It wasn’t a joke though.

[gerrydelasel]

My version would be good

[gerrydelasel]

Gives me an idea for an episode where Lister is alone and has to reboot Rimmer, and decides to start messing with the combinations of traits he wants to upload into him. But every combination ends up being harder to live with than the original.

[gerrydelasel]

Marge, they’re just synonyms, okay.

[gerrydelasel]

I could, but I wouldn’t, because it’s a poor argument.

[gerrydelasel]

I like Emohawk, it only bothers me that it steals Rimmer’s snidiness and Cat’s vanity for no particular reason. They’re not in a heightened state like in Polymorpth. It could have picked any random emotion but, surprise, surprise, it picks those. Just a bit lazy.

Rimmer could at least just ask Holly to make him shit.

I was googling cockney rhyming slang when

They appear to be generic school prefect badges, but who knows

[gerrydelasel]

The image of Rimmer on My Incredible Career is obvious a frame from Me2. They airbrushed out the hologram H but, curiously, also went to the trouble to airbrush out the badges on his collar?

During the week they’re still painting the ship military gray. It’s a big ship.

[gerrydelasel]

The OP seems to be inviting offers rather than giving us an asking price, so bid away!

[gerrydelasel]

The text on the back is latin, which roughly translates to:

Cool! It’s from Cicero’s De Finibus, the same book where ‘lorem ipsum’ filler text comes from.

I’m so glad everyone liked the photographs, question now is, does anyone want to buy it?

[gerrydelasel]

Sorry, I thought you meant the ball girl line

[gerrydelasel]

[gerrydelasel]

Honestly, that line has always confused me.

How so?

[gerrydelasel]

He wants to have it off with that jailbait ball girl.

[gerrydelasel]

I never noticed before that on Sunday afternoon Rimmer goes to a service, implying church, right?

[gerrydelasel]

Nope, he’s not his dad.

[gerrydelasel]

I always assumed this was a reference to a specific movie but I don’t know which. I guess it’s Alien-esque but is it a direct quote from somewhere?

[gerrydelasel]

That made me snort out loud

[gerrydelasel]

*chuckle guffaw giggle*

Anyway I just noticed in this scene Lister’s t-shirt appears to be cut away into a kind of bib, I’m guessing it was hot under those studio lights?

[gerrydelasel]

[gerrydelasel]

Sorry, that was mean of me. It’s better than a lot of Dave era stuff, but that’s a low bar

[gerrydelasel]

A gem made of dung

[gerrydelasel]

[gerrydelasel]

I didn’t even know Promised Land was a film when I saw people mention it on t’internet, I kept thinking it was a book or something. Finally watched it a couple of weeks ago. I was underwhelmed. 
And wtf was the sacred stone all about? It does nothing to propel the plot, no one knows what it does, and no one cares that it is made from dung. Is it a reference to something?

[gerrydelasel]

In BtE we’re supposed to believe Blade Runner was the inspiration for Red Dwarf, which is obviously more Doug revisionist nonsense. We all know 2001 A Space Odyssey was the inspiration, but it wasn’t until I watched 2001 last night that I really appreciated how many references are hidden in Red Dwarf. Here’s my pointless list:

The opening music, obviously;
A human(oid) species evolving from an animal;
The disinterested voice of HAL and the disinterested voice of HOL(ly);
A ship is on a mission to Jupiter but everyone on board is killed except for one man;
That one man has some special significance for the origin of the universe/human race;
The full name of the computer is HAL 9000;

The shape of Red Dwarf;

The shape of Starbug;

Suspended animation;

Silver spacesuits and the monolith;

The appearance of the officers’ quarters;

News readers in space;

[gerrydelasel]

I never noticed Chekhov’s gun there!

I absolutely do not believe you.

[gerrydelasel]

You mean make your own bootleg? Print on demand is pretty cheap yeah, I use it all the time. Best guess £20-ish.

[gerrydelasel]

[gerrydelasel]

Where can I read the PDF scans?

[gerrydelasel]

Completing the set

[gerrydelasel]

Agreed

[gerrydelasel]

Wait a minute

[gerrydelasel]

[gerrydelasel]

that potato virus music in Pete Part 1, it’s just awful.

I haven’t watched Pete since the day it came out and I refused to watch it ever again. Until today, to see what you guys were talking about. I guess you’re talking about the Cotton Eye Joe harmonica tribute music? I… don’t hate it… it’s only 4691 on the list of things wrong with that episode, but it sure doesn’t belong in Dwarf. 

[gerrydelasel]

Why does Rimmer keep doing this every time he talks about Yvonne McGruder? Is it some British sex thing?

To answer your question, yes it is a classic gesture meaning sex or phwoar!

[gerrydelasel]

This is the drive plate, see how shoddy it is?

[gerrydelasel]

[gerrydelasel]

Sometimes the current streaming site I’m using will disappear

Flixbaba.is has been up for a few years now with no issure, fyi. I use it to watch Red Dwarf when I can’t be arsed to get the DVDs out

[gerrydelasel]

If you have a VPN and ad blocker I don’t think pirating film/TV is dangerous. You just stream videos from a website, no different from watching a video on YouTube. But I don’t torrent so I don’t know about that side of things.

[gerrydelasel]

I think Chris was a better actor than Craig in series 1-6, maybe 7, but went downhill on his return.

[gerrydelasel]

so my hope someone smart solves this and makes it ridiculously easy for people to backup their copies and store them.

Piracy means most TV shows are already available online for free and it only takes one click to download (not necessarily in HD, but meh). 

[gerrydelasel]

If you can’t play DVDs anymore, download the episodes from wherever and keep them on your hard drive.
