I think that maybe the chains are meant to keep the grav-pool table from moving too far away from a set location rather than to hold the table up, although that might have been their function in our real world that lacks anti-gravity technology.

I.e. imagine the table hovering without anything to tether it. Any little bump would send it flying across the room. The chains would prevent that.

That amount of chains does seem rather overcompensating, though.

On the subject of Ace (yet again for this thread), was it explained why he acts like he already knows the Dwarfers (“I told you I’d be back for breakfast” etc.) even though it’s later made clear that he’s not the same man they met in Dimension Jump?

I could check this for myself, but, you know, Stoke Me A Clipper.
I’ve often thought about this. Presumably when he jumps to a dimension he has been to before the computer gives him a run down of past adventures so he knows what a previous version of him has done.
He always says his “smoke me a kipper” line, so running into people a version of Ace has seen before makes sense for him to say “told you I’d be back for breakfast”
Also, he has likely met other versions of the crew that are similar enough that he knows their personalities.

He might even upload the predecessor’s memories, if possible. So in a sense he may well remember meeting them. This would be dependent on how much damage the predecessor’s light-bee suffered of course.

One thing I’ve often wondered: is the light bee just the holographic projector for the hologram? I.e.in earlier episodes there was a complete holosuite room that contained computer(s) that ran Rimmer. That would suggest he is simulated there and there is a live stream between there and the holo-projector (be it the light-bee or light-cage, local ship holo-projectors*, etc).

Or is the light bee a complete local computer system in itself that runs the simulation as well as projecting the hologram? Series 3 onwards would suggest this, although I suppose it’s possible Starbug, etc, had systems that ran and streamed the hologram to the light bee. That seems unlikely considering the various time jaunts that didn’t involve a craft. I.e. Tikka to Ride, Lemons, etc.

*Holo-projectors aside from the cage and bee (and that gizmo that showed Rimmer’s father’s Message in The Beginning, but that served a different purpose) aren’t mentioned, but I’m assuming that before the upgrade to light-bee, they relied on various craft and high-tech buildings holographic emitters to project Rimmer. This would explain why a cage is needed during the death day party scene as it happened outside, but he can walk around as normal on Blue Midget, Starbug and the Nova 5, etc.

[ChrisM]

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?
They upgraded his light bee in Legion. They probably gave him a recharge off-screen too.

Concerning Rimmerworld, they actually stated that the escape pod was equipped with solar batteries (or some such thing) so Rimmer’s lightbee could be charged indefinitely.

My post mysteriously vanished after I edited it, so here it is again:

I’m mainly interested in catching up with Kochanski, but that’s been mentioned already above.

I’d also like to be filled in with how the cliff-hanger at the end of series 8 was resolved, but I appreciate Doug may not be interested in telling that story. I don’t really care that the characters look too old for a back-flash story. I’d just see it as a story of their memory of events and assume the other people of the time see them how they Would have looked back then. On the other hand, I appreciate that the fact this story was left hanging was a source of gags in The Beginning, so part of me wouldn’t mind if it were just left that way.

Another story that could be picked up:
What happened to Lister’s sons with him/herself from a parallel universe.

We know from the fast moving catch up text at the start of Series 3 that they aged quickly* and were returned to their father (who is a woman) in her universe, but they have never been referred to again.

It’s not really a loose end, and I’m not fussed if they never tell the story, but it could be fuel for an interesting Lister-centric story with their reunion.

*Why would that actually happen? I know it’s something to do with different rules in different universes but it seems a peculiar outcome. A time dilation thing maybe?

I rather like them too.

Bombay Bad boys are really tasty!

I miss the soya pieces the old pot noodles used to have, though, which my young naive self actually thought was pieces of meat.

Oddly I’ve had soya since and I didn’t particularly like it, but those bits in pot noodle were small enough they could pass for meat. To my young, naive self, anyway.

[ChrisM]

I can understand people preferring Backwards to Last Human (I’m not one of them, although I liked both books) but it seems that post writer is equating preference with creativity, which is smegging annoying and just not true.

