I think it's the bad writing that caused Dillane's desire to leave. Not too many actors request to leave a well-written show.
"I had been doing it for three or four years, the show has undergone many changes in terms of different people in charge, all of this stuff, and I just felt like the beginning of this season kind of felt like the end of an era with this show... I also felt like we had achieved what needed to be achieved in the first few seasons, so I thought it was time to keep moving."
They lost a child. Sometimes when a couple loses a child, they feel a need to have another one.
Right-wing snowflakes!
Not in detail, but Lucas had a general idea of what he wanted to do. The 1977 novelization of Star Wars describes the prequels in a few paragraphs which I did see on screen. It was part of the backstory. Lucas later described what he wanted for a sequel trilogy. Too bad Disney and Kennedy wrecked those plans by ruining Luke.
It's obvious that Lucas likes to slowly create his movies which is why he would do them in 3 year intervals. He seems to like feedback and make changes based on them which is why we ended up with very little Jarjar in Episodes 2 and 3.
There was a Mara Jade in the former EU who was Luke's wife. They had a son named Ben.
Nothing can be worst than the Last Jedi. Out of 5 stars, I'd say a 1 1/2 star movie. 2 at most.
Originally, the show was supposed to be about how the virus started and they bait and switched it into just another Walking Dead show with worst storylines. I bet that person wanted out.
I hate to write this, but Kylo's not a female and Kennedy appears to have an agenda to have only females be the heroes in this new trilogy. Somehow Abrams could still make Rey a Skywalker instead of a "nobody".
Lucas wanted the last trilogy to be about a Skywalker since the movies were supposed to be a family saga. That makes the most sense to me, but again, Kennedy and Disney appear to have a different agenda.
It'll be Rey's movie like the last two were. No more original cast members so the illusion can officially end.
He also wanted to be recognized by world leaders by meeting with them especially an American president. Now, he's getting that so he's happy.
Divorce and separation are more common though. The divorce rate for first marriages is around 50% and even higher for second marriages. This is Maureen's second marriage.
In regard to homogeneity, non-Hispanic whites were 62.06% of the U.S. population in 2014. Less than 50% of children under the age of 5 are non-Hispanic whites as of 2015. This show takes place in the future so bi-racial Judy and Hispanic Don make plenty of sense demographically.
Anyway, they already showed a happy marriage and homogeneity in the 60s show. They're trying to be more realistic with the reboot.
Orci has no writing credit for this movie so it's probably an entirely new script.
I don't want Tarantino involved in Star Trek if he's going to turn it into a dystopian movie, the opposite of Roddenberry/s vision.
You're probably a very responsible gun owner with plenty of common sense. Unfortunately, there are people (I personally know some) who are dead because someone used a gun while angry. Knives and fists are used also, but guns are more lethal. Crimes of passion are common.
I don't believe mentally ill, clinically depressed, or substance abusers should be near guns either.
BTW, I was actually being sarcastic about the Robinsons. They're on a planet with hostile life forms so guns make sense for them. The 60s Robinsons did use guns.
Judy is from Maureen's first marriage. Divorce and diversity are reality. It's also introducing another dynamic because Judy is angry at John. I'm not sure if it's because he's a stepfather, wasn't around enough or something else.
I've haven't watched all the episodes yet, but I'll try to answer.
I think the family is used to living without the father since he wasn't around much, anyway. It sounds like that's what broke up their marriage. He's almost like a stranger or interloper within the family and is trying to learn to co-parent and live together. I don't believe this family would've been chosen to live on a space colony since compatibility is important.
Telling children that dad's work is more important than they are doesn't work well.
She didn't invite him. She needed permission to permanently leave Earth with their children and his never seeing the children again didn't sit well with him. He didn't want to deny his children a better future in a space colony, so he decided to come along.
I'm not sure a family that bickers as much as they do should have guns readily available.
I agree with most of your review except for a few things:
*I thought Dr. Smith being female is a better decision to avoid comparisons with Jonathan Harris' unforgettable performance.
*The crises are over-the-top, but I remember the original family having a crisis in every episode too. This show's melodrama including infighting does seem more forced though.
* The character development of Judy, Penny, Don, Maureen and John is better than the 60s counterparts. The 60s adults were dull except for Smith, of course. The boy portraying Will isn't as strong an actor as Billy Mumy's and I don't like the new bland robot.
* Not one non-white person in the original show. This show's diversity is a plus.
* I hate the new music. The 60s opening theme and soundtrack were perfect and composed by John Williams (Star Wars, Superman, Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET...)
This show is better than I expected, but it has a few problems: 7/10. I still prefer the camp original 9/10.
"Can't have less than half a person so they make it one."
Judy is biracial if that helps.
John and Maureen are separated which is why she's treating him like crap. The family appears to have a problem with him not being around often because he was in the military.
She can't be too liberal since she's still the only one cleaning up after dinner. I thought they would've updated who does housework from the 60s show.
Nope, I haven't forgotten that dopey scene. There's a possibility that Abrams will fix that scene with a good explanation and the last Jedi mess in Episode 9, but I'm not holding my breath.
I think it's normal to sign up actors for three movies even if they intend to make only one. He makes more money only if those sequels are filmed.
