Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
At the beginning of the film, when the holograph of Mrs.Cartwright appears (complaining about the Robinson's son at school), the actress that plays the part is Veronica Cartwright, who was in the original TV series. [The hologram of the school principal was played by June Lockhart, not Veronica Cartwright, who played the mother, Maureen Robinson, in the original series. Veronica Cartwright never appeared on 'Lost In Space', but rather her younger sister, Angela Cartwright.]
The way Penny describes what will happen to her brother in the vacuum of space is entirely fictional. Your blood does not boil, you do not blow up like a balloon. They have both spent the last three years in training for this mission, they should know facts. [If you've ever had a sibling, you might have tried to exaggerate something (or lie) in order to scare them. Will might now that this is false which is why it doesn't seem to bother him.]
There is a scene where the dad looks up to see the ship get destroyed by that big rock, but by this time, the bubble has already collapsed, so how is it that he can still see everything outside the bubble if it has already collapsed and disappeared? [The bubble is not the limit beyond which the time machine can't see/operate, it is a side effect of the time machine itself. At a certain point you can see the Earth through the machine, thought the bubble never came that close to the planet.]
When Jon locks the doctor in the lab, the door comes down from the top. But later when Major West goes in to give the doctor the suit, the doors open from the sides. [The reason why the doors open differently is because they are a different set of doors, if you look you can see that the doors that Professor Robinson threw him in after he saved his daughter are still in that room, and also the room from which Major West enters is different because when Smith is thrown in he is thrown in from sick bay.]
Why would any organisation call themselves Global Sedition? 'Sedition' is an insult, a perjorative term, meaning someone who incites rebellion against a legal authority. It's like the UK Republican Party calling themselves the UK Treason Party. [The Seditioners are mutants of some kind, not really discussed much in the movie, they obviously make no attempt to hide their intentions so why should their name imply anything otherwise?]
In the scene when the bording party are trying to escape from the Prometheus, John Robinson asks Will Robinson if they can save the Robot he says "no". How is it possible then, for him to re-build it using parts from the original if it stayed onboard the Prometheus when it exploded, i.e., the central section with the small arms? [They would have carried sufficient spare parts for something as crucial as the only robot - a spare torso , for example.]