I find Last Human a much more creative novel. And I’m not just saying that because I prefer it. There is just so much more going on. Cyberia. Whole new gelf cultures. Parallels self shenanigans. Plotting and action and… it dares to be sad and poignant too. (Although there’s a bit of that in Backwards as well.)

I don’t say that to criticise Backwards though. It was a tighter novel and its realisation of a Backwards reality was far better than the episode of the same name. It was a good novel with a lot of merit, but I thought Last Human beat it where creativity is concerned.

[ChrisM]

Sim Crawford is technically still on the ship, right? (Assuming she wasn’t dumped out of an airlock between episodes.)

If she somehow got rebooted after an antivirus purge* that could lead to an interesting episode. Or a really awful episode, come to think of it.

*How or why? The lads need her for something, or simulants elsewhere, wishing revenge for the destruction of the Death Ship, etc, detect her presence and boot her up remotely…

A team up between first generation and current generation model simulants if you like.

[ChrisM]

I didn’t mind Little Britain, (the earlier series at least) but the repetitive humour got a bit much after a while.

And some stuff just came across rather nasty, later, although I think it was meant to be ironic.

[ChrisM]

I’ve written something. I’ve never written a radio sketch before and it might not be any good. I thought it quite amusing. Just more an amusing character piece rather than Gag! Bang! Gag! Bang! etc, (although there are gags) but Little Britain’s humour tends to be based on characters and their eccentricities.

I really enjoyed the experience. And I have an idea for a follow up with the same character. Whether I’ll write it and send it in with the original, I’m not sure. They allow five submissions per person, but whether that includes follow up sketches (i.e. based on the ongoing story of a particular character) I don’t know. I guess it can’t hurt. If they like the first they can use the other in a later episode.

Anyway, getting a bit ahead of myself there. I’ll read through what I’ve done and rework it if need be.

[ChrisM]

All the more amusing for a hot girl standing right nearby* while the two lads have at it. (Although she seems to be having a moment in the last picture too. Dear me.)

Anyway. Yeah. Big Brother. I confess I still watch it, or at least half watch it while I’m doing something else. I missed *that* in BBLB though. But I haven’t been watching that as much as I used to.

*Not that I’m suggesting attractive young ladies should be accosted in such a manner. Just to be clear… There are injunctions against stuff like that.

[ChrisM]

Just…. one… more?

Okay, I guess I’m being a glass-half-empty kinda guy.

So from different stance:

Great! Another episode!

[ChrisM]

>Hey I’m up for meeting people on the day, I’m going alone but have been a life long fan :)

I’ll be going alone too.

I’m too old to be a life long fan though, but it’s certainly been a significant part of my life.

[ChrisM]

>On a different note, who is entering the DJ costume comp, or is it a secret?

I shall be attending as a 3000 series Mechanoid.

It’s particularly cool as I don’t need to dress up at all. ;)

[ChrisM]

Snigger. Oh you lads! Behave!
:)

[ChrisM]

This is my first Dimension Jump too. Yep, card’d be nice for merchandise. (While I’m paid at the end of the month the cheque will likely not have cleared by the 3rd. I wish the boss would just pay this into my account directly – it’s quicker that way but he does like his cheques…)

That being said I probably won’t buy all that much.

[ChrisM]

The boosters on the Trojan are toy binoculars! Didn’t they work well?

Actually the whole design of that ship is lovely.

[ChrisM]

And I edited my post and it vanished.
Meh. I can’t be bothered repeating myself.

Just thought I’d mention it as after the edit it appeared by itself without the other posts. There might be a post lurking all alone out there.. (more or less…)

[ChrisM]

>The main problem is Arlene trying to rape Arnold. Arnold wouldn’t do that to any woman – even if he wanted to, he simply wouldn’t be capable.

Well, she was implementing a technique that he himself had supposedly used, although that was arguably a bit dodgy too. (Mind you this is also the man who apparently had his way with McGruder after she was concussed. Not that I particularly want to open THAT can of worms again.* Sometimes a joke is just a joke and shouldn’t be interpreted any other way.)

