Lost In Space Season 3: Burning Questions About Will, Adler, And ...

Lost in Space has written the robots in a very specific way: though they are depicted as being more powerful than the humans, the robots don’t necessarily have more resources. We haven’t seen any more intelligent alien life on Lost in Space, out side of the humans and the robots, but what if the engine doesn’t belong to the robots? What if, just like the humans, the robots have just figured out how to use it? And even if that’s not true, the scarcity of the engine is still confusing.

What is the origin of the robots?

This one might never be answered, but it’s worth wondering where these guys came from at all. Generally speaking, murderous alien robots (or cyborgs) have humble origin stories. In the 1978 Battlestar Galactica, the Cylons were robots created by a race of alien reptiles, and of course in the 2003 BSG reboot, the Cylons were “created by man.” It seems really unlikely that Lost in Space will reveal the alien robots were actually created by human beings, but then again, why do the robots know so much about humans?

Why did the robot take the kids to the Fortuna?

Obviously, the huge cliffhanger of season 2 is the reveal that the the OG robot didn’t jump the kids to Alpha Centauri, but instead, to the long-lost spaceship called the Fortuna. From an emotional point of view, this is awesome. Grant Kelly — Judy’s biological father — was the captain of this ship, and its loss — and his presumed death —  is why Judy was adopted by the Robinsons. So, dramatically, if Grant Kelly is still alive, this is going to be really interesting.

But, that doesn’t answer the question as to why the robot jumped the kids there in the first place. Plus, if the robot knows about the Fortuna and Judy’s connection to it, that implies the robot — or all robots — know a lot more about human beings than we’ve been led to believe. Which could suggest these aren’t alien robots at all.

Lost in Space season 3 does not yet have a release date on Netflix. Season 2 is streaming now.
