* ThrownOutTheAirlock: Dr. Smith accidentally murders an unnamed ''Resolute'' crewman by trapping him in an airlock and refusing to cancel the automatic cycle. Bye, RedShirt that we never knew.

* ThrownOutTheAirlock: [[spoiler:Dr. Smith]] accidentally murders an unnamed ''Resolute'' crewman by trapping him in an airlock and refusing to cancel the automatic cycle. Bye, RedShirt that we never knew.

* LameComeback: After their argument over Victor breaking Penny's promise, Penny calls Victor a bad-kisser when he says they weren't really a couple when she asked if they're breaking up.

* PokemonSpeak: The Robot can only say three words: "Danger, Will Robinson." It still manages to make itself understood. [[spoiler:In the finale, it adds "Dr. Smith" and "Friend" to its vocabulary.]]

* ShipTease:
** Sparks fly between Don and Judy almost every time they interact, as Judy wants to be all business but Don tries to tease out her sense of fun, calling her "princess" and doing his best to get her to loosen up. Judy, in turn, ends up being Don's moral compass. Season 1 ends with the relationship inconclusive.
** Penny eagerly pursues Vijay through the middle of the season, presumably attracted by one of the few eligible young men near to her in age. As the relationship develops, she loses trust in him as she learns how much he's controlled by his father, but after she saves his life in "Resurrection", it seems as if they'll hook up... until she rejects him, having realized that she can do better.

** Anything the Robinsons and rest of the expedition do counts as well. They constantly find themselves up against threats nobody could predict and thus have to rely on their improvisational talent to survive.

* IndyPloy: However conniving and sinister she may seem, Dr. Smith spends almost the entire first season operating by the seat of her pants. Indeed, this is why her plans often seem self-defeating, because she doesn't actually have any long-term strategy. She manipulates whatever situation she's in to her apparent advantage and is excellent at thinking on her feet.

* ChekhovsGunman: Early in Season 2, [[spoiler:a flashback shows Judy doing a school report about "My Hero" and talking about her biological father, an astronaut who was lost with his ship. Grant Kelly's name crops up a few more times during the season. At the end, the Robot, following a human-made signal, finds not Alpha Centauri, but the ''Fortuna'', the ship Grant Kelly was lost with.]]

** In Season 2, significant efforts are made to prevent [[spoiler:a virulent metal-eating alien substance]] from getting aboard the ''Resolute. It gets there anyway by [[spoiler:hitching a ride inside the body of a mechanic who had metal pins in his leg after an old surgery]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: In the original series, the Jupiter colonization expedition to Alpha Centauri was the result of exploration for exploration’s sake, in the spirit of [[UsefulNotes/TheSpaceRace the Space Race]], which was in full swing at the time. In this version (much like in [[Film/LostInspace the 1998 film]]), the colonization efforts are prompted by a catastrophe that severely degrades Earth's environment.
* DeadpanSnarker: As the middle child, a teenager, and a bookworm among scientists, Penny handles stress by quipping at every opportunity. John later comments that it's what he loves most about her: "She gives me lip."

** In a much more minor case, Don West is changed from a classical hero pilot to a LovableRogue who abandons the ''Resolute'' in the face of danger and smuggles whiskey to the colonies.

* WhamEpisode: The ninth episode, "Resurrection" reveals that...
** [[spoiler: ... the "Christmas Star" impact that caused the environmental disaster on Earth was not a celestial object, but an alien ship,]]
** [[spoiler: ... the ''Resolute'' is powered by an engine recovered from the crash,]]
** [[spoiler: ... the Robot attacked the ''Resolute'' to recover said engine,]]
** [[spoiler: ... Dr. Smith reactivates the Robot and gains control of it.]]

* AdaptationExpansion: Rather than being out on their own, the Robinsons are (initially) part of a large group of colonists, the twenty-fourth such group to travel to Alpha Centauri, and many secondary characters interact with them throughout Season 1.

* TitleDrop: Subverted. In "Impact", Will observes, "We're lost." The audience thus prepared to groan, Penny, the DeadpanSnarker, responds, "No kidding." This scene is also in the trailer.