That being said, she was much more full on than he would ever be. I’d say ‘rape’ is a bit strong though. She did leave him alone when he said no. Eventually. When Lister turned up. Okay, I’m not really doing a good job of defending her case am I? :)

*Referring here to another thread which resulted in a bit of an argument. I forget if it was here or on the official site forum.

[ChrisM]

>I think I misunderstood what was being said. I thought the “London thing” was pronouncing tikka “ticka” when referring to the curry.

It was me who mentioned ‘London thing’ originally. I meant, that I live in London (well the outskirts really) and I’ve only ever heard the curry pronounced ‘teeka’, so I automatically applied that pronunciation to the episode.

I didn’t even know it was pronounced differently elsewhere until I opened this thread!

[ChrisM]

I went to see it in 2D on Christmas Eve. I liked it a lot.

I hope to catch the 3D version soon.

[ChrisM]

I’d go for a nice cup of tea. Leaf tea, not the bagged variety (although that’s not bad and will work as a stand-by).

I think baked beans have got a very strong case

I have my own recipe for baked beans. Well, not really, as I get the baked beans out of a tin. My recipe are the additives, namely:

Brown sauce to give the flavour a bit of body and
a splurge of West Indian hot pepper sauce to pep it up.

I tend to mix the sauces with the beans so the flavour spreads throughout and heat em in the microwave. (I usually add the extra sauces partway through heating when I mix the beans but it doesn’t really matter.)

It works really well. Particularly on toast with a fried egg on top.

[ChrisM]

I do remember BtE getting mixed reviews back then, although I think the overall consensus was good. The same with fans and casual viewers, although with a firmer foot in the good side.

I’m referring to actual viewers of the show here, not peoples reaction to the ad campaign, etc.

Then on seeing viewers comments on Red Dwarf X you’d have thought BtE was pretty much universally derided. Although to be fair, people with something negative to say tend to be more vocal. (If you can count typing on a website as vocal but lets not get too literal here.)

Not so much on this site, mind. Those who liked or disliked it then seem to feel the same now.

Will the same be true of X when XI comes out? I actually have my doubts on this since the positive inclination does seem overall greater than it was for the (still largely positive) response to BtE. On the other hand, I wouldn’t be all that surprised either.

[ChrisM]

I’ve always said it Tee-kah

Me too. Mainly as I pronounce the curry that way, and didn’t even know it was pronounced by many ‘ticka’. Maybe it’s a London thing.

[ChrisM]

Assuming the Steelbook doesn’t have any extra stuff I’ll likely stick with the regular release. I like the idea of that reversible cover.

[ChrisM]

Yes, we’re all blind to the faults of the I-VI. We just hate this because it’s in post Rob Grant Dwarf. That’s the only explanation.

While I largely agree with you’re point (lthough not so much the way it was expressed – no offence) I did see the odd dodgy quip in the old series which is hardly ever mentioned. Rimmer referring to Lister as a ‘rectum faced Pygmy’ for example.

We know it’s not really meant to be racist, more showcasing the unpleasantness Rimmer’s character. But I doubt very much it would go down very well if it had appeared in RDX. And it’s nastier than a food machine with a silly accent to my mind.

[ChrisM]

I never got the impression the Columbus was brought along, I assumed the transporter just transported the crew through space (and time) by way of the rod ‘connecting’ the Rimmers

The way I understand it though, the connecting is done by squidging up the fabric of space time between two locations. That’s why when functioning correctly, the ship can use it to traverse vast distances in space. So in a sense you’re right, the ship still remained where it is, but the fact that they were able to receive the signal and teleport them was due to taking advantage of the space-time shortcut the rod provided.

[ChrisM]

While I think they raise good points concerning Taiwan Tony, (I think I called him Taiwan Tim in another post. Heh), I think they’re blowing things waaaaaaay out of proportion in that Fathers and Suns thread. (On the official site I mean. While the same points are raised in the review and comments on this site, it seems altogether more restrained and positive. Mostly. )

Don’t get me wrong. I think it would be a good thing if Doug Naylor took offended fans’ reaction into account and was a bit more careful in future.

