Lost in Space, seen through the eyes of a child, was the wildest ride ever on tv at the time, along with Batman.
Seen through nostalgic eyes as a grown up, the plots, buffoonery and drastic drop in quality after the first few episodes is obvious, but what remains is the nostalgia of great adventure.... the memories of watching this with Mom & Dad, even my grandparents, drawing pics, talking about the show at school....
...and then, there's the Jupiter 2, which I always mention was the Millennium Falcon of the time. That ship is iconic, among my most favorite of movie and tv spacecraft.....I have an of it under construction with interior, LED lights, fiber optics and photoetch after-market parts, and a few wall sections with added architectural mods created in Illustrator and cut into acrylic via laser engraver/cutter at work. With everything else going on, I'm not sure when it'll be done, but it's a fun diversion. Expensive, too.
The Lost in Space movie was hopelessly bad and had none of the charm or appeal of the show, as primitive as it appears today.
