rough cut 1,714 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Ok, so two episodes in and it’s a good show. Plot wise I guess it’s not great, and the dialogue is a bit hammy, but it’s good. It’s ok. What really is stellar though is the score. Symphonic and cinematic! Sweeping and engaging. At least in the context of the show. It really puts other shows to shame, and I’d like to argue a lot of movies as well. Symphonic scores are alive and well! Thank you Christopher Lennertz! Now, I’m too unfamiliar with JW’s original Lost In Space music to be able to pick out any reference. It’s my understanding that JW wrote two themes for LIS back in the day, and that Lennertz’s new main title features both of them prominently. During the show, the first on is used less in favor of the second. Anyone with better knowledge of JW’s original score care to comment on the adaptation?

King Mark 3,631 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I don't hear Williams first season theme in the new Main Titles And Williams composed a ton of motifs for his original scores (he only wrote 4 episode scores ). I haven;;t listened to the new music to hear any references to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,520 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I've finished the show, and really like it. A bit in the style of the underrated EARTH 2. Hoping for a season 2! As for the score, however, I'm less impressed. I like the references to the JW theme, but a lot of the underscore otherwise comes off as rather "giacchinoesque" chords that go nowhere. It's all big and symphonic, but there's very little heart of structure or thematic finesse. So it gets a 'meh' from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,091 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 On 4/6/2018 at 6:29 PM, Thor said: Listening to the soundtrack now. It's all big and rambunctious and traditionally orchestral (so I'm sure it will please the 'reactionary crowd'), but it doesn't do much for me, I'm afraid. Kinda directionless bombast, like a Giacchino score (but slightly better). Could be because I don't gravitate very much towards that kind of score anymore, I don't know. Some of the more lowkey tracks are fine, though. So far, I can hear no references to Williams' theme or themes beyond the brief cameo in the title sequence. Directionless is indeed a good description. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rough cut 1,714 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Yes, it’s a kids’ show. So is most of the pop cultural phenomena we consume today. Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar... Still entertaining though! And the music might not be all engaging throughout. I read complaints that is was mindless droning. Perhaps. But keep in mind it’s a TV series. By definition, they move slow plot wise. It makes sense to me that the music would match the pace. However, there’s a wonderful musical section in Episode 2, which is melodic, energetic and has a distinct classical feel to it. It stands out. I mean, not just in the show... blockbusters beg to have this music written for them! It’s Williams-y but you can tell it’s not written by him. That piece is what made me realize that the show sounds like no other, kids show or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,520 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Another small thing I like with the score is when Lennertz utilizes more or less the same chord structures as in the JW theme, but then plays around with it. But you know that when the references to the actual theme or the chord structure of that theme is the best thing about a score, it's a warning sign.

igger6 894 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 It's woven into plenty of cues. But Lennertz's main theme also bears some passing intervalic resemblance to it, particularly when being twisted into a minor key and so on, so it can be hard to distinguish them unless you're paying full attention.

MrJosh 892 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I gave this a listen, really enjoyed it. Some moments reminded me of David Arnold in action-music mode, and I really did like the way Lennertz blended Williams' season3 theme into the score.

Tallguy 3,401 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Listening to Season 2 yesterday and I realized that there is so much great stuff on it. But John and Judy still blows me away. Funny story. I got laid off from my job shortly before season 2 dropped on Netflix. I was doing a timed coding exercise for an interview and as always I was listening to music. And as was my habit that month I was listening to season 2 of Lost in Space. I almost gave myself a heart attack. Thrilling suspense music is not a good combination for high stress situations in real life. I switched to the Gayane Ballet Suite and I was much better off.

Thor 7,520 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I was about to watch the third season last night, but realized during the summary section in the beginning, I had forgotten most of the plot. That happens sometimes when it's been long since the last season. So I had to start all over with the first season, and I'll get to the third eventually. Not that bad, really, since the first is excellent (those first couple of episodes directed by Neil friggin' Marshall are great!). As I've said elsewhere, there are bits and bobs in the score that are nice (obviously, the Williams theme references are neat), but a 50-minute playlist of all three seasons would suffice, I think.

He kinda got a "big break" this year with the TOM & JERRY movie (even though I didn't really care much for the score). But yeah -- he's been kinda following the career trajectory of Theodore Shapiro with loads of inane comedies and sequels for most of his career. Would have loved to see him branch out in a big genre feature film of some sort. Alternatively some small indie film with lots of cred and an interesting musical pallette to work with.

Tallguy 3,401 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 My son has a hard time telling the difference between JW's Lost in Space theme and Jurassic Park. (Like some people do with Star Wars and Superman.) There is a piano arrangement of the LiS theme this season that has me starting to see what he means. We watched Hawkeye last night, but tonight it's on to Lost in Space. (Or as my brother calls it "We're F*cked in Space" because it's all peril, all the time.) @Thor I watched a season 2 recap last night and I'm glad I did. There was a lot of that season that I forgot about. It was one of those "things that happened right before COVID". Spoiler I remembered most of the stuff with the family and Smith and Don, but somehow forgot about Scarecrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,373 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Most Netflix shows have a recap of the prior season, it just doesn't auto-start when you begin the new season, you have to go into "trailers and more" and manually play it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJosh 892 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Listening to this now and really enjoying it. Sometimes it sounds like Lennertz has a David Arnold-ish forceful drive to his action writing that I really like. Trying to catch each cameo of JW theme so I can add those tracks to my "other composers using a JW theme" playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
