‘Lost in Space’ Ep 2 ‘Diamonds in the Sky’: Seriously guys, what’s with the chicken?

Published

on

Hey, remember how there was no Dr. Smith anywhere to be found in the first episode? You’re in luck because a good deal of the first half of episode two deals almost exclusively with that character! Sort of. Onward we go.

So Don West (Ignacio Serricchio), Doc Smith, and yes, Debbie the chicken, have survived the bad landing of the Jupiter 14. Tam Roughneck wasn’t so lucky, but West can’t let that slow him down, so off the three of them trudge to try and find other survivors. Finding Angela Goddard (Silbongile Mlambo) badly hurt but still alive, they eventually have to take refuge from a nasty incoming storm. Some time Smith goes off alone, ostensibly to look for help.

We’ve all been observing the female Dr. Smith for a bit now, watching her manipulate people and things towards some nebulous personal goal, very indicative of the original Dr. Smith character, and it’s going rather well, I thought. For those of you who are tearing your hair out trying to remember where you’ve seen Lady Smith, Parker Posey, recall the third Blade Trinity movie, in which she played the lady leader of Dracula’s vampires, Danica Talos. Her unique style and mannerisms bring a fresh take on the villainous Dr. Smith character, great for this new Lost In Space take.

On the flip side, the Robot has proven to be a very useful person-thing, getting the Jupiter 2 out of the ice as he’s doing. Will and the Robot have become good friends already, but this actually serves to be a problem when a few Robinsons discover the ship the Robot came from, and Will and the Robot share a very disturbing revelation of a vision. Will is quick to grasp the implications of such knowledge, but like all Robinsons can keep a secret too. For a little while, anyway.

That same sandstorm that caught West and Angela out decides to catch the out-and-about Robinsons out too, so nothing would do but for Penny to get behind the wheel of a rover to come save them, like a no-license-having badass. Don West and poor Debbie and yes Angela too, they’re in no condition to signal the land rover even when they see it, but Lady Smith can. Especially since she stole the flare gun that West was saving to get him and them rescued, isn’t that so very Doc Smith of her? And thus did Dr. Smith meet the Robinsons and the Robot. Their worlds will never be the same again.

And for you original Lost In Space trivia buffs, pay close attention to the guy who gives Smith his jacket, in the best Easter egg tribute ever!

DISNEY+ CASTS DANIEL DIEMER AS FAN-FAVORITE ‘TYSON’IN SEASON TWO OF “PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS”

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
