Smegging good to see Red Dwarf back, if only for a weekend...
So what's everyone's opinion? I liked it, but somehow they seemed a bit old to be playing those parts, especially Cat.
It's cold outside
There's no kind of atmosphere
I'm all alone
More or less
Let me fly
Far away from here
Fun fun fun
In the sun sun sun
I want to lie
Shipwrecked and comatose
Drinking fresh
Mango juice
Goldfish shoals
Nibbling at my toes
Fun fun fun
In the sun sun sun
Fun fun fun
In the sun sun sun

Ok, part two I found a little disappointing, but I still liked it. I thought the part where he asked the Russian lady about murder and killing a hologram to be in the style of the show a decade ago. Hut I though the episode dragged a little.
-
I thought part two had more of the old feeling, despite the change in setting. My take on that: the cast needs a set. Performing against a green screen (as in part one) just isn't their thing. I also think the show suffers by not having a laugh track. Despite that, it's Red Dwarf, and I'm looking forward to part three.

Red Dwarf is Back????
Cool, I wonder how long we in Canada will have to wait to see it ? Probably years or until they release the DVD.
I want to buy the DVD box set, but since it is coming from the BBC, and has to be imported to Canada, it costs an arm and a leg.
BTW, Its STILL one of the funnest shows to come over here in a long time.
-
Ahem. Well, there are ways.
Part 3 had some funny bits (the tributes were nice), but I wasn't pleased with the overall story. "Back to Reality" was much better. Anyhow, I'm sure I'll buy it on DVD when it hits the US--I want more Red Dwarf, good or bad--but I hope they're given the opportunity (if they want it) to do a new series.

Ok, Seen it now.
It was ok, "typical, average episode of Dwarf. loved the "coronation street" bit as my roommate never misses CS.
Yes, they are starting to show their age. I swear Rimmer is starting to look like Al Bundy off of "Married with Children"
All I can say is it just made me want MORE.
_ASIDE: I think the CBC here in Canada has been playing "Coronation Street" since the show begin on Sunday mornings.

In some ways I felt it was a bit of a cheat that the whole thing was just a dream generated by the "happiness squid" (a relative of the "despair squid") but it was a bit like old times again. I loved the way the asked the Russian hologram who wanted to kill him about the morality of killing a hologram, and she said it was something that could be done without remorse, so he shoved her in front of a car...

I rather enjoyed it. I suspected it would be some sort of hallucination plot the moment they all clambered out of the diving bell covered in ink :)

Was there a 9th season or some kind of movie in between "the End?" and this? I know there was the whole dialogue about Chris's "death" but I guess I will have to go back and watch it again, because it is a bit confusing.
-
I was pretty disappointed with part one but it picked up after that and the Blade Runner tributes were pretty cool.

"The End?" The first episode of the first series? ;-) But seriously, no, that was just a plot device (and an inside joke). No ninth series. www.reddwarf.co.uk has some background on this and the possibility of a "tenth" series.
