"Lost In Space fans are going to get organized, because we'll see them showing up in all the theatres"
About this Quote
The subtext is a little cheeky and a little anxious. Cheeky because it flatters the audience with power: you’re not just watching Lost in Space, you’re part of a movement. Anxious because it reveals the entertainment economy underneath the nostalgia. Cult TV lives or dies on visibility. When Goddard imagines fans “showing up in all the theatres,” he’s talking about translating affection into a measurable metric. Attendance becomes advocacy, the simplest form of collective action in Hollywood.
Context matters: Lost In Space is a property that’s been rebooted, repackaged, and re-sold across decades. That cycle trains casts and creators to speak in the language of revivals long before “IP” became a dirty word. Goddard’s phrasing also echoes the pre-social-media era when being a fan required physical presence: conventions, letter-writing campaigns, lineups. It’s fandom as turnout, not timeline. The quote works because it treats nostalgia like a resource that can be activated, and it exposes the transactional bargain at the heart of every comeback: you bring the crowd, we’ll bring the screen.
