Characters just get where they need to go with no real on-screen difficulty. (This for example makes the whole sailboat thing Abby and Owen are engaged in almost comical; we're supposed to believe they can easily sail down the Pacific w/no historic training as sailors?

I mean can't they just stick close to the coast?

The Pacific Coast is not a very easy coast to navigate, and even coastal sailing is pretty tricky! When I sailed on even a tiny yacht as part of a day cruise there were turns where the boat was practically almost 60 degrees from the water.

Fair enough. The only sailboat operator I've known was an Atlantic coast person.

Amusingly, the Atlantic coast of America is also pretty hard to navigate.

It turns out her backstory of being a spoiled rich girl who turned to crime when she was disowned by her parents suddenly gave her a useful skill the omnicompetent Robinsons never had any reason to learn

Dr Smith's actual build sounds like Whatever I Need to Keep People from Killing Me.

The thing is that we in the audience know she's telling the truth because we got a flashback to her going yachting with her sister but it is absolutely the kind of desperate lie Dr Smith would just make up right before fucking everyone over, which is Maureen's whole quandary
