The Enterprise, being many times larger and more massive than the Jupiter 2, was not shown being buffeted about in space to a comparable extent, and this lack of pitching and rolling may have contributed to your impression of the NCC-1701's unreality. On the other hand, the Enterprise was zoomed in upon and panned over fairly often, something I don't recall being done with the J2 (except in recent fan-produced CGI animations), and for me this more than compensates. In short, I love them both!My favorite shots of the J2 in flight remain the crash-landing sequence in "Island in the Sky" -- from the beveling planetward of the ship's luminous hull, evocative of the C57-D's motion in "Forbidden Planet", through the artful dodges of mist-shrouded rocky spires, to the final *thump* of (off-screen, alas) impact, it's absolutely magical.   See 1 other reply

If they opted for the remote island, would that make the Robinson family Swiss?(I'll pass on the Tylenol; after "The Man Who Folded Himself" it's all downhill!)   See 4 other replies

Oh, time travel questions - headache time! - actually I guess it depends on what theory of time travel is being presented. There might not be multiple sets of Robinsons, Wests or Smiths because - Once they've returned to the past, they automatically create a whole new time line beginning at that point - (a possible universe in the the multiple universe theory). Therefore, time would not unfold in the same way as they remembered it. Another theory could be: if they had just gone to an island or some place away from historical civilization for the rest of their lives. It would have been better than being "lost" in space again. They could have assumed alternate identities and lived among the rest of us. Or popular theory that what ever hey do wouldn't matter because it already took place in history anyway - and if they attempt to make people understand, something would make them fail to prevent a change of history.
