FTA-TV Red Dwarf X

[Lensen]

Episode 1 out today. It was really quite good. Only real disappointment is they've chosen not to resolve/explain the season eight finale

 

[jod23]

WHAT? I knew nothing of new RD??

Please tell me Rimmer is back. The way he went in and out of the final couple of season was shit. He is the best character.

 

[Lensen]

Yep, just the main 4. No kochanski but also no holly

 

[Cleavy]

enjoyed. looking forward to the remaining 5 eps of the season.

 

[jod23]

I didnt mind Kochanski but no Holly? That's outrageous!!

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Was much better than I expected probably the best episode since series 6.

 

[Mr Eagle]

There were some moments where everything was just right (like the pay-off for the moose joke, oddly enough) but the rest...I dunno. I know RD has never been fussy about murdering its own continuity for the sake of a joke, but that felt like they've just thrown the towel in altogether.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Just watched the first 2. All 4 of these guys are in fine form, if anybody is worried about their age they just aren't real fans.

Had me in stitches.

Spoiler

Save us the time and delete yourself now

I think the end of season 8 was just a place holder alternate ending.

I'm not one of those people that whinges about canon. Abrams blew up Vulcan, who cares?

The bit with Dave leaving the tape for himself as his dad was classic

 

[Papa Juggs]

I think the guys have finally realised their classic formula and are looking to stick to it.

I'm not sure what it is myself but it's more about sitting around on Red Dwarf by themselves than running around in Starbug or reviving the whole crew. Just like the glory days of season 3 and 4

 

[Ry009]

I didn't have high hopes for it, but it was extremely solid. First ep felt a bit like they were re-establishing the characters for newbies but that's understandable.

Best set of eps since Series 6.

Anyone still watching this?

Has been sensational so far.

Haven't had a chance to see it yet, but apparently it will be on ABC1 on Wednesday nights from November 7th

 

[funk44]

new episode is quality

vending machine gag was hilarious

 

[Ry009]

Lister : "You thought Arreola was a Spanish goalkeeper!"
Rimmer : "Well what was he? Italian?"

Just caught it didn't realize it was on. Great episode boys back to their best
" your iq is smaller than the salad bar in a Scottish supermarket" classic

 

[Cleavy]

whole season has been a winner.

 

[Papa Juggs]

I challenge you to a battle across time and space!

The twist with Rimmer is a bit strange.

I loved the simulants. 3 million years into deep space all you're left with is a bunch of stark raving mad robots

 

[Lensen]

I guess I spoke too soon about not resolving the end of season eight

Cheeky stuff by Doug, at least they acknowledged it.

Early part of the episode was meh, but was great to see character development with Rimsy. If the series continues looks like it will evolve - which isn't a bad thing. Nod to the end of the very first ep was good too.

That was a nice touch, I have to admit.
