This one is a real pain because of the wacky geometry of the room. Best I can do at the moment.

The focus on pathos for example assumes bubble era is full of it,
which it isn’t.

Series 1 & 2 are overflowing with it. The observation dome scenes, in partiular, make me weep, not to mention thanks for the memory. And I sitll see loads of it up to series 6.

lets no pretend Series IV is different to series II or that VI is
different to any of the previous series.

I don’t understand this comment?

That bit in Siliconia with Rimmer would be good pathos if it wasn’t pointlessly undermined by Cat

I feel like somebody once told him “hey, Cat doesn’t get many lines”, and ever since he’s been giving Cat way too many lines.

I love that gif!

Yes. It’s all a work in progress. If the worst criticism is one tiny bit of text in a whole image full of other text, that you can only make out by zooming in, I think I’m doing pretty well.

Considering he’s been filmed on video tape, then played on a small CRT, in a dark corner, while moving, I’d say it’s a pretty good likeness.

Do you really not enjoy anything after Series VI (Stoke Me A Clipper aside)?


Bits of it. I only watched series 8 to 10 one time and never again, as it left such a bad taste in my mouth. I just lost all faith in anything written solely by Doug. I remember some episode ideas from the Dave era that had real potential, but just when I thought I was enjoying it there would be some cringe dialogue that would break the spell, or the story would take some eye-roll turn. Oh, they’re going to meet Adoph Hitler *again*?? Yawnarama.
Still, it’s nice to be on a forum where I don’t get downvoted into a black hole for not liking reboot-era RD.

Doug can’t write Red Dwarf, not without Rob. He doesn’t understand the characters; he writes them as charicatures. He doesn’t understand the atmopshere; he writes it like pantomime. He can’t do pathos, he doesn’t even try. He can’t do dialogue; his gags read like RD fan fiction and he is obsessed with toilet humour and rape jokes. The only good episode after series 6 was Stoke Me a Clipper, and I’m only giving that a B+. [/unpopular opinion]

Not according to space corps directive 3512/C it isn’t.
