[Nakrophile]

Yeah, Hattie.

[Nakrophile]

I have no idea what happened to my Sonic the Comic’s. I had quite a lot of them, and I know I wouldn’t have thrown them away because Sonic is an amazing person.

[Nakrophile]

Befuddlement occurs.

[Nakrophile]

It’s the fact that there is a laugh in a bit that is laugh free in the other ten times that sequence is shown that really… befuddles me. Obviously it is just a mistake, but…

[Nakrophile]

So Buffy was no. 4? Fucking hell, it’s just a bit of guitar isn’t it (assuming this poll included the ending theme for Dwarf, to avoid being a hypocrite which I clearly am not)?

Mind you I haven’t seen Buffy for years so it may be quite good.

[Nakrophile]

Mmm. :( RIP, good sir.

[Nakrophile]

Speaking of laughter tracks, that laugh in Holly’s intro to Rimmer (the one at the start of I and II) in either Waiting for God or Confidence and Paranoia always befuddled me. I can’t remember if it’s in the original, remastered or both, but it always befuddled me.

[Nakrophile]

Don’t be stupid.

Jeremy Clarkson.

[Nakrophile]

I’m still sticking that it’s from BtR, and if I need to say that the nanobots recreated the squid that that’s precisely what I’m going to do.

[Nakrophile]

I: Future Echoes
II: Thanks for the Memory
III: Marooned
IV: Dimension Jump
V: The Inuisitor
VI: Out of Time
VII: Tikka
VIII: Cassandra
BtE: part 2 I guess, although I doubt I’ll even think of it as a trilogy when the DVD arrives.

[Nakrophile]

I can’t believe this is still being discussed. It’s not obvious (well actually it is for me, but I guess it isn’t implicitly stated) that it’s the same ocean from BtR, but it’s pretty welcome to that kind of assumption.

[Nakrophile]

> It?s better than Moonraker!

There is not much in this world that is better than Moonraker.

[Nakrophile]

That black and moustache one is about as good as life gets.

[Nakrophile]

Haha sorry.

[Nakrophile]

So it was ‘homo?’ Not ‘dick fucker,’ ‘cunt shite,’ ‘bitch whore’ or ‘rape face?’

Disappointing.

[Nakrophile]

Wait, I just remembered the bits with them as younglings… and although my memory is bad I can’t see a similarity, particularly with Tim.

[Nakrophile]

> I just re-watched Part 3. Cat specifically mentions that he got the Joy Squid from the ocean planet all those years ago. As they didn?t actually make it back to the ocean planet on their return trip in Nanarchy, this means that logically Cat must have brought it back to the Dwarf following the events of BTR, where it promptly escaped.

I knew it!

[Nakrophile]

> This confused me on the first viewing but it seemed that when Lister believed they were fictional characters played by actors, Chloe appeared to be his best shot. Upon his realisation that it was a hallucination he was able to get Kochanski? but if this was really a hallucination where he would be happy, shouldn?t he have been able to get Kochanski there all along?

That’s what I assumed would happen at first, as when he was reading that magazine with Chloe’s interview he still thought she was dead. Later when Kochakski appeared he knew it wasn’t real and he also knew she was still alive, thus it was Kochanksi he imagined.

[Nakrophile]

Who wants to get the fuck off of this boat LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL OMG

[Nakrophile]

teh winnorz > bte > teh suxxorz

But final judgement waits for the DVD.

[Nakrophile]

> I?d love to see a time-travel episode with them revisiting the events of a Series 1 / 2 story – Trials & Tribbleations style.

They could revisit the episode Kryten and someone could ask the actual Kryten why he looks so different, to which he should reply that it is a long story.

[Nakrophile]

Well wasn’t it made clear that the joy squid was from the same ocean as the despair squid? I thought words were said to that effect…

I know it’s not impossible, but how likely it it that they took Starbug down to the bottom of another ocean on another planet that also had a ship/station on its bed, and the staff there had also been conducting genetic alterations with the local marine life?

Same place, I say.

Also, I doubt it was the ocean in Cassandra, as the ship Cassandra herself was on was down there for a completely different reason than the one in BtR.

[Nakrophile]

The director’s cut of Alien is interesting, just a few things tightened up if you will, and an equally interesting scene with Dallas.

