I prefer the flying saucer;
to the flying toilet seat;
Personal opinion; Irwin Allen took the Swift Family Robinson and adapted it originally.
Rick Berman who never had an original idea in his life, took "Lost in Space" and ruined it.
Reminds me of another "idea" he had. There was going to be this space station located in neutral territory between an Earth government and a powerful alien enemy with which it had recently concluded a war. There would be mysterious godlike-beings and there would be a special human emissary who would uncover an age old conflict among those godlike-beings and in the end the human emissary would pass beyond our reality, as he confronted those beings and settled finally the conflict bringing in a new era of peace.
His second in command on the station would be a strong female lead military officer......
He would have a troubled chief of security.
His doctor would be a specialist on aliens and would have deep dark mysterious secrets.
No Betazoid, but he would make do with a parsite alien like they had done in the Stargate movie.
There would be a secret Bureau 31 to constantly hatch plots to plague our station commander.
And he would have a baseball mania.
And there would be a big war.
And there would be trips through a magical wormhole next to the station.
Bastard.
As always;
