I had a vague recollection of where Dr. Bellows found out the “secret”, but other than letting that happen in a series finale, it would’ve killed the show.

Hayden Rorke’s “spouse”, Justus Addiss, directed many tv shows including some Twilight Zone eps (one of my personal TZ favorites, The Odyssey of Flight 33, he directed).

Re: Paul Fix. It was surprising he was hired, since he was about 65, getting a bit long in the tooth to do an action series (at least 65-year olds of that era) and three decades older than Shatner and Nimoy.

I didn’t remember the name of the unseen CMO in the reboot, though obviously yet another ill-researched gaffe in a long line (including having NuMcCoy with brown eyes, nevermind NuTeenKirk having bright blue eyes, both unforgiveable).

LIS reboot: Yes, Lacey was cute, though Heather Graham was her usual smoking hotness (though she played it as a real bitch), but I couldn’t take Joey Tribiani as Major West. They managed to make all the characters generally unlikeable, in fact, that familial dysfunction likely would’ve been a disqualifier for sending them as a pioneer family into space.

One of the last episodes, it was just a dream of Major Nelson (ironic foreshadowing for "Dallas").

The Odyssey of Flight 33

I like that one too. Too bad none of the attempts to bring back "The Twilight Zone" ever got it right.

I rarely notice eye colors but, that's not good.

Joey Tribiani as Major West

Yeah, it's been a while but I remember he sucked.

There was a hilarious skit on "Family Guy" once, it's not online cause of copyright nazis but it went.

Peter Griffin: Wow, I'm even better than that dad from Lost In Space.

[flashback]

Dad: We need to chart this planet. Greg, you take my 16 year old blonde daughter out in the chariot for the rest of the day. Penny, you stay with me. And Will, you and the robot go out into the uncharted wilderness and take this mincing, boy-hungry peadophile with you.

Actually, my personal fav of the ladies was Mimi Rogers. Sure she has 26 years on me, but that bodysuit did wonders for her....

Matt LeBlanc at least physically looked the part, and I thought he had his moments, but most of the time his line delivery was terrible. Heather Graham was cold as a fish. William Hurt had all the personality of an iceburg. Jack Johnson as Will...and people complained about Jake Lloyd? Whoever directed them did a poor job. And I think writer Akiva Goldsman was trying too hard to do a "serious" big budget flick after scripting the campfest of Batman and Robin. Probably should have sacked the writer, director, and half the cast, and you'd have had something a lot better.
