Will “Lost in Space” Ever Get Its Props

Posted on by

Will Lost in Space Ever Get Its Props by Charlie Jane Anders is an interesting look back at one of my favorite shows when I was a little kid.

I think that one of the reasons that Lost In Space doesn’t get its props is that over the course of the series it just became too campy… although as Anders points out the Batman series was equally as campy and is now revered.  Perhaps the difference is that the Batman  series was always camp and Lost In Space slide down that slope after starting out as a more serious adventure series.

The Punisher is one of Marvel’s best known and most popular characters.  There was a time when that wasn’t the case.

What brought the skull-wearing assassin to the big time, you ask? (And I’m glad you did.)

Thanks should go to the first Punisher mini-series by Steven Grant, Mike Zeck and Big John Beatty.  You could tell from the cover, things were about to change for good ole Frank Castle.

Tarantino pitched Clooney on the film after directing him in ER.

9. THERE’S A GREAT HOMAGE TO RODRIGUEZ’S FAVORITE DIRECTOR

The character Scott Fuller wears a t-shirt that reads “Precinct 13,” a nod to the film Assault on Precinct 13, the second film by John Carpenter.

13. IT USED TO INCLUDE A FAMOUS TARANTINO SPEECH

The infamous Ezekiel 25:17 speech from Pulp Fiction was originally in Tarantino’s script for From Dusk Till Dawn. It was meant to be spoken by Harvey Keitel’s character as he fends off the vampires before being killed.
