Lost In Space (2018)

This is something of a placeholder post, as I intend to get to the new Lost In Space in due course (I haven’t finished Jessica Jones season two yet) but dang the licence holders for a Mass Effect show must be annoyed.

Although it may also be noted that blue uniforms, grey T-shirts and buzzcuts and holographic starmaps were a thing in the 1998 film before that...

The core concept of Space Family Robinson, plus pilot, shifty doctor and Robot remains intact. The dynamic of parents and kids really makes it stand out from other long-term SF concepts. (And as I have noted before, such family connections can make for tricky roleplaying. Everything else would work with an exploration-centric space opera setting.)
