![]() She would like to do the right thing but due to her back story is simply unable to. Her performances are exquisite the way she uses her body movements, facial expressions and vocal intonations to portray a character who is fighting her inner demons, unable to control them but fully aware. She is played by "queen of the indies" actress Parker Posey who absolutely carries the show as the villain (whom you love to hate). Smith is reimagined as a female, even more conniving, self-interest obsessed but with a moral compass. Smith was an old dude, his character a master of manipulation and played very 'flamboyantly' (if you catch my drift). The creators no doubt named the family Robinson after that. I was just a little boy and like most boys at that age you imagined you were Will Robinson, the precocious ad hoc leader of the "Swiss Family Robinson" who are Lost in Space. Perhaps some of you youngsters have seen it in syndication. I am old enough to remember the original series.
