So, did anyone here go to the Con? Any news

[Bezzy]

In Psirens Rimmers light bee is on battery backup but by Rimmerworld it survives at least 600 years …

While in Promised land it indicates that light bees can be charged with an AC like socket . If that’s the case why is it a worry when Lister is going through the list of Starbug issues due to them losing the Dwarf?

[Bezzy]

Awesome! Although I would love it if Doug or Rob would write a new one :)

[Bezzy]

Yeah as I said my only thoughts are that the cage was only needed if it was outside on a planet.

In Kryten they use the Blue Midget, which Holly is in (maybe to sustain Rimmer).
I’m guessing the Midget connects to the Nova rather than the boys hopping over from ship to ship. Then Holly projects Rimmer across to the Nova 5 or something .

[Bezzy]

My only guess is that the projection cage was used solely for ‘outside’ jaunts . Holly must have projected him from the Blue Midget into the Nova 5.

[Bezzy]

Was it ever explained how Rimmer went from a Hologram Projection Cage to a portable Light bee?

My head canon would say Holly just was looking into ways to make it easier for Rimmer to travel outside the ship.

[Bezzy]

It’s great to read he’s still massively fond of the Series

[Bezzy]

Holly to return. They could very easily make a story that could include both Norman and Hattie. Even switch between them. Say a Ratchet Droid or someone manages to restore Holly’s mainframe but cannot completely restore its visual projection protocols so Holly can appear as either Norman or Hattie. Or both on screen as an old married couple or something..

The lighting just needs to be less blue. The AA advert had it right.

Maybe some plot hole tie ups thrown in.

[Bezzy]

I still believe Doug intends to end Red Dwarf completely with either a movie or a feature length episode.

XIII … maybe a XIV and end with a feature length XV

:) I can dream

[Bezzy]

What happened to Snacky?

[Bezzy]

What is Listers goal these days? His plan was to return to Earth but is it still his goal?
Or is Lister on the hunt for Kochanski these days? It’s not really specified anywhere.

[Bezzy]

SPLIT

The Crew encounter a Ratchet Droid who finds a way to fix Holly. (Holly becomes regular member again). However, Holly’s Core Program has been corrupted and broken for so long that he has a head split personality (So both Norman and Hattie can appear anytime or act like a bickering couple) :)

[Bezzy]

KOCHANSKI

the crew continue the search for Kochanski, they find a crashed Blue Midget. The original model version (the fix the continuity) and the last of its type.
Ends up becoming a variant of the pleasure GELF that tries to trap the crew through memories

[Bezzy]

Rip Paul, I really liked him when I first joined up years ago. His RD books are amazing, I hoped he would add a bonus book or two in the future that included the new series etc. Will be sadly missed :(

[Bezzy]

Can’t wait for Samsara update!

[Bezzy]

I thought it was brilliant. The sets were gorgeous, the lighting felt like the old days . Other than a few continuity knocks I’d rate it very high.

[Bezzy]

In looking forward to the Samsara update. I think I’ve played the other missions to death :)

[Bezzy]

Can’t wait for Samsara update. I think I’ve played this episode to death!
Back at no1 (on iPhone) :) only just mind

[Bezzy]

Can’t wait to see the reversible cover! I wonder if it will be blue like the science room?

[Bezzy]

Im currently 2nd on the iPhone leaderboard :) pleased with that. Although did want to be the first to hit the 100,000 space point barrier

[Bezzy]

So I’ve added the patch and I’ve lost space miles :( I was at 91,406 and now I’m down to 84,000 :(

[Bezzy]

That’s a region 1 cover from what I see at the bottom.

[Bezzy]

Haha I like that idea Jumbo.
I like the Cat idea. Other than Lister, Cat has been in every single episode so I’m quite looking forward to the Cat episode. He finally gets one.

[Bezzy]

It puts you 22nd on the iPhone leaderboards :) nice!!

[Bezzy]

On the main startup screen (with RD ) in the top left corner there should be a blue button that displays the leaderboard.

[Bezzy]

I’m Currently 2nd on the (iPhone) leaderboard. Probably won’t last…

For G&T!!!!

