Having collected nearly half the entire series of "Lost In Space" on video I've come up with a list of thigns that I call "The Lovely Things We May Never Know" Others call them bloopers or plot oversights but here the one's that I've picked up so far. 1. Where in the hell is the chariot kept onboard the ship and how do they assemble it. John and Don went off to do that and I was wondering where the hell they keep and if it was stored on the ship in the lower decks how do they get it out of the ship. 2. The scene where John goes to "parajet" down to the planet. We really are to take seriously that those little rockets on his arms could let him land on the planet and enable him to return to the ship let alone re enter a planet's atmosphere without burning up into a roasty toasty fried crispy. 3. In the later episodes of the series we see the pod come out of the ship and as it leaves we see one of the only real "in scale" pictures of the JP2. When we see the pod leave we can clearly see that the ship has three decks because it does. The upper deck where they fly the ship, the mid deck with the cabins and elevator, and a lower deck where the power core is kept and we only ever saw this in one episode where Will was being chased by a monster. Interestingly as Will moved to get to the core he ran through a corridor that ran round the edge of the ship and we see shelves and shelves of cardboard boxes some maked as food packages and other odditties. Interesting that! 4. The ship can dock with other ships and in one episode where they dock unkonwingly with a prison ship they come down via a ladder. does this ladder emerge through the bottom of the ship via the aformentioned power core. Heaven forbid aren't the JP2's engines nuclear. I wouldn't want to be climbing down through a ship's power core no matter how safe you told me it was. Hey and while we're on this subject the robot joins them How does the robot use the stairs and the ladder? 5. Why did Will go to the stairs that the robot was gaurding and trick the robot, as there were two other landing stairs how come he never used them? That one I'll mark not as a blooper but a plot oversight. 6. Missiles. Yes the JP2 has missiles and later on in the series we will see them used in an episode assuming Ch7 lets us see most of them that is. It happens later on in the series and we see the ship firing missiles. There are no limits to what this ship can do. Anyone notice anything else? -- Love the controversy, To play Devil's advocate, To see the truths in life, The inner meanings to everything.
