Back To Earth…

SadGeezer — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:18:06 +0000

I know it’s been slated by many Red Dwarf fans, but I actually liked the recent 3 part Red Dwarf Series “Back to Earth”. It was like seeing an old friend again. Sure it wasn’t as polished as seasons 4-6 or as immature and silly as seasons 1 & 2, but it was still worth a viewing!

I particularly liked the self effacing nature of the series, it’s modesty (considering it’s such an influential show), cultural references to shows and films as far apart as Coronation Street (Brit soap opera) and Blade Runner and indeed, red Dwarf itself (Back to the Future). It was clearly innovative but also a little pedestrian and ‘mature’. The characters didn’t have the same vim and vigor as they did 9 years ago 🙂

Kristine Kochanski’s appearance at the end was great! The unanswered plot thread (ie. why she had died (or was she really dead?), Kryten’s peculiar behavior, and the appearance of the Starbuggy left me wanting more. This new Dwarf was great for wetting our appetite for more, interesting story, nostalgia and a couple of unanswered questions that certainly get me interested in seeing more.

holy crap its quiet here now. where did everybody go? anyway, have many people heard that some new episodes of red dwarf are being filmed from january 2009 and will be aired on channel dave in april. robert llewellyn confirms this on his youtube channel ‘bobbyllew’. looking forward to the new episodes but also quite worried incase it is awful. i know what i want to see. what about you guys? they better not try to make it come immediately after series 8 because all the actors are considerably older now. they should say it’s ’10 years later…’ which it is. and just show us what is happening to the crew now, lister should be having some sort of mid-life crisis, kryten should have developed some hilarious malfunctions, cat should be still trying to cling on to his youth, maybe rimmer is a bit cooler now? holy is probably more derranged and kochanski has maybe finally given in to lister and married him cos she wants kids before she’s too old! that would be good actually to tie it in with one of the early series where apparently in the future they do get married. problem is though how to join this up with the climactic ending of series 8!

what do you think?

Thank you!

Somebody posted this before, I think it might have been on another board though.

I wish they would bring out Creature from Black Lagoon chips, or obviously Robotech or Lexx ones.

Anyone seen these?

[quote=”SadGeezer”]That’s the problem with being a Lady SadGeezer! We get to see a few really good Sci Fi shows and our expectation increases.

I honestly haven’t seen a good Sci Fi show to consistantly match LEXX, Babylon 5 or Red Dwarf for years!

All three of the above NEVER reverted to the standardised formula that we see today (and yesterday). Maybe that has something to do with it.[/quote]

Agreed.

[quote=”thefrey”]Hello Back At Ya. 😀

I am also a big fan in the states. I wish they would have gone ahead and made that movie, but I guess that is finally a dead deal. :([/quote]

Yes. I was hoping for anything really. Especially a series with at least a couple of the original cast. I truely miss the antics of this show.
Here’s to the whole crew of Red Dwarf. (Raises glass).

Rimmer is just the most cringe worthy man in the Universe,a sort of intergalactic Alan Partridge,but his character would not work half as well without Lister Kryton and The cat so im afraid I cant pick a favourite…I can tell you my least favourite though..Kachanski! by a mile

Rimmer because nobody can feel sorry for someone so hateful and yet – we all do!

If you’re in trouble he will save the day,
He’s brave and he’s fearless come what may,
Without him the mission would go astray.

He’s Arnold, Arnold Arnold Rimmer,
Without him life would be much grimmer,
He’s handsome trim and no-one’s slimmer,
He will never need a Zima.

He’s Arnold, Arnold Arnold Rimmer,
More reliable than a garden strimmer,
He’s never been mistaken for Yule Brinner,
He’s not bald and his head doesn’t glimmer.

Master of the wit and the repartee,
His command of space directives is uncanny,
How come he’s such a genius,
Don’t ask me.

He’s Arnold, Arnold Arnold Rimmer,
He’s also a fantastic swimmer,
And if you play you’re cards right
He might come round for dinner.

Haha! Wadda blast

The actor (Chris Barrie) is quite superb. He manages to pull off Rimmer and Ace Rimmer seamlessly!
