Whilst I feel like Will's pining for his Robot is a return to season one annoying, in general terms season two of "Lost in Space" remains much better than its patchy predecessor.
Our world expands again as The Robinsons are reintegrated to the larger crew. On The Resolute Maureen (Molly Parker) decides to take more of a back seat in the long term planning of the mission, whilst Will sees if his bond with the Robot species extends beyond his old friend. Meanwhile, on the planet Don (Ignacio Serricho), John (Toby Stephens) and Judy (Taylor Russell) all discover they're not as widely appreciated in a larger group, as they were, but each get a chance to show their worth pretty quickly.
Again. I quite enjoyed this one. There's a reveal at the start of the episode that changes our understanding of the show's premise a little. I have to admit I'm still a little confused as to exactly how the Resolute used to work, with "scarecrow" piloting. How they made him go where they wanted to go? I'm not sure I buy the science of building the ship around the crashed ship either. . . how are they integrating the technologies, particularly if, as the show says, they were like Neanderthals trying to rebuild a plane.
That said, I still enjoyed a lot of what John and Don did. There was some more humour, particularly from Don, a gung-ho John gets himself into trouble (which for once, is not resolved within this episode). Still not the best show on television, but one that's much more consistent now, and is improving.
