In a spectacular gambit that ends up destroying the alien ship (and Resolute in the process) - though hundreds of others are on the way - Maureen and John give the kids’ ship the time necessary to get through the rift and to Alpha Centauri. Though Judy ends up as captain of the vessel (thanks to John’s convincing words) and has Penny and Will by her side, Maureen, John, and Don are left out there with the rest of the adults. All families are affected by this, none more so than the Robinsons. Her plan is to put the alien engine on a Jupiter and populate the ship with all the children onboard the Resolute - all 97 of them - while the remaining colonists scattering through the system in the other Jupiters. Judy comes up with the family-splitting plan, one that is not what I wanted from the finale but is a beautiful payoff to Season Two and Judy Robinson’s - to this point - underused arc. Now that the robots have made it to the ship, there’s no way they can take the Resolute to Alpha Centauri. But even that is a temporary thing and the decision must be made: Where do they go from here? Unfortunately for the humans, the alien-killing device isn’t charged enough to end the robots and instead, puts them into a slow motion stasis. The visuals are spectacular here, giving life to the tangible menace these metal monstrosities represent as they scurry along the walls like overgrown spiders, with murder on their minds. Using the alien engine, John and Judy act as bait, lead the robots on a fantastic chase through the ship’s corridors in a scene more akin to the horrors of Aliens than a family sci-fi adventure. Led by Maureen’s ingenuity, the Resolute crew set up a literal kill-box, rigging the alien robot killing device to encompass an entire room.

Refusing to lead the ship to Alpha Centauri because it would mean leaving Will behind, Robot’s resistance provides just enough time for the Robinsons to free their family friend, but any celebrations (or consequences) are put on hold when the final incoming Jupiter (with Will onboard) is being hounded by an alien robot ship. On the Resolute, the Robinson band make their move against Hastings, who finds that Robot is not as easily conquered as Scarecrow. Well, she got her wish in a Jupiter captaincy. With no one to fly him to safety, a terrified Will (tremendous job here by Maxwell Jenkins) calls out an SOS to anyone who may be listening… Judy spent the first part of the season telling John how she was ready for more responsibility. Flying a Jupiter down to the desert world’s metal ring structure with Will to heal Scarecrow, the lightning storm they need for the task arrives early, forcing Adler to make a choice let Scarecrow die or pay the ultimate price? He does the latter, giving his life to save the alien creature though, unbeknownst to him, it also awakens the massive contingent of alien robots that call this structure home. If “ Shell Game” was the climax of Ben Adler’s tremendous character arc, “Ninety-seven” works as his capstone. Season Two of Lost in Space comes to a close with a non-stop ride of action, suspense, trickery, and leaving viewers with far more questions than it does answers. Lost in Space is now streaming on Netflix.“Thank you…for reminding me who I used to be.” He continued: “And within the course of like four and a half years, five years, you know, regular civilians like me and my friends have gone to space … quite frankly, it’s kind of mind-boggling, seeing all these advancements being made.” We started Lost in Space before people were sending normal people to space.” I was a diehard sci-fi fan and space nerd before Lost in Space, and I will be long after spaceflight. I want to go to space as soon as possible.
