Star Trek's "V'ger" and Lost In Space's "Mr. Nobody" aren't that different.

In both stories, an all-powerful being yearning to evolve...

Was "You Only Live Twice" Inspired By "Lost In Space"? (video)

...in "Lost In Space" Season 1: Episode 2 "The Derelict" (1965).

(Watch them both and see if you agree.)

Coincidence? Or inspiration?

First Time Dr. Smith Ever Said "Oh, the Pain...the Pain" (Lost In Space, S1 E7: "My Friend, Mr. Nobody") (video)

Dr. Zachary Smith (Jonathan Harris) was one of the most popular characters...
