I can see why. It does annoy at times, no doubt about it.

Smith in the original series would at least cooperate in the interest of his own survival.

This woman they have would rather commit group suicide than keep herself under control.

I wouldn’t know.
I stopped watching TV a long time ago. Movies are pretty infrequent, too.
I do watch some ‘on demand” stuff. Tonight, it will be Chili 5 Ways Nachos and either “Ferdinand” or a Chinese Kung Fu movie. The movies coming out of the PRC are amazing!

Other than the Robinsons, and Penny is very iffy at times, there’s nobody to be trusted.

No human that can be trusted, to be specific.

In the original series, Lost in Space, I thought it was interesting that the Robinson’s land on an ALIEN planet. They run into a guy who tells them that there are ALIEN life forms all over the planet.

Every time Will tells the family he saw a new alien, they all think he’s crazy and accuse him of making up stories.

Then, the Robinsons kill the alien life forms.

I don’t remember the plots now.

That is an interesting observation though.

I used to think it was so dumb to plan to kill the alien right off, but seeing how lame humanity has become, it’s beginning make total sense to me now.

The original Smith might avoid saving anyone else, but he was never known to get physical with any one (never harm a fly).

The new Smith is a conniving murderer.

Both of them were/are devious.

I really think that changing the ‘script’ is due to the modern audience being catered to. We are no longer entertained by the bumbling clown.

I don’t watch TV either.

However, I have a computer and I can watch what I want, when I want, and pause it if need be.

I’m watching episode 5 right now, in between checking FR.

I can see your point, and I don’t necessarily object.

To me it does seem that a devious clever person who simply causes trouble in self-interest, allows for much more story lines.

You can’t kill people in these shows without others taking notice, and then you’re incarcerated or executed.

Either that or it just become idiotic.
