« Pocahontas speaks with a forked tongue | Jewish minority white-skinned privileged male named Harvard's president; racist diversifiers object » Share Share | Twitter | Facebook | 188 Comments | Print | Email February 23, 2018 New Lost in Space has a black Judy Robinson, a Hispanic Major West, and a female Dr. Smith By Ed Straker Netflix is remaking the campy 1960s series Lost in Space. As might be expected, the network is doing everything it can to ethnically cleanse white people and men from the cast, but it's a hard proposition, given that in the original series, the story focused on Professor John Robinson, a white man; his white wife, Maureen Robinson; Major Don West, a white man; Will Robinson, a white boy; and Dr. Zachary Smith, a white man.

The show-runners started by replacing Dr. Smith with a woman, Parker Posey. Yes, Dr. Smith is now a girl (in much the same way that Britain's Dr. Who is now Nurse Who).

Then Major West was replaced with a Hispanic character, played by Ignacio Serricchio. Okay, Major West is Spanish now. Maybe he should be called "Major Oeste."

But the most confusing part is that Judy West is now being played by black actress Taylor Russell.

Hollywood’s new formula: remake a show or movie that no one wanted and cast minorities and women in the leads.

I miss Capaldi.

Nurse who will get less traction than Colin Baker. Colin had some lousy scripts.

The Mexican space program got a mention in a Doctor Who episode.

So much for that.

It’s only entertainment. It’s not propaganda to rework old shows with new actors. It’s money.

There’s a group swell of demand for redone 1960s bad TV SciFi with the actors ethnically & gender scrambled?

Really! Whodathunk?

It’s because that most of Hollyweird’s brains are so fried on drugs that they can’t come up with an original idea.

So they hope everybody forgets about the 1998 1 and a half star movie.

Super Troopers 2 is coming out April 20. Looking forward to it.

Hollywood is risk averse, therefore they prefer to produce pre-sold properties.
