That is what I regret and find most frustrating about LIS as a whole. But I still watch it, off and on. It depends on the episode! kdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825429179234380868.post-77121412125959082542022-02-01T17:36:52.792-08:002022-02-01T17:36:52.792-08:00This episode actually has some interesting points ...<br />This episode actually has some interesting points to it:<br /><br />06:00<br />We get a look at the seldom-seen "mystery corridor" next to the galley.<br /><br />08:40<br />Look at the cool "space age" 60s flashlight John uses<br />when he examines the water tank.<br /><br />13:15<br />Water hole scene:<br />One of the few outdoor shots used in LIS.<br />Practically everything else was shot in a sound stage.<br /><br />32:35<br />Giant monkey scene....close the hatch!<br />Blu-ray reveals how <br />utterly filthy plexiglass viewport actually was!<br /><br />36:00<br />Rare "alternate lasers" used here:<br />https://zoppy.blogspot.com/2022/02/lost-in-space-oasis.html<br /><br /><br /><br />Even this episode is fun to watch in Blu-ray.<br />I always notice details I never saw before.<br />Get the blu-ray if you like LIS because the picture quality<br />transfer was exceptionally good.
