Because they wanted to be free and live without Masters. SAR simply mistook Will and the concept of "The Heart" for a new Master come to control them.]]

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent: Dr. Smith seems to genuinely believe that everyone is as selfish inside as she is, and tries to persuade Maureen of this on several occasions. The culmination is a speech intended to convince Maureen to [[spoiler:abandon John in space]]. She never really buys into it, but the capstone is when Smith tells her that even ''Will'' isn't as good as he seems on the outside. Rather than [[BreakingSpeech break her]], as Smith intends, the speech motivates Maureen to full-out opposition.

** Smith pretty much uses social engineering 24/7. Absolutely every conversation she has, she tries to learn something new about someone, and then leverage it for her own purposes. If she needs someone to cooperate, she suddenly becomes a shoulder to cry on. If she needs someone to distract everyone else, she’ll wittle away at their peace of mind until they have a breakdown. If the person still resists, then she does blackmail and plays on their fear of punishment.

The Robinson's Jupiter gets smashed by a large chunk of the Resolute, it then gets crushed under tons of glacier ice while having its interior flooded for hours and it's still capable of flying. Their Chariot is just almost as tough, withstanding the heat of submersion in a tar pit.