I wasn’t particularly offended by TT myself, getting the ironic joke. It’s just too silly for me to take that seriously. (It certainly didn’t spoil the rest of the episode for me. (Actually I felt more bothered by Cat’s comment that Taiwan is kinda Chinese for some reason than the actual obvious caricature of the machine itself, but that’s really highlights the idiocy of the character, much as I like him). I can see why some people were offended though, but boy did they go on in that thread…

As for the other stuff in that thread, I skipped over some posts but I got the gist with Krytie TV and Duct Soup. I have to say I disagree. Red Dwarf is not sexist, racist or homophobic. Some of the characters might be though. On rare occasions.

[ChrisM]

:-)

[ChrisM]

Or maybe Rimmer hasn’t aged. Okay he has aged to US because, well, Chris Barrie has aged, but maybe he looks the same to the other characters. Much like the two versions of Kochanski look the same to the characters.

I kinda like the idea that he ages to them as well though. I liked how they made a joke out of that in Out of Time. There’s no reason the simulation program couldn’t accommodate aging. And maybe he actually did age in the time period he was in the cell on Rimmerworld, but was periodically rebooted in a younger form when he reached the end of what would have been his human life. They happened to come across him a few years after the reboot. (Or the ageing was something the RD sim suite did, and he was no longer created by that.)

[ChrisM]

Yes, that makes sense.. I know there’s that scene in BtE where Rimmer is shot in the light bee (that sounds painful) by the Creator, but, well, that was a fantasy within a fantasy so doesn’t really count I guess. But the fact it was portrayed as a possibility made me wonder if Doug was sweeping the indestructibility thing under the carpet.

Or I’m overthinking it. This sort of thing doesn’t really bother me by the way, I just find it all part of the fun trying to tie this stuff together.

[ChrisM]

I think it was more where she shot him than the kind of weapon – I.e central torso where the light bee is located.

That being said, hardlight holograms do seem a lot less tough than they’re originally depicted in series 6 where you get the impression the hardlight drive is nearly indestructible, so you could be right. Ace Rimmer mark ??? getting killed with a bullet to the light bee for example in Stoke me a Clipper.

I’ll admit it didn’t really occur to me on viewing that the Howard and Crawford were brought through time as well as space, although that would certainly explain a few things.

If I understand Kryten’s explanation of the Quantum Rod though, it didn’t actually drag their ship through space. It rather contracts the space in between thus having the effect of bringing their ships closer.

So yeah, I guess that’s the same thing really. It’s just they haven’t actually budged from their location, it’s just a short-cut through space-time between the two locations has been created. Like a wormhole, basically.

This makes me wonder if Red Dwarf could have used it to jump to their ships location. And if the contraction affects time as well as space, that could get them back to the 23rd century.* Then again the tunnel could be very narrow, just wide enough to communicate of teleport.

*I’m not suggesting they’ll do this. I’m just speculating.

[ChrisM]

Not the heels or the toes or the sides – the SOLES of my feet

I can believe it. I noticed that very thing when I did some leaflet delivery work a couple of years back.* While the geographical distance wasn’t great, all that wandering up and down front paths took it’s toll meaning I must have covered a few miles by the end, and I just wasn’t used to it.

I was literally hobbling like an old man at the end of it. I’d take the odd sit down here and there and feel like steam was rising off the bottom of my feet.

Anyway well done. On the plus side, with rest recovery is pretty quick.

*I was unemployed and at least it earned me a bit.

[ChrisM]

I AM NOT CLICKING ON THAT LINK AT WORK
Or at home.

I just did, not paying attention to the actual text and thinking it was a link to the interview.

Dear me…

[ChrisM]

So, I picked up the latest issue of 2000AD, which seems helpfully geared towards new readers.
Is good, some nice eccentric sci-fi concepts, gorgeours artwork….it still feels a bit like I’m crashing a party that’s been running for 30 something years, especially in strips like The ABC Warriors.

It’s a good issue. I found ABC warriors weakest in that there’s a lot of chatting and not a whole lot happens, but i don’t dislike it. I love the artwork.

The new story: Brass Sun is particularly promising.

[ChrisM]

Thanks, Chris M! (I think it’s you, anyway)

You’re very welcome.

