I think series 1 and 2 are discounted for me because, whilst I liked there being character development, it was still in its infancy and doesn’t hold up as well, and the set and costumes look very dull to me. Series 7 and 8 are rather disjointed too, as well as being asbent of Rob Grant. Web Designing Training in Chennai Series 3 and 4 contain some classic early Dwarf, but series 5 is where, I think, the show really reached its good point. Quarantine is easily great for some brilliant Rimmer madness, and Back to Reality stands out as a wonderful episode for both character development and good sci-fi. Web Designing Training in Chennai However, series-wise, I vote for series 6, because it’s the only one to have a proper story arc, namely finding Red Dwarf itself. Granted, we lose Holly, but the character became quite redundant with Kryten doing a lot of plot exposition, and the closeness of Starbug compared to the vastness of Red Dwarf re-instated the claustrophobic feel that captured the “trapped” nature that the show originally went for. The problems with the series, however, can’t be ignored – more repeats of Space Corps Directives, Cat’s “deader than…” jokes and less character development in favour of more sci-fi. But then I like sci-fi, so I didn’t mind too much after having delved into the characters’ past for 5 series already. And the repetitive nature made it appealing to me. Admittedly, too, it was nice to see Ace Rimmer and Duane Dibbley in the same episode, even if it was shoehorning both in to satisfy fans. And that ending is truly epic. PHP Training in Chennai I have to say, though, while every fan can imagine a perfect episode, I still imagine a perfect series of six episodes. I’d probably have one episode dedicated to each main character, albeit with sci-fi being an integral part. Yes, not original, or detailed, but if anyone wants to write a Red Dwarf IX or X with me, I’d only be glad to oblige. I have some good ideas for a Holly episode, and a good first one and last one too! Author Replies Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total)
