Meats, you've started arguing on one side, then have somehow segued onto the other but you're still arguing.

I don't care about it, and I don't think anyone else should either.

Why are people expecting a level of internal logic from Red Dwarf X that was never present before? It's no more consistent than the various versions of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy are. It's always been that way, so I see no need to berate the new series for more of the same.

The leccy bill was a joke by Holly and never really existed. And the tax bill was Rimmer's anyway.

Shut up.

I thought it was surprisingly good. Not as funny as 'Modern Family', which we watched beforehand, but far, far better than I expected.

I particularly liked the moose question.

So, this is what the Doctor Who thread looks like to people who don't watch or like Dr. Who. Crikey.

Has anyone read the books? Or listened to the Audio tapes? They explain a few things too. Although they're like a parallel universe too.

EDIT: although the last time I heard them it was 17 years ago or something so I might be mistaken.

Yeah, the books are off on their own tangent, with numerous differences from the TV series. Then, just to confuse things further, Grant & Naylor wrote completely different, separate Red Dwarf novels following on from their last joint one after they split.

I have the tapes somewhere, it's quite jarring hearing Chris Barrie doing all the voices.

I'd image he does them quite well. Are the tapes just him reading the books?

Yeah, I have the tapes (somewhere!) and Barrie's impersonations are spot on. :)

The first Red Dwarf novel I still really, really like. It's great. Really fleshes out the RD universe (or at least a universe based on series 1 and 2 of the TV show, but in its own separate continuity). The second book's quite good in parts, but really nosedives during the last third of the book, with too much dialogue and events taken from episode scripts only minutely changed.

I thought the first episode of the new series was great, but I'm not sure how much of that was due to my expectations being so very low.

I had low expectations for the Blade Runner thing, and yet I was still shocked by just how bad it was.

I hated Back to Earth the first time I saw it, but I watched it again the other week and found it to be quite entertaining. I think it's because the first time around I was expecting more Red Dwarf, whereas this time I came to it after completely forgetting what it was all about.

I'm quite astonished by saying this but thus far, this is the best series of red dwarf for about half its run.

American edition of the novel drawn by an artist who had the situation described to him over the phone?

I've still only got round to seeing the first one of these. Are the others any good?

What, the new series? I really enjoyed the first two shows. The third wasn't so good for me but was nonetheless still entertaining. We've also been watching the reruns at the same time, and I think they all feel pretty similar—in other words, on watching the first two shows, they didn't feel much different from RD IV and V episodes.

So Red Dwarf 14 has started.

It was okay.

I still haven't watched the last series. I used to be such a big fan.
