Worst lines ever

[Seb Patrick]

For reasons too tedious to go into, I decided to put myself through watching “Only The Good” yesterday.

“Talia! The nanobots must have resurrected you, too!”

Yes, it’s what I think. Fucking live with it.

Poor series 1 :(

8 second best and 7 better than one?

Crikey!

[Pete Part Three]

Fuck.

YOU ARE DEAD TO ME.

Would it be hideously inappropriate for you to insert the specials’ scripts in your list?

[JamesTC]

VI>III>V>IV>II>VIII>I>VII
Though I love them all, all are far better than any other TV Show.

You still trust his opinion?!

[Pete Part Three]

I did a lol.

[Andrew]

Hideously!

Not actually because of the confidentiality, though. I’d just hate to compare a finished production to the version of the script that exists in my head. Just saw a cut of what we’ve shot so far and there are performance elements that enhance things far beyond what I had in my head.

So much of what makes a thing work are in the areas of design, direction, performance, effects, music…to go only by the script would feel wrong. As would comparing a six or eight part series to what’s being done in a shorter single story.

[Jonathan Capps]

You are, of course, absolutely correct.

> Just saw a cut of what we?ve shot so far and there are performance elements that enhance things far beyond what I had in my head.

This is really exciting!

Juat what the hell are we going to be getting?!? April really can’t come quick enough for me!

[Ian Symes]

Hard.

[Danny Stephenson]

Good. Just checking.

[pfm]

> III>VIII>II>IV>VI>V>VII>I

Anyone else and this would be fairly shocking (at least III and II are up there), but nothing surprises me with this guy.

It’s true that it would be unfair to rate Back To Earth against the full series’ that have come before it. Though I have a sneaking suspicion these two 24 minute episodes are gonna me more entertaining to me than the entireity of VII.

[locusceruleus]

> III>VIII>II>IV>VI>V>VII>I

So now if you say the new script’s great, we can all wonder if it’s ‘great like series 8’ or actually worth watching.

On a related note, I saw Pete (1 and 2) the other night for the first time since they first aired. I didn’t even watch them when I bought the DVDs. To my surprise, it was even worse than I remembered.

[Dave]

> Phil?s Condensed Films > Mr. Carruthers Presents > VII

You are too kind.

[hummingbird]

> III>VIII>II>IV>VI>V>VII>I

Brimming over with wrongability.

The order is
III>V>IV>II>VI>I>VIII>VII

[JamesTC]

No, no, no! The correct order is VIII>VII>VI>V>IV>III>II>I

[Danny Stephenson]

Yeah, None of you are grasping this number system at all.

[Walter Raleigh] LOLz, just kidding [/Walter Raleigh]

Oh Walter, really.

There really needs to be a once-and-for-all, definitive poll about the order, one that no-one can EVER argue against because they only have to look at it and be pwned in the face, forcing them to have their opinion swayed by the fucking bourgeoisie.

Anyway…(no, I don’t know what I’m banging on about either) as broadcast, I’m gonna put my hand on the table and say that VIII IS the worst, with VII scraping past it (leaving a trail of slime in it’s wake) due to stuff like the Rimmer song, the Ace sequence, much of Tikka, the model shots (as sparse as they are), Goodall’s music in the first two eps, Craig’s acting (that’s right, ACTING) particularly in Duct Soup and the Kennedy van scene in Tikka, the impressive single camera work, etc.. The only thing missing is the laughs. And the story. And some decent sci-fi… OK OK that’s harsh, especially considering what we went on to get in VIII in that regard…

My order would be II > V > III > IV > I > VI> VII > VIII

I prefer series 1 above VI because VI contains four episodes I don’t like, whereas series 1 has only two. Actually make that just one, Waiting For God. I can watch them time and time again, unlike VI episodes like Psirens and Rimmerworld that just pain me. I’ll stress again that I fucking hate Legion, aside from Rimmer getting the hardlight upgrade and ALSO the part where Legion becomes weak because the others are going to sleep, which I find rather good. The light switch gag is crap (I know you all wank over it on a daily basis, well I’m very happy for you), and the light BULB line was funny in 1993 but now I just want to mute the sound.

