This afternoon I started futzing around with Comcast's Xfinity TV service; first couple things I looked at were already hosted on Hulu so I'm not sure what the point is.
Anyway, I saw a banner for the old science fiction show Lost in Space. I remember watching it as a kid, but that was one show that never made reruns on TV like Star Trek did. Watched the premiere episode so I could get refamiliarized with the story line.
I love science fiction that's been overcome by reality; in Nasa's mission control the large display screens on the walls were overhead projectors,
and everyone in mission control came to attention when the President came on the TV (like that happens nowadays!). Flares were used to explore caves, even though they did have flashlights along.
One thing that I would like to know how they filmed were the jet pack scenes; the commander flew in circular patterns (so it couldn't have been done with wires), the lighting on the rocks and the commander looked perfect, and even the commander's shadow was cast on the rocks! How the heck did they do that in the Black-n-white age?
You only saw the top of "Danger Danger!" robot's head in a couple scenes, and I seem to remember there was an older guy who cast away on the ship, but he wasn't there; maybe they come into the storyline later. I may have to watch a few more of these! :handgestures-thumbup:
