Lost in Space [View all]

I was watching this last night and spotted something. The episodes name was "The Challenge." It's fun to find out that Kurt Russell was in this episode as the kid that challenges Will Robinson.

What was more interesting is that this episode was in the 60s, and they were technically promoting equal rights for women. Say what? (You can see the full episode on hulu.)

I'm paraphrasing but this is what was generally said:

Dr. Maureen Robinson: "Not on our planet, we're (women) treated as equals."

...What was her planet again?
