iariaI enjoyed it.
+ I loved that what it took to convince the other robots wasn't Will's words or Robot's words but Robot sacrificing himself to save Will. I really liked how that whole scene played out, even when I still thought it was a permanent death.
+ But I loved even more that Robot survived. Him hiding himself in Will's new heart, Will taking his 'trust me' and understanding that enough to realise what it could mean and then doing exactly what he needed to in order to save Robot and the planet was great.
+ Penny bonding with Robot was nice and I loved how it led into Penny saving Sally, and through that saving everybody. I love that her success wasn't in getting the engine away but in taking what she learned and being compassionate enough (and brave enough) to do it herself. The way it all tied together worked for me.
+ I liked the final scenes of the Robinson family enjoying a family dinner (+ new members Robot, Don and Grant) and Will/Robot off exploring the galaxy together.
+ I loved how it seemed set up for Grant to save the day via good old human piloting and then instead Judy overrules him and choses to trust her mother’s programming by turning the auto-pilot back on - and was right to do so. That was so great.
+ I liked Grant and that his addition to the group wasn't played for drama. The first episode interactions with Judy were nice and I liked his scenes with John.
+ Don and Debbie were delightful. I loved him being all baby-talk at her cage, I loved his exasperated pet-parent grumbling on the planet and I loved her sitting on his shoulder at family dinner at the end.
+ I liked that the season managed to give at least on scene/story to each of the Robinson relationships.
+ I enjoyed the kids cliff adventure.
+ The way things always comes down the Robinson's can be a bit much when there are other people around. Them, and basically only them, running around to save Alpha Centauri from the robots was kind of ridiculous for me. On the other hand, only Robinson's being in their Jupiter also seemed contrived to me but was more 'whatever I'll accept it'.
+ I loved the Robot stopping Smith from falling back into her usual selfish survival methods. That he specifically acted to save her from herself.
+ I liked the reveals about the robots - their origins, their goals, what SAR wanted with Will - and how that was resolved.
+ I loved that Smith's last scene was with Maureen, and it was Maureen telling her to come find them when she got out.
+ Smith turning herself in surprised me but I guess if she wasn't going to do murder that really was the only way for that to go. ... Well, I guess she could have tried to go off and find a new planet.
+ It always bothers me the way the humans are instantly willing to abandon any robot but then I guess they often don't have that much of a choice.
+ I was really sad when Scarecrow showed up alive only to be killed off again immediately after. I was pleased that Sally survived her beat down and I also liked that she didn't stay but immediately left.
