Renaming episodes …

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Just considering Can of Worms is a terrible name for the episode for obvious reasons.  Thought “Mum” would be better.

Any other episodes you think would suit a different name, and what?

Oh man, imagine the build up to Series XI, but where “the episode where we finally meet another cat person” is also called “Mum”. The implications… the even greater disappointment and/or confusion.

I agree that “Can of Worms” is a poor title, but I don’t think I’d support “Mum” either, because the episode isn’t really about motherhood. It’s not even about fatherhood that much. My third option title is “Polymorph III – MPreg II”.

Here are some suggestions for other episodes in no particular order:

Cured -> Here No Evil

Thanks for the Memory -> Thanks for the Memories

Gunmen of the Apocalypse -> Cowboys from the Dwarf

Fathers & Suns -> Dad

Rimmerworld -> Custer’s Revenge

Meltdown -> War & Peace

Beyond a Joke -> Green Kryten

Duct Soup -> Lie Hard (… or Kry Hard)

Fathers & Suns -> Tony

Blue -> The One With The Rimmer Munchkin Song

Emohawk – Polymorph II -> Something Borrowed

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Personally, I think they missed a trick not calling it A Fistful of Dollarpounds.

(it being Gunmen of the Apocalypse, as if it weren’t obvious from the inference)

Meltdown -> War & Peace

More like War & Pieces

Meltdown should have been called Robot Wars.

The Good, The Bad and the Starbugly

Skipper should have been called Star Knot, on account of the star knot in it.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Or on account if there Not being a Star in it.

Didn’t we do this already? 

The End = Radiation Leak
Me2 = Rimmers
The Last Day = Hudzen 
DNA = Polaroid Head 
Demons and Angels = Triple Threat
Emohawk-Polymorph II = Mrs Lister 
Blue = The Rimmer Experience 
Back in the Red Part 3 = FFS it’s still going? What sort of sitcom series opens up with a 3 parter? The payoff is a callback to one line from Rimmer in the first scene, about an hour and a half of program ago. 
Back to Earth = Earth 2009
Dear Dave = Charades 
Can of Worms = Pipe Dream 
Timewave = Critical 
The Promised Land = Red Dwarf 13, The Cat People. 

There you go, one from each series, some serious, some not.

I do wish that GNP had had the stones to use The One Where Everyone’s Kryten as a title for Siliconia.
