Things about Red Dwarf that make you irrationally angry

[GlenTokyo]

I’ve just been going through some Red Dwarf and rewatching bits and bobs and I was reminded of all the things about Red Dwarf that make me irrationally angry.

Red Dwarf VII is particularly bad for this, although overall I think it’s not bad at all and is sometimes some of the better post Rob Red Dwarf and I’m usually quite kind to it, but what the actual fuck.

Absolute cluster fuck haha.. how big is Starbug supposed to be? 200% expansion or whatever right? So if that’s everywhere that’ll be why they’ve made the windows smaller. Seems about right, they’re probably half the size as before, but the air lock door is the same size, and not only that, in Xtended they stuck another door on that makes Starbug look even smaller than it did originally.

Don’t even get me started on the landing bay that, even if you subscribe to the opinion that Starbug has changed size in a TARDIS like dimensional anomaly sci-fi fashion like me, has no outer access. It doesn’t even fit with the outer shape of the ship considering it has to be in the top of the ship, so it’s either where the engine cut out is, where the bunkrooms are, or where the cockpit is. Which it obviously isn’t. Sort it out Doug man.

Also why so many ducts. Whoever designed that craft is a cretin. Get a Aircon engineer to go over the design and it’ll be palacial. Fuck me, miles of 6×4 foot ducting in a shuttle.

Time drive, I’m with that bloke that complained to Ed.

Sure, it’s made up, but if we care about it, shouldn’t the people that make it? Obviously the convention attendee was a bit of a dick if he wasn’t fictional, but he’s got a point.

In fact I don’t like VII anymore. I’m just angry about it now.

What are some things about Red Dwarf that make you irrationally angry?

Fans ranting on the internet? Craig saying every series is some of their best work despite at least one series being utter shite? People that call Back to Earth series IX even though it patently isn’t? The fact that the Emohawk gave the Cat free dental work and a new hairdo and nobody said anything?

Are this thread’s posts not loading for anyone else? Test post!

Edit: Now it’s working! This thread had hit 101 posts, so was at the top of a new page. But the page selection link wasn’t appearing.

Yes, I noticed that. I got taken to the empty page 3 but could still navigate back to pages 1 and 2 by editing the URL.

I think it got confused about the number of replies versus the number of posts. There were 101 posts total including the OP, so it thought page 3 would have 1 reply on it, when in fact only 100 of them were replies so they ended at page 2.

If there’s infinite Coke then that means they’ve also achieved immortality

I’m so sleep deprived I read this and then thought I was being clever when I thought of the same joke in response.