[locusceruleus]

My order would be

V > III > VI > II > I > IV > VII > VIII

I actually liked seven, especially the Xtended episodes – though whether they should be counted, I don’t know. Tikka makes up in a lot of ways for the shortcomings of that series. I liked Ouroborous, despite the lack of woofers. Epideme and Nanarchy I quite liked…to be honest the only thing that really pissed me off was Mr Wacky Robot/Menopausal Kryten. Not funny, grating, seemed to go on forever.

So the only series I didn’t like was Eight, which I should shut up about I guess. But I just fucking hated it, and still do. I sat there, open mouthed and wide eyed, like someone catching their grandparents doing BDSM. Strangely unable to turn away, stomach churning wondering what the next travesty would be. And then a dinosaur stomps in.

Five is definitely the one where everything gelled perfectly. Great stories, great jokes, good setups…just amazing.

[Phil]

I’d just like to throw my support behind the idea of an ULTIMATE POLL

The anal rape of Mr Blobby.

[Jonathan Capps]

> I?d just like to throw my support behind the idea of an ULTIMATE POLL

Well, we can fashion one from our episodes poll. Working on the same scoring basis (1 point for 52nd place, 2 points for 51st and so on) but applying them to their respective series, we get this:

V – 233
VI – 212
II – 210
III – 209
IV – 205
I – 175
VIII – 81
VII – 56

[pfm]

Well crow the stones, look how high VI is. Only a few points in it though, like a motherfucker. 1 is way too low, such fucking great episodes The End, Future Echoes, Me2 can’t be fucked to do the squared character lazy shite, 150,000% better than VI. V is way well deserved though and it strikes me as a bully that some people don’t rate it as highly as say VI VIII and all that piece of plastic bollocks, chuck it right in the fucking bin.

IF only had a choice of ONE Dwarf series to keep with you forever and ever amen without leaving behind any others which would it be? I love II so much so I would say that, but then there would be no Bobby in the show ever so that’s unfair, I’d say III instead but V is better and though III is the most consistent out of all, not a bad one in it (I only dislike the scene with Rimmer’s mum), IV has the shite of DNA and Camille so no way that. It’s GOT to be series 2, without any shadow of doubt or remorse and then I would say V or III.

[Somebody]

How do we know that Kryten’s interpretation of the “knight escaped from AR” line wasn’t “it infected his light bee and destroyed his core programming through a Gunman of the Apocalypse-styled series of events”?

[Dave]

I don’t particularly agree or care but I find this quite endearing:

II – 210
III – 209

[Tanya Jones]

III>VIII>II>IV>VI>V>VII>I

Yes, it?s what I think. Fucking live with it.

But I can’t, especially when there’s the beautiful piece of work that is Me2 in series I…

[Mr Flibble]

But fashioning it from your episodes poll isn’t going to give a view of us as a whole – for example you lot all love Series VI, when plenty of people don’t.

It would be really cool if you could do a proper poll…

[pfm]

After some of the flaky responses here do you seriously think a ‘proper’ poll could ever happen? It’s yet again a case of people lying to themselves about what their favourite episodes are just to stick with the popular vote.

[Tyrell Corporation]

My favourite episode is still ‘Out of Time’ after all these years.

[Jonathan Capps]

> It would be really cool if you could do a proper poll?

Well, I wouldn’t argue with that but I still thought it’d be interesting to adapt our episodes poll.

[NitroChrisUK]

worst line ever … any line in friends

Hmm. Surely if it’s anonymous and secret, who would know if you put VIII first and III last.

[Carlito]

For me, it’s:

V > II > VI > III > VIII = IV > VII > I

[Tyrell Corporation]

What’s with all the Series 1 hate?

[Andrew]
