Haha, Dr. Smith's legal name is June Harris. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Harris

@noelle I didn't catch that

Good, good. Exobiologist responds to weird alien bug with "look how like us it is!". Establish points of commonality with the alien, even if they look different.

Hm, questionable prop design; Will flips the comms from red to green to turn them OFF.

Oh, /good/ callback with the rock-throwing / playing catch.

This woman needs to stop getting leg injuries.

Okay. The trees and a lot of the plant life have green leaves.

The grass where Maureen is setting up her experiment is purple.

I'm not sure I buy this from an evolutionary standpoint. Leaves are green on Earth because plants can get the most energy out of red light, so a purple leaf would indicate either that /one/ of the plants - I'm guessing the grass - is bad at getting energy from the sun, or red and yellow light are equally efficient ways to get energy here.

"I thought I raised you better than this"

dude, a whole plot point of this series is that you didn't raise your kids

That's not how black holes work, guys.

Oh gross, you guys. Having the non-white characters vocally disapprove of the alien character and the white folks step up to protect it? Fuck you.

Okay, the eels. They eat the Jupiters' fuel. That means necessarily that there must be another source of the stuff, or something that's chemically similar, near the Jupiter landing/crash sites; otherwise how would the eels eat normally? The Jupiters' fuel must just have been easier to get to and/or more refined.

a) Wow, the community leader is a /dick/. How did he get elected?

b) I'm glad they didn't make the "classical music" joke when Don West started blasting Van Halen.

Hilariously, I know the xenobiologist best because he was Shang Tsung in "Mortal Kombat".

@noelle Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa!

Prediction: The Resolute was never meant to go to Alpha Centauri, and it was not the first human ship to come this way. The Robot's attack on the Resolute wasn't unprovoked aggression - it was a response to something the earlier humans did.

Wow, their rocket fuel must have incredibly low density, if 3,000 gallons of it only weighs 9,000 pounds.

For comparison, 3,000 gallons of water weighs 24,000 pounds (a pint's a pound the world around) , and even gasoline, at ~6.3 lbs/gal, would weigh 18,000 pounds at 3,000 gallons.

Those aren't cryogeysers. Cryogeysers have no liquid component and these are clearly water vapor and above freezing.

The tank of recovered fuel has landed on someone! They have to lift the tank to get him out!

The tank's also been punctured so if they lift it off the "plug", it'll start leaking!

What will they do???

...everyone on this trip has forgotten that they have shovels. They don't HAVE to lift the tank. Just dig around the dude.

"Were'nt you a Navy SEAL?"

The only time we ever saw a military insignia associated with him, it read USMC. The Marines aren't SEALs.

DON'T SHOCK A FLATLINE.

"We sacrificed the fuel for nothing" dude I will travel through time and across the fictive barrier to punch you in your face

@noelle I mean, if it's after 15 minutes or so of CPR you could

It's going to do fuck all to help them but how many opportunities do you get to dramatically yell "CLEAR" and put a few thousand volts through a body?

@noelle cats will eat antifreeze even though it’s deadly. (I haven’t watched the series)

@Andy_P Oh sure, but the eels are described as thriving on the fuel.