[Bezzy]

I have 3 : the Exponoid helmet, the toaster and the Pram :)

[Bezzy]

At least in the game it shows them actually going home ;)

I’m loving the game. Been trying to up my scores. The multiplier you get as you level up Red Dwarf helps :)

[Bezzy]

That would be about right as the Dave shows end at the end of October then time to add all the goodies on the disc.

I hope there will be interactive menus, a swappable cover to match the others and possibly commentaries. As well as Making Ofs and Smeg ups etc. We’ve been so spoilt before

[Bezzy]

Thank you for joining up Ian. From the reviews I’ve seen on the App Store people have just played maybe the first part, assumed it’s all like that and left it. I’ve given a good review and I’m still playing it (trying to get better scores and upping my space miles) . Looking forward to all the added extras and improvements.

[Bezzy]

The update hasn’t changed much , other than in the car episode there are more Expanoids and less wondering civilians , bumping into barrels doesn’t hurt health as much as it did.

[Bezzy]

That’s great! I love their apology for the ‘wellcome’ lol

[Bezzy]

The driving levels are terrible. I like that it’s a variety of minigames and looking forward to what the others bring but the controls are horrid. I liked the look of the Starbug cockpit controls though.

[Bezzy]

I like that the game starts before the episode. Where you find the attack ship. There’s a few additional writing parts there. Dunno if those parts are written by Doug or not.

[Bezzy]

The car level needs health pickups

[Bezzy]

The car levels controls are horrid :( also feels like the level is never ending

[Bezzy]

I’m quite enjoying it. It’s a bit fiddly and the controls on some of the parts are strange, but theres a lot of variety.

[Bezzy]

I have a feeling It was a requirement from UKTV . At least it was for RDX

[Bezzy]

But to be fair to BTE there wasn’t enough content dynamic enough to make the titles.

[Bezzy]

I like how the titles always start with the ships (ship blowing up in VIII and location Shot in BTE slight exceptions) .
I’m guessing the Starbug leaving the planet and a shot of RD will kick of the lovely montage of crazy happenings to keep us guessing which episode they are in)

Ending in the Newey-Oldey logo :)

[Bezzy]

aah yeaz i luved that show when that H bloke was in a dress

[Bezzy]

I love Bottom but im glad it isnt coming back. This world has become far too PC to appreciate its british humour these days and if all that was taken out it wouldnt be as funny.

[Bezzy]

you would think everyone on the TOS were non dwarf fans, so bloody picky and sensitive! im suprised they havent gone through all the dwarfs and picked out everything to moan about!

next they will be going OMG!! Rimmer in Confidence and Paranoia called Lister a monkey!

you watch, next week will be long religion based upsets..

[Bezzy]

It was too much of a tease last week showing Starbug but not a cockpit scene :(
Im guessing by the titles though that the Midget takes the spotlight this series.. a shame really.

[Bezzy]

Or lightbee stress? :)

[Bezzy]

As for Kryten, i can only assume he is almost burnt out.. ;) lol

[Bezzy]

Its like the Simulant talking about an uprising. As she and the Columbus 3 are from the past this was probably way before many of the Simulants turned rogue.
As for rimmers hologram aging.. well since he didnt age in ‘Rimmerworld’ where he was stuck for hundreds of years on the planet. I speculated that maybe Rimmer got rebooted at somepoint and as Lister proabably didnt want to be the only one growing old on the ship (with the exception of Cat) Holly – or the ships computer probably reconfigured his lightbee.

[Bezzy]

I loved the Bug set from VI and VII (i even loved the VI/ VII dvd menu on the bug too! )

[Bezzy]

Yeah i know what you mean . Looking at the opening credits it seems to be mostly the Midget so i guess that is the main transport vehicle this series.. its a bummer since i love Starbug. then again it has had the majority of the Series, so the Midget needs its moment :)

[Bezzy]

it looks a lot more confined.. but very pretty too! kinda has that busy ‘II’ look with all the monitors buzzing around. im guessing either they have moved home to another part of the ship or just has a big rennovation in the years prior.

no starbug cockpit though :(
