Lemons – three times. Timewave – twice. The Promised Land – twice.

XI/XII – four times maybe

X/BtE – half a dozen times

1-VIII – more times than I could possibly begin to count, but significantly less for Series IV because my VHS started to disintegrate in the mid 00s

[tombow]

don’t remember seeing this before (apparently by the legendary Jim’ll Paint It)

[Flap Jack]

I have seen it before, but hey, it never hurts to see it again. I like how Lister and Kochanski get laser bazookoids (?) but Rimmer gets a literal black card.

Though it maybe slightly oversells the prominence of Legion in the show.

(And Clare Grogan.)

[Warbodog]

Just saw this gracing a YouTube reupload of the radio drama The Red Dwarf.

[Moonlight]

I was a lot younger when most of the Dave era aired so those episodes were in regular rotation for a long while just like the BBC era was when I got into that. For reference, I was barely 13 when Back to Earth aired.

[Technopeasant]

I think I have seen The Promised Land about three or so times. For the rest, damned if I know, but the tapes I said I had as a kid in the other thread offer some clue which are more than others.

And Legion is obviously the ultimate big bad of the whole show, it’s a blatant clue isn’t it?!

Howard’s got a bigger H

[loadoftottnumb]

I’m just kidding, you are right 

[Technopeasant]

[Ben Saunders]

I like Howard’s H more. Feels straight out of series VI.

Here’s a good screenie I found when comparing H’s.

[Dave]

Maybe when you’re a hologram you can choose the style and size of your H.

Am I right in thinking that the photo of Rimmer on his autobiography is just a screenshot from Me² with his H and prefect badges airbrushed out?

[Unrumble]

My god, he’s right… 

[Ben Saunders]

I always clocked it as a screengrab from Me², but didn’t clock that his H had been removed

It looks like a slightly different photo.

Considering he wore the outfit in the previous episode it’d make more sense that got him to model for the cover then, and have him pose similarly. 

[Flap Jack]

It looks like a slightly different photo.

It really doesn’t. Every single detail matches, outside of the ones that have obviously been changed in post.

[Warbodog]

Rudolph found the exact frame.

I hadn’t noticed the collar badges before, nor that they were wonky in the original. The first warning shot of Remastered.

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Let’s put this to bed once and for all by rotating and superimposing the two:
 

I don’t think this is the exact frame as a few minor details are off, but it’s definitely taken from this shot.

[Rudolph]

I didn’t mean for it to be the exact frame, just I was very tired and going through the Smega Drive and figured that that one was closest enough to illustrate my point.

[Technopeasant]

You underestimated the pedantry of this forum Rudolph.

It occurs to me that Garbage World “farting” its way out of the solar system is really similar to what happens to the Moon in Space: 1999.

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

I’d hardly term a nuclear dump exploding as a “fart”.

[Technopeasant]

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Lines that go together?

[Moonlight]

Better Than Life uses the word “farting” to describe it, hence the quotes.

[Warbodog]

I used to consider it a daft oversight that Lister had an egg inside him when he was a chicken. I was able to accept a machine changing his species and mass and then returning him to normal, but making him a lady chicken was absurd.

Honestly, that man looks really good.

I usually frame my weirdo comprehension of time in terms of The Simpsons (i.e. my mom and dad were both younger than I am now when the show first aired, and it’s STILL on), but I want to point out to everybody that we are getting ever closer to the ten year mark from the announcement of Series XI and XII.

[Technopeasant]

Unlike Homer, who is now younger than Bart.

Hey those series were pretty good. Have they ever thought about making a Series XIII? Just a crazy idea that came to me.

They made it in October
