Apparently Netflix has a reboot of Lost in Space set for 2018 and they just hired the reason to watch it -- Parker Posey is going to play the role of Dr. Smith, aka that weird old queen who was always hanging around a little boy ion the original series.
Okay so full disclosure - I have never actually seen an episode of Lost in Space. I don't think they aired repeats of it when I was the right age to care? I did see the not-half-bad movie from 1998 which had Gary Oldman playing the old queen, though I barely remember it.
Oh I do remember Matt LeBlanc looking pretty good in his snug spacesuit though (see below), since I usually remember those sorts of things better than I remember my own childhood. Anyway I love this idea of Parker Posey playing all of the old queen roles in the Old Queen Pantheon. She could be the new Charles Nelson Reilly and the new Vincent Price all rolled into one.
