CONFIDENCE AND PARANOIA PART TWO:

Lister hallucinates a dinosaur then hallucinates it shitting everywhere.

[flanl3]

STALINMORPH:

A polymorph gets mistakenly stuck in the form of our good old pal Joey.

[flanl3]

TWONTICA: TWENTICA II:

While playing pool, one of the balls flies off the table and hits the casket of Chronos, sending the boys back in time to Lister’s GELF wedding, where they all eat curry and shit everywhere.

[flanl3]

SAMSARAWHO:

The boys discover a wrecked ship with anxiety, depression, and a modeling portfolio. The episode is three hours long and audio-only, with the ending twist being that it didn’t really happen.

[flanl3]

Skipper – Rimmer gets annoyed at Lister for fucking a rat.

[flanl3]

Mechocracy: All the machines on board Red Dwarf get annoyed, except all the ones we already knew existed.

[flanl3]

Timewave: The boys consider letting themselves and a whole shipful of people die just because they are annoyed by a gay man.

[flanl3]

TONK RATS

It’s literally just “Star Knot” backwards but yet mildly more fitting of a title for the episode. Can we please call the race of alternate rats Tonk Rats? Please?

[flanl3]

Back to Earth Part One seems important to understanding the massive reaction to Holly (and why he’s not there the rest of the time)

[flanl3]

Fear not, Red Dwarf fans – comedy’s favourite space hoppers ARE on course for another series of the intergalactic comedy.

Oh, thank god. Now I don’t have to be afraid of that, I can go back to my normal worst fear of elevator accidents.

[flanl3]

I do know that Fathers and Suns would be necessary, as well as the fact that pretry much every episode has a The End reference. Also, every single episode shown in the smear ads.

[flanl3]

I am wondering this same thing about XII. Which episodes would you need to watch to understand all the specific references from XII?

[flanl3]

This still bothers me.

[flanl3]

I made the mistake of clicking on this thread and it popping up with the Lister’s penis joke from Bodyswap banner was at the top of the page.

[flanl3]

NARRATOR: They would, in fact, not end up shutting up.

[flanl3]

Well, except for X.

[flanl3]

In the US, we never got reversible covers on the new ones, but at least as consolation we don’t have to have that ugly straight-up-and-down massive season number on the side.

[flanl3]

When I asked somebody else, they compared it to being a Catholic then calling someone “Madonna” as an insult/compliment in reference to the sex music star.

[flanl3]

SOCK TO PEALINT:
Lister discovers that the lint on one of his socks contains the pea from Queeg.

[flanl3]

a set or sequence of related television or radio programmes.

Looking two lines later in this google definition lists “program” and “show” as synonyms, so this definition quite literally does refer to a whole show, not a British season equivalent.

Seeing as I don’t think this is getting resolved unless Doug himself speaks on it, I do have an interesting other question: what would we be fighting about if the first series after BtE had been entitled series IX?

[flanl3]

Is it really series IX? Apart from the fact that it’s not, it’s not really even a series. If somebody asks me about the seasons of BoJack Horseman, I’m not going to go “Well there was season 1, the second season which was the Horsin’ Around credits, then season 3 which was the Christmas special, then the fourth season which they called season 2 and the fifth which they called season 3, then finally the sixth season which they called season 4.”

Not everything has to be a season, and I am permanently annoyed with whomever designed that French cover.

[flanl3]

THE BENDS:

The crew of submarine Red Dwarf all die from complications after they all go diving together, except Lister because he was being punished. Meanwhile, Kryten and Cat make some nachos.

[flanl3]

You have a shelf of Red Dwarf DVDs that go I II III IV V VI VII VIII X XI? You are sick.

You like a show that goes I II III IV V VI VII VIII X XI XII? That is sick.

[flanl3]

Ah, I see.

[flanl3]

We’re aiming for a release very soon, so I’ll keep you posted!

I am attempting to convey my excitement without sounding sarcastic but this is like my fourth time rewriting this post for that purpose so I suppose I’ll just say that I am excited and that is not sarcastic.

Yikes, that didn’t work either.

[flanl3]

What if all 1,169 people on Red Dwarf, as well as Holly, Frankenstein, and Kryten had all been Irene E?

Could a lot of the tension between people in The End be explained by the stress of George’s death?

Why does Cat use “Frankenstein” as an insult in Quarantine?

What if they had gone to deep space in the twelfth century instead of the fifteenth?

If Red Dwarf barely has the power to run two holograms, wouldn’t it take a damn lot of eneto run an entire Holoship?

Wait, whoops, some of those were serious questions.

[flanl3]

THE END:

Plenty of ladies die.

CONFIDENCE AND PARANOIA:

Lister wants to bring back a dead lady.

BETTER THAN LIFE:

A dead lady reads the news.

PARALLEL UNIVERSE:

A crazy dead lady tries to seduce Rimmer, but instead ends up weirding him out.

POLYMORPH:

Something pretends to be a crazy dead lady and seduces Lister.

