![]() Once we learn that this is a family of exceptional over-achievers who passed the stringent tests required for the colony mission (all except Will, who failed the stress test but had his results fudged by Maureen), the in-fighting and tension between the Robinsons starts to make a lot of sense. Penny and Judy also snipe at each other, setting a precedent for the bristly dynamic between the two sisters that would persist throughout the series. ![]() In "Impact," Penny cheats at cards and, after being caught, stubbornly insists that Will hand over his card anyway. When we first met the Robinsons, Maureen and John were barely on speaking terms and the kids didn't get along great either. Alpha Centauri manages to raise its defense shields again (unlike most sci-fi shows, the human spaceships in "Lost in Space" are not equipped with guns or missiles, so defending is the best they can do), but not before a single alien robot ship gets through - with SAR onboard. After acquiring the location of Alpha Centauri by scanning Don West (the only member of the Jupiter-2 crew who has been to the colony before), alien robot leader SAR prepares to launch an attack on the colony, sending an advance team to sabotage its power supply. Unfortunately, danger isn't far behind them. Given a choice between heading on to Alpha Centauri and going back to rescue their parents from near-certain death, Captain Judy Robinson makes the decision to defy her original instructions and return to where the rest of the colonists were stranded, risking the children's lives but ultimately getting everyone to Alpha Centauri alive. I was impressed by the depth of the plot in season 3, with attempts to bring in origin stories and with many answers forthcoming.When "Lost in Space" season 3 begins, the Robinson children have been separated from their parents for almost a year (providing a handy explanation for why Will Robinson actor Maxwell Jenkins is now about three feet taller). The real threat of SAR is luring, and the characters have to group together and brave their environments with sincerity and precision. The final season attempts to hammer as many plot points as possible, which is never the ideal approach when riding out a story, as it means squashing in as many answers for the finale.īut season 3 is certainly not a farewell tour. ![]() However, at this point, we are so warmed by the character development that it can be forgiven that the topsy turvy approach still exists. It still suffers from a writing problem with convoluted direction from scene to scene. Previous criticisms of Netflix’s Lost in Space exist in season 3. It’s a tempting premise for returning fans and one that will indeed aim to conclude on a high note. Season 3 brings the consequences of that decision a year forward, with the children finding ways to get to Alpha Centauri on a dead planet while the adults fear and strategize against SAR. They were left with no choice but to seperate and keep the children safe. ![]() At the end of season 2, the parents and children were separated after robots attacked them. Season 3 is the final journey to Alpha Centauri, dubbed the new home for the Robinson family and their acquaintances.
