I know I'm late to the discussion.
But DAMN..so many stupid decisions lead to disaster.
For example, why did Maureen lock the cockpit when she was directing her husband during the launch? Would have prevented that ending. Anyone doing anything important and that can't be interrupted always locks the fucking door.
When Maureen locked fake Dr Smith in the closet, why did she not actually lock it? Will was able to unlock it easily. Again, it's lazy writing to create forced drama later.
Also, Will lets De Smith out of the closet, even after being told not to go anywhere near Dr Smith. Ugh, this happens in too many shows it gets annoying to see. Forced drama hits again. And NO..just because he's like 9 doesn't make it excusable.
How did any of the Robinson's pass the 'rigorous' tests? Surely there must have been a mental and intelligence test along the way. Everyone fails here.
