Chris was also a bit heavier during this time, so that also could account for the “chubbiness”.

[Blisschick]

This sorely sucketh. >angry face<

[Blisschick]

I’m so jealous.

[Blisschick]

Well, poo. Here I have been trying to distract myself by doing something useful all day until showtime, only to find that I’ve wasted the energy that I was going to use to do nothing. I feel robbed, but on the other hand, my bathroom is sparkling.

The last time I saw Dean Stockwell in anything was NCIS: New Orleans (with Scott Bakula) in 2014, and apart from the fact that he was 79 then, he didn’t look too healthy. I was kind of shocked at how sickly he looked. :(

[Blisschick]

I haven’t checked lately, but it was on Netflix here in the US for awhile. I’ve never rewatched any of it simply for the fact that they didn’t include the pilot episode, and a couple ofl key episodes of the first season. If you had never seen it before, it wouldn’t make any sense. I was kind of torqued about that, being really enthused about seeing episodes I hadn’t watched since it first aired.

…I peeked in, and it appears that they’re all there now. Good, now I have something to watch. I’m in a serious Show Hole right now.

I grew up knowing it was a rude slang word for a little girl’s anatomy. I had adult women in my family refer to it as “twat” and breasts as “titties” at a young age. Oddly, that seemed to stop altogether by the time I was an adolescent. I don’t know if it was because they didn’t think the usage would matter around little kids, or if it was some kind of culture shift. Use of the words nowadays is considered crude and vulgar in general. What I think is odd is how the word fanny is considered a cute, polite way of referring to a woman’s butt here, but it’s a big no-no on the other side of the pond and Australia.

[Blisschick]

Aw. Okay, I’ll just read it that way. For you.

[Blisschick]

Wow, I forgot about this thread while digging around for another one. (We talk about a lot of…stuff…here. Yeah. Finding stuff in the forums is interesting when you can’t remember exactly what to search for. :P )

Well, obviously, that trip never happened, but my bestie is looking to ditch her worthless cheating husband, is looking at coming into some money apart from her divorce, and has told me that as her gift to me, she’s getting my passport. She wants to redo a trip she took with his family to Germany (visualize taking the Clampetts to Neuschwanstein Castle, and the MIL complaining about the lack of handicap ramps, and citing the Americans With Disabilities Act…they were that clueless and horrible) so she can get the bitter taste out of her mouth, but we also are planning England still, and maybe France and/or Scotland/Ireland. I’m hoping (fingers crossed) that we can plan our trip to coincide with this DJ, since we didn’t make the last one. I know circumstances for some of you have changed since then, but I would still very much like to connect with a few of you should we make it there!

One night drinking wine, I came upon a thread
That I had forgotten and now seemed dead.
I drank a little more,
And realized that before
I should have had more in my head.

(Okay, so it’s a horrible limerick. I’ve had a bottle and don’t care. Cheers. Now revive this thread. Some of you were good at this.)

[Blisschick]

Lovely! It ties a lot of things up nicely. I vote to make this the “Official Explanation”.

[Blisschick]

Bald and naked Rimmer and Lister. Well now.

[Blisschick]

Obviously, American TV must be absolute shit then because I end up watching more stuff made by the BBC than I do by any of our major networks over here. But then, I’m probably not saying anything anyone doesn’t already know.

[Blisschick]

I can’t tell you just how awesome that really is. My day is made.

[Blisschick]

I really like the slickness of McAleeCh’s logos, and applaud Si’s concept of a RD/DW-ish logo, but truly, I love Pete’s design the best. It makes me feel all warmish.

[Blisschick]

I actually saw the Remastered versions way before I saw the originals, and I instantly hated the Remastered afterward. Not only were the sound effects stupid and distracting, once I found out what scenes had been cut and I realized how horribly some of them had been done, I was kind of mad about it. Most of what was changed had been fine in my opinion, so I have never really understood the logic behind most of what was done.

[Blisschick]

The crew is still heading back to earth. Then some things happen and everything works itself out.

[Blisschick]

^^Agreed. If Dave had been trying to commission more episodes way back in 2009 and everyone finally managed to get their ducks in a row to finally accomplish two more series, then I don’t see why there couldn’t or wouldn’t be a RD XVIII…unless someone had an aversion to the number 13 or Doug decides to finalize everything at the end of XVII. (If he did, I’d be heartbroken, but reality says it’s gotta end somewhere sometime.)

