Lost in Space Ep 5 ‘Transmission’: “Bravery without intelligence is a risky proposition.”

Published

on

So finally the still-unnamed planet has more people on it, than just the Robinsons and their dubious guests.

The other survivors of the various Jupiter spaceships crashing are of course banding together to maximize their survivability, and the people leader that no-one voted for is giving the various groups their assignments. The main objective right now is to build a light tower and signal the Resolute, still out there in space and still looking for them all.

Mama Bear, also known as Maureen Robinson, has some really awful suspicions about the unnamed planet and consequently just has to go off on her own to get some high-altitude weather and planet-wide readings. The problem is, if you’re trying to do all this stuff alone, no-one’s there to help you when/if the unexpected happens, like a giant gust of wind that decides to steal your high-altitude weather balloon and latch it onto your leg on its way out, whee!

Smith is smarming her way around and through the camps, mostly focusing on the Robinsons and Will in particular, because as she’s learned, Will controls the Robot and Smith has decided she needs the Robot too. Given what previous episodes revealed about Lady Smith’s history, it makes sense that she wouldn’t want the Resolute to have any part of rescuing the crashed folks on the planet, but the lengths to which she goes to stop it are pretty cruel.

In fact, Smith goes far beyond attempting to undermine things by coercing the Robinsons into various actions by talking to them, to deliberate sabotage of the entire survivor encampment. The light tower is pretty, attracts curious moths, can be seen for miles in any direction and should be clearly visible to the Resolute out there in space. Matter of fact, the light tower attracts a rather large dinosaur-like predator, and since Smith disabled the perimeter fence, well it can feel free to just rampage through the camp.

Like so many other things Lady Smith does, the subtle multiple calculations she made in disabling the perimeter fence has more than one purpose, made abundantly clear when Smith goes to convince Will to call the Robot back from his cave and save them all. Convincing a small person to abandon their silly notions of all life being sacred is much easier when the lives of those he cares about is at stake, and a bright red multi-armed weapon of massive destruction is right there, willing and able to obey orders. There is definitely no getting rid of the Robot now.

Which might actually be a foregone conclusion, because what Maureen discovered up there in the atmosphere is going to kill all the survivors, sooner rather than later. And as she remembers being willing to do literally anything to make sure she and all her children, even the ones who can’t pass the tests, would be going on this trip to Alpha Centauri, the irony is not lost on her. Because the Robinsons and everyone else need to get off the unnamed planet as soon as fracking possible!

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.