[ChrisM]

I read 2000 AD! They’re starting a new set of stories this coming week, so you could jump on there. Other than that they recently finished the Day Of Chaos mega epic in the Judge Dredd strip (I say recently it was a few weeks ago now.) It’s pretty long, but I’m sure they’ll collect it in GN at some point.

Anyhow. Yes. I watched Dredd yesterday. I agree, it was very good.A bunch of us from the 2000 AD forum went to watch it. A couple of the guys turned up in Judge outfits and posed for photos between showings to help add a bit of publicity for the film, etc. All good fun seeing kiddies reactions, etc.

[ChrisM]

I seem to remember BtE being repeated shortly after showing, but I think it was a while before it was shown again.

[ChrisM]

That’s Amy guessing he doesn’t need it. Completely different from “confirmation that he doesn’t need it”.

Yes. Although the fact Moffat wrote Amy with that line suggest he might have intended Timelord immunity as the explanation, although giving the line to her for that reason doesn’t make much sense for reasons you state. I suppose Moffat may just have given her the line to show she her esteem for the Doctor, possibly bordering idolisation, although she certainly doesn’t go silly like Rose and Martha did.

I think the Doctor would have been affected, but as the process is slow and he was near their destination when he passed on the bracelet, the nano-things had a negligible effect on him.

I thought the it was offensive to kill Daleks… but then at the first chance they get they blow the planet up anyway? What’s going on there?

I don’t think the daleks find killing the insane daleks offensive so much as they are reluctant to do so. Past episodes have show that they are willing to kill their own kind in certain circumstances. In the case of the insane daleks, I think that the daleks actually admire them in a way. They’re not just hateful creatures. They’re insane in their hatred, and the daleks, esteeming hatred as they do, applaud that, yet understand that they are a danger to them as well. So they compromise and maroon them on a prison world where they can do no damage to the great dalek empire, yet remain as exhibits of the ultimate dalek. In a way.

Of course, when the prison becomes ineffective, they are quick to overcome their reluctance. They’re not stupid.

[ChrisM]

I liked that episode a lot and I liked the new (rather saucy) character.

There were things that struck me as odd, although ‘plot hole’ would be a bit strong. They certainly didn’t ruin the episode for me:

SPOILERS AHOY!!!

1) There’s shielding on the planet that will deflect dalek weapons… yet they can beam people straight to the surface.

This might be explained easily enough by the kind of shielding. I.e. in the Star Wars films there are domelike force-shields which protect an army from energy weapons yet allow physical objects and people to pass through. (See the thing used by the Gungans in The Phantom Menace for example.)
A little explanation would have been nice though.

2) The girl’s* mention of ‘the bad news’ at the end of the episode- namely that the Doctor was about to pass through the last few most insane daleks. That in itself wasn’t strange, just the girl’s later surprise when they reactivated. If she thought they were dormant, why was she so afraid in the first place? Just their reputation?

3) Why would removing the memory of the Doctor from the Daleks’ minds have been enough to make the insane daleks ignore him? They may not have hated or feared him as much, but surely just not being dalek would be reason enough to kill him in their eye(s) particularly being right there in front of them?

This could be explained perhaps by their earlier dormancy, and the fact that it took the return of their arch enemy to wake them up. Maybe this apathy runs through their waking state too, which again makes one wonder why they were so feared.

4) Convenient teleporter on a prison planet. Right near their destination. Okay so it didn’t work right away, (and there was the shielding) but even so.

As for the twist, I guessed there was one coming (I made the mistake of reading a spoiler, but I think I would have guessed that there was a twist coming) but I didn’t forecast the full nature of the twist. I.e. I thought it would be a similar deal to what happened to her mother and the other ‘dalek puppets’.

All-in-all great stuff. I was curious to find that quite a few people on another forum I frequent found the new female character very irritating with her chirpy flirting. Personally I thought she was lovely.

As for how she and the Doctor will hook up again, well, he has a time machine right? That doesn’t really explain why she doesn’t know him, but the fact that the first stages of ‘dalekification’ affect the mind and memory could explain this.

Or maybe she actually got out somehow at the last minute and some physical alterations were later reversed. Again we don’t know the full extent of her physical changes. Would she have become one of those one eyed tentacle things or be essentially just a girl wired into a giant moving pepper pot?

