This article dated today, seems to suggest that the people involved with the Lost In Space pilot are very confident and/or are oblvious to what is going on with the WB recently, that its pilot will go to series.
Well, that's not really a surprise - EVERY site is going to say that they're confidant that their show will go to series. It's just the nature of the biz.
It just may come down to LIS vs. DS for the final time slot.
Not that the Futon Critic is by any means the last word on the subject, but for what it's worth (which, given how completely inaccurate he was last year, might not be much), he did say that DS and LIS are each other's only competition.
But as I keep saying, as much fun as it is to read/discuss all these things, don't put too much stock in any of it - good or bad as far as the WB DS pilot is concerned. The so-called "experts" and "insiders" are often dead wrong. As hard as it is, the best thing to do is just prepare for the worst, hope for the best, and wait to see what happens on the 18th...
