LOST IN SPACE: Season 1: Danger, Will Robinson
Fresh, Exciting and Inventive
What You Need To Know
“Danger, Will Robinson” is the final episode of the first season of the rebooted LOST IN SPACE series. This is the Robinsons’ last chance to save their father, escape the planet and return to their transport ship before the planet kills them or they are abandoned forever. June has kidnapped the Robinson family with the help of the robot and tries to force them to abandon John and save themselves. However, the Robinsons fight back, and Will desperately tries to win back the robot’s loyalty.
“Danger, Will Robinson” is the final test for the show’s main moral conflict: sacrifice for each other versus self-preservation. June’s desire to save herself is ultimately unrewarded and a failure, while the Robinsons’ love for each other and willingness to even die for each other is heroic. The Robinsons value their family over everything else, and that deeply moral value carries heavily into the final show. This episode has some smaller plot items that feel especially contrived, but the larger plot is engaging and genuinely surprising. Most of the episode takes place in space, where the computer-generated graphics shine. A violent final battle between robots warrants caution.
