and background props , but this is ridiculous.
Did we watch the same show? The whole thing was contrived, not just Smith's arc. I was going to get into detail discussing all the lazy writing, but then you mentioned how fans (particularly Star Wars fans) don't hold any sway over media, so I figured I'd just be wasting my time.
Solo lost money, guy. A 'Star Wars' movie lost money.
Also, I couldn't help but cringe a bit when you mentioned this show in the same breath as The Expanse.
Season 2 was 👍🏼 great! That is all. Too bad waiting for season 3 will feel like forever.
No it was outstanding
Yes best season lost in space ever...
Yes it did
If you don't have Netflix where can someone watch this for free. ?
You can watch it on the SOL network.
I saw the original LOS first run back in the day and l liked it, but as we later learned following seasons were compromised, then Star Trek came out and I turned into some kind of junkie.
Hell no it was awesome
No !
Too predictable and simply not creative or imaginative,the premise seems to be to lurch from one disaster to the next,miraculously escape from each disaster with zero casualties or fatalities and simply not to suffer in any real shape or form.As for Smith how on earth has she not been dealt with yet her ability to escape any kind of punishment is almost as unbelievable as the Robinson’s surviving all the shit that hits the fan..Visually it looks great however everything else is pretty weak and not memorable
It was ok.
One of the best series I've ever seen! Both seasons
Season 2 was awesome
Yes, It did sucked and happy that they aren’t making season 3.
They are making Season 3
Spoiler alert! Yes ... Yes, it did SUCK. Three words (horses on a Space Ship), ok ignore the "on" and the "a". But for the All-Mighty Google's sake, this is very lazy writing. It is possible to write a good story with a plot twist and interesting characters and yet still be scientifically and logically sound. The High atmospheric balloon stunt, they pulled in the first Season was a stretch, I mean it goes without saying that, every space ship has to stock up on balloons and Helium. But Come ON ... Horses?!! I want to know one thing, who was responsible for cleaning all the poop?
Loved season one, but this season was very predictable with characters making the dumbest decision with a lot of the story being just filler episodes that could have been wrapped up in half the time. Great fx but i hope if there is a season 3 they get better writers.
The show although artisitcally well designed, becomes heavily more grating after each episode. The 'always in peril' Robinsons and co becomes tiresome REALLY quickly, and you get the impression that the family can't catch a break, and even when they do the writers and creators want to screw things up for them. Again the best thing about S2 was Will's robot, and even then he's only in it for a few episodes. Not only that but there are several plot points that are left completely gaping and unanswered. I'd prefer the series became more about the robots and the other aliens in the galaxy than the Robinsons.
Exactly.... I tried... But it was excruciating. Not a show made for intelligent, critical thinkers....
"always in Peril", Yes, Yes, Yes. Thing was, it looks like the spent money on the sets. Nothing looked cheap. Yet it appears they didn't spend any money on the writers.
OK, assumed you had lost interest in this series after season 1, but this would suggest an S3 DID IT SUCK might be forthcoming.
I just hate when the kid looks a bit older but they keep the little kid's haircut.
Your review of Season 2 totally spot on.
I am a huge fan of lost in space original series..
I thought this couldn't be more disappointing as the 98 movie... story lines sucked.....most of the casting sucked....I HATE THE ROBOT.....
but the effects were great... MAYBE SOMEDAY THEY'LL GET IT RIGHT!!!!!!🤔😩🤬😡
I both enjoyed it and disliked it. Basically Robinson's are a family of Mary Sue's, they can do anything better than any one else...
Not really... through the course of the two season each member of the family has had an arc where they had to face their personal failings.
I'm sorry but season 2 was terrible. Their decision to include artificial tension points every 10 minutes just bores and cheapens the plot, because you if something can go wrong, you know 100% that somebody will do something stupid and there will be tension. I could hardly watch it to the end.
I enjoyed season 2 a lot more than season 1, but I'd say it 35% sucked. Like, why did the metal eating virus only appear when the Robinsons showed up? How did it eat the pins in the guy's leg if it only transfers through direct contact? Did it attach to the iron in his blood? Then why didn't it kill that guy and everyone who breathed it in by breaking down the iron in their blood?
Where did all the robots at the end come from? Where did their ship come from? Why did they go through all that trouble to return Scarecrow if all he did was make all the other robots come after them? Why did Scarecrow wait so long to switch sides? How did Smith get into the Jupiter after she ditched her space suit?
I like the characters but there was a ton of dumb stuff going on.
Turn your brain off it's a family show!
There could have been an incubation period of certain length for the metal-eating virus; like it works with real-world viruses.
Or the virus could be seasonal. Again, as well as many real viruses are.
In a regard of the guy with the metal pins in his knee; well, you obviously did not pay much attention, but for a big chunk of the season they were sorting out how to safely bring and utilize the alien water onto the Resolute.
So the (non-)mystery of yours was their having drunk the ALIEN WATER which, however, negatively impacted only metals and nothing organic.
"Where did all the robots at the end come from? Where did their ship come from?"
Why would you urgently need to know that? Those are pretty redundant questions.
"Why did they go through all that trouble to return Scarecrow if all he did was make all the other robots come after them?"
How could they possibly know that upfront? Are you OK? :-D
"Why did Scarecrow wait so long to switch sides?"
Again, you obviously struggle to pay attention. If you've watched any of the two seasons, you must have already learnt of how the robots' minds, rationale and decision-making work and these aspects were also FREQUENTLY discussed on the show by the Human protagonists.
"How did Smith get into the Jupiter after she ditched her space suit?"
What a stupid question!! That was OBVIOUSLY (for anyone with half a brain) an intentional mystery planted therein to make the audience wonder thereabout, that will for sure be revealed and explained later on. They already used the same screenwriting trick on this very show several times before and throughout the history of cinema it has already been used like gazillion times.
Is this the very first thing you have ever watched in your life?
I am going to ask again.... are you seriously OK?
suck? no... Season 2 is AWESOME
Not at all. It was fabulous.