[Blisschick]

It’s still on my bucket list. After a horrible year of failed jobs and just scraping by, there was no way to save for us, either. We’re in a much better place now, and I pointed out to my husband that we need to go next year or at least once in the future. He didn’t say no. He also could have been humoring me…but maybe not…

[Blisschick]

Is it “fish”?

You’ll have to yell louder! My eyes are closed and I can’t hear you!

[Blisschick]

I don’t recall him saying anything about forgetting his lines, but he did say he was trying not to laugh during the “Now, something, something, something” speech.

[Blisschick]

Link? I can’t find it. :(

[Blisschick]

I vaguely remember this being on Sci Fi when I did not have access to cable (back when the wheel was on the drawing table). I’m glad you mentioned this. I need to look into it.

[Blisschick]

Guess you’re not gonna be eating that hobo. I was looking forward to reading your review on serving suggestions.

[Blisschick]

Genius.

[Blisschick]

No, you’re not missing anything. The scene was deleted from a certain version of it, to the point that you wouldn’t even know it was there if you hadn’t seen the uncut version.

[Blisschick]

>>Then again… I also checked LOST and it was correct about what the worst episode of that is.

I vote it was the last one. I’m still pissed. No, I won’t get over it, either. So. There.

[Blisschick]

It’s fairly evident by the comments no one has a clue as Jason said.

On the other hand, Chris is such a goof. It’s cool he was game for this. Funny! :)

[Blisschick]

As I recall, the Netflix version didn’t have the white card/black card scene in it, but the DVD does. I can’t remember if mine are the remastered version (hubby took off with them to the new flat), but I think they are.

[Blisschick]

I had totally forgotten about the Superbowl Shuffle. One more piece of my teen years that I have managed to block out/forget, probably due to large amounts of alcohol and/or lack of sleep.

[Blisschick]

*waving hi from the back of the room*

[Blisschick]

Science fiction…it’s all bollocks, isn’t it?

[Blisschick]

I’ve tried to watch Hyperdrive, but I just couldn’t seem to get into it. I was kind of bored by it.

[Blisschick]

I wish there was a like button for Phil’s comment.

[Blisschick]

I want to play Kochanski. Because I totally fit the part. Totally.

Stop laughing!

[Blisschick]

There, that’s more like it.

[Blisschick]

Just joking, Claire. Actually, I’d believe it from Richard before anyone else. Unofficially, of course.

[Blisschick]

I don’t consider this a reliable source. I must hear it from Robert or Craig first, then listen to the denials fly. Then, and only then, will I know that it might not be happening or possibly has will possibly happened. Or something like that.

[Blisschick]

I saw the trailer awhile back and thought I wanted to see it. It looks like it could be entertaining.

[Blisschick]

Oh hell, I had to watch this right before going to bed. I. Have. No. Words.

[Blisschick]

Yes, AA sucks. My husband can add to your list of horror stories.

[Blisschick]

I’ll be moving to Austin in about a year (hubby just got a job there), and there’s a ton of Indian restaurants. That was a very pleasant surprise. NOM.

[Blisschick]

It did the same thing to me awhile back -both with the image and the gazillion messages.

[Blisschick]

Believe it or not, Indian food isn’t something that you readily find on the shelves here, at least in our part of the US. Like Pete, you mostly find Mexican or Tex-Mex, followed by various Asian things. If you want to eat Indian, mostly you have to find a restaurant, and then it has to be a *good* restaurant.

Honestly, the best curry I’ve had so far is at a Thai restaurant not far from my college. I could drink that yellow curry sauce with a straw.

[Blisschick]

Totally bummed that I missed out on this! Too many people there I would’ve loved to have autographs from.

My daughter really loves V, but I got bored with it pretty quickly. I’ve tried to watch it twice now, and just gave up on it. I don’t know exactly why, but it just didn’t grip me. I guess I agree with Seb in that it’s missing the point, and also that it feels like a rip off of Phantom of the Opera in a sense. Maybe I’d get more out of it with the graphic novel.

I’m very intrigued by the sound of Daytripper and Terra. I’ll have to look into those. I haven’t bought a really good book in awhile.

[Blisschick]

Mabel, that video is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[Blisschick]

A better link…I think.