CAMILLE:

HOLOSHIP:

A crazy dead lady seduces Rimmer.

PSIRENS:

Something pretends to be a crazy dead lady to seduce Lister and crush Kryten.

EMOHAWK: POLYMORPH II:

Lister won’t have sex with a crazy lady so her dad sends his pet after him for revenge.

RIMMERWORLD:

It’s a lady, I think, but with Chris Barrie’s face.

OUROBOROS:

Remember that crazy lady Lister didn’t want to have sex with? Apparently she really wanted that sex, so much so that she tore the fabric of reality apart over it. Also, a dead lady is no longer dead.

BLUE:

Lister wishes he could seduce a crazy dead man.

BEYOND A JOKE:

Kryten cries because he hates a crazy dead lady and also a less crazy less dead one.

EPIDEME:

A crazy dead lady gets Lister sick.

BACK IN THE RED PART ONE:

Numerous dead ladies, some presumably crazy since that’s how VIII works, are no longer dead.

PETE PART TWO:

Nobody ever asked the dinosaur, so this episode could very well belong.

BACK TO EARTH PART TWO:

Rimmer kills a crazy dead lady.

BACK TO EARTH PART THREE:

Turns out that this crazy dead lady was fake. Surprise!

ENTANGLED:

A crazy lady dies.

SAMSARA:

A crazy lady and her lover program themselves to death.

OFFICER RIMMER:

A presumably crazy presumably dead lady says “gosh”.

CAN OF WORMS:

Something pretends to be a crazy lady to seduce Cat.

TIMEWAVE:

A crazy lady flops on a telephone because she is sad and that’s how you dial a telephone.

Just as a few examples.

[flanl3]

That is entirely fair and about what I supposed, but I hope you understand how I (and others) arrived at such a point.

[flanl3]

I will throw my hat in the ring and point out that I was both appalled by Bexley Health’s comments and felt like the gay UK review only being included for Timewave seemed a bit too close to just trying to excuse its homophobia. Please listen to me, I am right.

[flanl3]

They must have thought the game was done after Twentica and deleted it.

[flanl3]

Supposedly it’s not in the format of the XI game? Otherwise, I look forward to the minigames on the Enconium where it lets you advance with a perfect score no matter how you do.

[flanl3]

30 minutes of extras will be a feature entitled “more entertaining than Timewave” and will be half an hour of all sorts of incredibly entertaining things like Craig squawking around at the end of Quarantine, the entire cast saying that people didn’t like Back to Earth because they didn’t have laughs, and the scene where Hollister explains Pete’s full meal and what happened next stretched out to take seven minutes.

[flanl3]

Would Trojan really benefit from a weak subplot about faking dyslexia? Would Marooned really benefit from that scene of them all playing poker in the beginning? Et cetera.

if done right.

[flanl3]

I rewatched Quarantine recently. It’s got loads of the problems we mock newer episodes for. Even “telekinewhatinesis?” reminded me of some of the problems with “spit on her wrist”, but clearly not all of them.

[flanl3]

This would work really well if done right. Nearly every episode could benefit from ~10 minutes expansion on the story, some jokes, and most of all any real ending.

[flanl3]

All 50 extra minutes are just one shot in the documentary where Doug Naylor is adding as many words as he can to an insult about millennials.

[flanl3]

KRYTEN

The crew take in a bit of a dumb droid after obsessing over some dead women and pretend to care about him before they stop caring about him once he fucks off on a year-long bike ride when suddenly they start caring about him again because he died but then he is undied by Lister, who can apparently repair mechanoids from being shattered now, except he can’t even put a DIY android together just a few months later when they really care about this mechanoid.

[flanl3]

SNIPPER:

Rimmer gets a hold of a copy of Snipperclips and plays it because life on Red Dwarf is boring.

[flanl3]

50 extra minutes approximately accounts for all the deleted scenes from Cured.

[flanl3]

TIPPER:

Rimmer is a twat and keeps leaving just 3%.

[flanl3]

Why did you combine your opinion into four separate posts though?

[flanl3]

THE MIDDLE:

A family with three children – Axle Rimmer, Krysue, and Dave Brickster – has a funny life in the middle of the mining ship Heck Dwarf. This episode will only ever be shown on airplanes.

[flanl3]

Hopefully Skipper will be better than M-Corp.

That would be fantastic.

[flanl3]

JAWS PART TWO:

Red Dwarf starts in 1997 instead of 1987.

[flanl3]

BACK TO DARTH:

The Dwarfers discover an alternate universe where Anakin Skywalker did not die at the end of Star Wars and a major plotline in Star Wars VII was him trying to resist returning to the dark side.

[flanl3]

BEET PART TWO:

A dinosaur eats some beets and shits purple everywhere.

[flanl3]

CRIMETIDES:

Sequel to Crimewave.

[flanl3]

Phasellus ac mi eget nulla dictum molestie.

Well that sentence was a wild ride.

[flanl3]

What if the Enconium had come from 1997 instead of 1987?

[flanl3]

What if Series I had been broadcast on a different day of the week?