Anyway, Alien 3 is fantastic and its reception has improved over time, I think most of the problem was the dramatic shift away from the tone of the first two films (well not so much Alien really, but you get the idea), particularly as Aliens had been so action-packed and gung-ho. It is definitely the end of the trilogy, I enjoy Resurrection a bit but fuck it in it’s stupid pointless face.

[Nakrophile]

> living out his fantasy of telling Lister the truth.

I agree!

[Nakrophile]

Lister – gets his last chance to be with Kochanski, before he is told TEH TROOH.
Rimmer – gets to pass off all his inadequacies by the fact someone made him up.
Cat – gets to be the smart one for a change and kind of solve the riddle/make up for guilt over bring the squid on board to begin with.
Kryten – hmm.

[Nakrophile]

> Doug should feel EXTREMELY proud with himself after delivering something as great as BtE. Should there be another series? Too fucking right. BRING IT ON!

^This x10.

[Nakrophile]

I forgot about that. Woe is me.

[Nakrophile]

We did?

[Nakrophile]

Corden and Horne are in demand now though because of Gavin & Stacey and that utter fail of a film out now, so it’s no surprise their sketch show is getting a second series.

[Nakrophile]

It’s been mentioned already that it will be two discs.

[Nakrophile]

I eagerly await traveling along the ship, past the windows and the side/dome/graveyard place, then into the ship proper, down the new corridors and into the new sleeping quarters.

Also, I eagerly await floating in the water tank, going into the diving bell and up onto the surface when I put the second disc in.

[Nakrophile]

It only looked a little too cgi, so to speak, when it was holding the hammer.

[Nakrophile]

> And ?Time to die? did indeed get quoted in part three.

I’m glad that was as far as homaging/parodying the tears in rain sequence went, though.

[Nakrophile]

Agreed that Dough needs to forget about the film. BtE can serve as one anyway, and probably will in its feature length presumably extended form. New series please to wrap things up.

[Nakrophile]

Eh, it’s alright but the show really didn’t need it.

[Nakrophile]

As far as I’m concerned, for me it?s definitely our Rimmer, i.e I-VII Rimmer. I know that VIII Rimmer would have been around in Lister?s life about as much (not counting deep sleeps), if not longer, but when the development is off screen it isn?t the same. That was definitely our Rimmer right there, aside from the fact it blatantly is from a couple of his comments (Polymorph, despair squid) for the most part it just felt like it was him.

No no, definitely our Rimmer.

[Nakrophile]

Chloe will appear as herself. I called it.

It will either be horribly rushed or we’ll see a return to the packed-full eps of the first few series.

[Nakrophile]

> Since the ?pleasure and pain responses remain the same? for a hardlight hologram, and he has just directly inflicted whatever large amount of pain would be associated with being struck by (if not dragged by) at least one high-speed automobile on her, yeah, I?d say it?s as harsh as it looked.

Yeah, it is pretty painful.

Anyway, she’ll be back, I have no doubt. I also have no problem with that scene.

[Nakrophile]

How on earth did you come to the conclusion they were similar to Tim and Daisy?

I did like them regardless, though.

[Nakrophile]

Oooooh. So you weren’t talking about the video I posted. Tats a relief. :)

[Nakrophile]

> It looked to me like a real Smart Car model with green paint on it.

Yeah, there were no extra bits on i like the stabilisers and such.

[Nakrophile]

What?

[Nakrophile]

Only criminals get that. But not murderers.

[Nakrophile]

I’d love to kiss Robert in his face.

[Nakrophile]

I would want something similar. Although actually I would prefer some clarification as to which Rimmer this is, or even a mention of I-VII Rimmer (which I highly doubt will happen).

[Nakrophile]

The ‘previously on…’ shouldn’t be any more than a minute and a half tops, really. I mean there really isn’t that much to recap.

9 years later
(maybe the grave scene)
Dimension-hopping leviathan.

Portal.

[Nakrophile]

“Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Listy.”

[Nakrophile]

Don’t PS3’s have Blu-ray? I sure hope so. I’ll buy both versions regardless.

[Nakrophile]

> The Rimmer one is good.

It’s certainly a little strange.
