What was that? J2's no longer--
Captain, I've lost contact with the Robinsons.
Anything? Radar is clear.
Wait. . . contact. Bearing zero-six-zero.
Potential conjunction.
What is that?
Ready?
The new potassium ratio seems to be working out.
It sure is.
Think this'll work?
It's worth a try.
Wake up.
Mom! Get up here!
Hang on a sec.
Oh, come on. This is both cruel and unusual.
Do you have any influence over them?
I try not to abuse my power.

It was easier getting a tree from a lot in Glendale.
This is the glowing moss from the shore.
-Look. Kinda reminds me of you know who. -Mm-hmm.
Maybe a little. ♪ The church bells in town. . . ♪
-Happy Holidays, everybody! You look different.
Yeah, he finally showered.
I want to smell good for Santa.
Can we open presents? Yes!
I wanna go first! I wanna go first. Okay. You guys, this right here
is my very last bottle of whiskey.
I want you to have it, in case of an emergency.
We haven't had one of those in a while.
Do we have to wait that long? -No.
Hey, Will. Merry Christmas, buddy.
Thanks, Dad!
Present time! Let's do this!
Come on. Wow.
Ooh.
-Time you learned how to drive.
I couldn't exactly wrap the Chariot.
-Nice! Yeah, buddy. -Thanks, Dad.
Um, you don't actually need the key to drive, or lessons, or permission.
This is for Penny.
Um, how is it for Penny if everyone but Penny gets one?
Here.
Did she write this? -Thank you.
So, um. . .
Penny's been writing kind of a memoir about our experience.
It's really good, so I published it.
-Wow! -Wow! Are we really doing this?
It's called Lost in Space.
Hmm, good title.
"Our Jupiter was hurtling through the atmosphere
at 25 times the speed of sound.
We were going to crash. . .
but for me
this wasn't the scary part.
The scary part happened long before anything went wrong,
when we were sailing merrily on a trip to Alpha Centauri,
because the idea of space
has scared me for as long as I can remember. "
Is that true?
No interrupting.
"I always thought space was darker than dark
and colder than cold,
and worst of all, empty.
I can't think of a lonelier place.
My mom thinks that space isn't empty after all.
That it's filled with dark matter we just can't see.
I'm not a scientist like her.
I don't believe in things just because they make the equations add up.
I need to learn things for myself
and that's where the trouble always starts.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. This is the story of discovery. . .
but not of strange new worlds.
It's about discovering what's in the places you thought were empty.
Sometimes
it's the invisible force of my family. . .
pulling at me, even when I can't see them. . .
reminding me. . .
. . . that I'm never really alone.
And sometimes it's about discovering
horrible monsters that want to bite your face off. "
During World War I. . .
there was one Christmas
where the French and the Germans
decided to stop shooting at one another
and came out of the trenches to celebrate together.
Peace on Earth.
You know?
We're not on Earth.
I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
Now you have.
Is that the breach alarm?
On it.
How we doin'?
Still in the green.
The winds are starting to shift, though.
I think monsoon season's finally coming.
Methane monsoon season.
There'll be fewer rocks blown at us when the wind's blowing from the sea.
Anybody else think it's ironic that on the last planet we were marooned
because we ran out of fuel
and on this planet we have the fuel for air,
but no way to use it?
-I don't believe in irony. -Which is, in fact, ironic.
Hey, Will. You ready to roll?
Hey, untense your shoulders. Relaxed arms means more control.
Okay.
Don't pump the brakes unless you wanna stop.
Yeah, okay.
Say, why don't we give it some more gas?
Gas?
It's an expression from when I was young.
Means more acceleration.
Oh.
Why'd you do that?
You don't need to look at the speed right now.
I just want you to get a feel for the machine.
Yeah. Feel for the machine.
How's this?
You're doing great.
Hey!
-I'll race you. -Penny.
Give him a break. He doesn't want to hit anything.
There is nothing here to hit.
Your brother's a man after my own heart.
Not enough attention is paid in this family
to the benefits of a cautious approach.
-Huh. It's time to take out the trash.