Sorry, this post ended up longer than I expected.

*Her name has slipped my memory.

[ChrisM]

I doubt there will be no commentaries.

I wouldn’t be surprised if not all the cast were on them.

And I’m aware I’ve just written a couple of confusing sentences with double negatives. ;)

[ChrisM]

If every episode after BITR had been a CANARIES adventure a la Cassandra, I would have been much hapier with series VIII. Great idea poorly executed bar the one high point.

I was thinking about that when typing my post above. If it had been like that, do you think a lot of us would then be complaining that Red Dwarf VIII was too repetitive?

That was one complaint made by some viewers of Red Dwarf VI. That being said, while I can see what they mean in retrospect I liked the format of that series and it is arguably my favourite of the lot. It’s probably a good thing they changed the format a bit for series VII though. (Silly size increasing stuff aside.)

I know where you’re (Carlito) coming from. I liked the Canaries concept in series VIII and I think they should have done more with it, although probably not with every episode.

[ChrisM]

>Lister’s character simply isn’t that stupid…

He is uneducated in some ways and ignorant though. His statement shows more a lack of knowledge rather than a lack of intelligence.

Mind you knowledge and intelligence are often (possibly ironically) confused. And that Dwarf line does play on that.

I didn’t find the line particularly funny, although it didn’t bother me.

I actually don’t dislike any episodes of Red Dwarf including the later series, although I favour some episodes over others.

For a good while, Blue was probably my least favourite episode of series VII. (I am very fond of the series itself though. I probably rate it over series 1. Don’t shoot me.) I think there’s some quite amusing character interchanges in Blue. The “what’s that noise?” bit with Lister and Cat had an amusing punchline delivered by Lister. And I quite liked the Kochanski/Lister dialogue where she tries to take his mind off of his claustrophobia*, then the Cat’s disastrous attempt to do the same.

*Although I wasn’t keen on his developing the condition just for this episode.

[ChrisM]

I can see it being a factor certainly.

One of the most important roles of the audience is to provide a gage for the actors so they can see what performance and jokes work best and alter their performance accordingly. I understand there are even times when the writer or director will do on the spot changes to the script to see if something else words better, although I imagine they probably prepare a number of backup variations before hand.

With a raucous ‘up for it’ audience which laugh at everything that gage is going to be skewed.

That reminds me of when I sat in the audience in an American sitcom when on holiday over in LA years back. The comedian ‘warm up’ guy actually rebuked us (mildly to be fair) for not laughing. ‘Come on give the actors encouragement…” etc.

I did have a good time at that recording, but the honest laughs, on my part, were for the comedian’s antics between takes rather than the show itself, which I found rather boring. I can’t even remember the name of the sitcom, although that’ says more about my memory than the quality of the programme.

[ChrisM]

Ian will you be walking dressed in that li’l devil costume? There could be a few more quid in it for you…

Joking aside, a great cause. I’ll contribute come payday.

[ChrisM]

>Wait, there’s a man that goes by the name of ‘The Situation’?

Or just… Michael. ;)
I hadn’t heard of him either.

Come to think of it there were a few I didn’t know… but quite a few that I did.

Julie and Heather’s performance was actually quite impressive. And I found Julie’s “WooOOoo” exclamation nearly every time the theme tune came through her secret mission ear piece amusing.

[ChrisM]

Dear me. This bread*. Some butter shoot me in the head.

*Bread=thread. Yeah, I’ll admit that spreading the puns mighty thin.

A male model. I’m just waiting for the calendar to come out. I’ve seen pictures and everything.*

*Yes I watch BBLB. That bit was quite funny by the way.

[ChrisM]

I was at that one. First time I’ve seen the lads in the flesh. (I’ve never been to a Dimension Jump.)

[ChrisM]

Not Red Dwarf, but for years I thought they were singing ‘Cookie Street’ in the end theme tune of Only Fools and Horses. I used to wonder why a British sitcom full of working class English folk were using such an Americanism… (Mind you I always think of those biscuits with the chocolate chips as cookies.)
