July 4, 2020 at 5:40 pm in reply to: Unanswered Questions #259455 By Jove its holmesParticipant I can picture Rimmer force-feeding Lister strawberries June 23, 2020 at 2:48 am in reply to: Idea for an episode. #259207 By Jove its holmesParticipant CUSTER’S LAST STAND Derrick Custer is extracted from Prison Rimmer’s failing memory and becomes a real man.

June 20, 2020 at 6:09 am in reply to: Doug’s Thoughts On More Dwarf #259190 By Jove its holmesParticipant will never need a zimmer Just maybe those pills that Grampa Simpson swiped from Matlock ;) June 17, 2020 at 5:21 am in reply to: Doug’s Thoughts On More Dwarf #259130 By Jove its holmesParticipant Glen: A wider glimpse by Big Finish at Lister and Rimmer’s Earth might be interesting. For example, we know from Rimmer in “Meltdown” that Wax Droids had already been created by his time. June 17, 2020 at 2:08 am in reply to: Doug’s Thoughts On More Dwarf #259127 By Jove its holmesParticipant a dark Big Finish series about people trying to avoid being changed under the rule of Sebastian Doyle. June 11, 2020 at 11:07 am in reply to: Doug’s Thoughts On More Dwarf #259072 By Jove its holmesParticipant I agree that Last of the Summer Dwarf wouldn’t exactly bring in the crowds. June 10, 2020 at 6:42 am in reply to: Doug’s Thoughts On More Dwarf #259060 By Jove its holmesParticipant Red Dwarf On Ice? Red Dwarf: The Animated Series? Red Dwarf: The Next Generation? June 9, 2020 at 11:32 am in reply to: Doug’s Thoughts On More Dwarf #259048 By Jove its holmesParticipant Red Dwarf XIV: Searching for a Zimmerframe June 8, 2020 at 9:15 pm in reply to: Unanswered Questions #259042 By Jove its holmesParticipant “Henry Tulip” Ah, a Series One of Blackadder fan? I always wondered what Henry does after he takes power to Princess Leia of Hungary after Edmund and the rest die. June 8, 2020 at 12:51 pm in reply to: Unanswered Questions #258909 By Jove its holmesParticipant Why are both Kennedy and Nixon still taught about in schools in Lister and Rimmer’s era? Surely people with a greater impact on the historical memory will have emerged in the three hundred years between now and then. There are plenty of English/Scots/British monarchs and American presidents who were well known in their own time but are now obscure outside specialst circles. June 7, 2020 at 1:49 pm in reply to: Loose Ends #258897 By Jove its holmesParticipant In the “repaired” timeline of Timelides, how does Young Rimmer react to Porky beating him to the Tension Sheet after overhearing Old Rimmer? April 13, 2020 at 1:11 pm in reply to: Idea for an episode. #258591 By Jove its holmesParticipant THE GLENELG LAND Having already upset members of the Kennedy family with Tikka to Ride, Doug sees no problems with having the Dwarfers visit Glenelg Beach on January 26th, 1966. April 11, 2020 at 3:56 pm in reply to: Should they have continued Red Dwarf after Series VI? #258565 By Jove its holmesParticipant Cancelled after Tikka to Ride… Lister’s story ends with his ship mates beating the crap out of him ;) April 11, 2020 at 12:42 pm in reply to: Should they have continued Red Dwarf after Series VI? #258552 By Jove its holmesParticipant Just imagine if it had been cancelled after Series One. Is “Souper” really a good line to finish a show on ;) April 11, 2020 at 10:17 am in reply to: new Doctor Who scene ahead of Day of the Doctor rewatch #258549 By Jove its holmesParticipant Not Billy Bunter in particular. Just hire a young lady to channel Esther from “Orphan” and the story would be much better. April 10, 2020 at 1:47 am in reply to: new Doctor Who scene ahead of Day of the Doctor rewatch #258519 By Jove its holmesParticipant At least The Crusade has Saladin’s name pronounced correctly, just like modern Who pronounced Fuehrer correctly in Let’s Kill Hitler. April 10, 2020 at 12:17 am in reply to: Your Unpopular Red Dwarf Opinions #258513 By Jove its holmesParticipant the Dwarfers meeting Bill and Ted from “Excellent Adventure” would have been interesting. How would Kryten get along with Rufus, B & T’s mentor? April 9, 2020 at 11:46 pm in reply to: new Doctor Who scene ahead of Day of the Doctor rewatch #258511 By Jove its holmesParticipant If the Crusade were ever animated, you’d have to carefully consult with actual Arabs during the animation process to avoid racist stereotypes visually that were just as inept as the brownface in the live-action original. April 9, 2020 at 5:08 am in reply to: new Doctor Who scene ahead of Day of the Doctor rewatch #258469 By Jove its holmesParticipant [With apologies for steal- borrowing this from Australian children’s’ author Paul Jennings] [at an Australian shopping mall one Christmas in an alternate universe] Young Amelia [in pink t-shirt and white shorts]: “You promised you’d take me to see Australian Father Christmas! Eleven: Amelia, we’re shopping for presents! Young Amelia: If you don’t take me to see Australian Father Christmas, I’ll wee on the floor! [starts lifting leg end of her shorts] Eleven [defeated]: OK, we’ll go and see Australian Father Christmas. April 9, 2020 at 2:35 am in reply to: Your Unpopular Red Dwarf Opinions #258467 By Jove its holmesParticipant Compared to Pol Pot, Mao etc., Napoleon comes off pretty well. He released the Jews from the Rome Ghetto, but when the Papal States were restored after his defeat, they were forced back. His legal code remained the basis of much modern law in Western countries for a long time. I think the writers of RD didn’t go beyond the history the British wrote. April 8, 2020 at 1:21 pm in reply to: Your Unpopular Red Dwarf Opinions #258447 By Jove its holmesParticipant Surprised Rimmer never used that time drive to go visit his hero, Napoleon Bonaparte. Wouldn’t that have been a fun episode Napoleon did appear, onscreen, in Better Than Life. Granted he had no lines, but he was there. April 7, 2020 at 5:51 am in reply to: Unanswered Questions #258420 By Jove its holmesParticipant And given he mentions in The Man In The Rubber Mask” about “understanding the issues” about why women under report rape, what convinced BobbyLllew about Charles’s innocence? April 6, 2020 at 12:45 am in reply to: Unanswered Questions #258410 By Jove its holmesParticipant How does J. Edgar Hoover become President in the alt-history in Tikka to Ride? Johnson was the vice-president. If Kennedy is removed from office Johnson would become President. Head of the FBI is not in the chain of command. April 4, 2020 at 3:33 am in reply to: Unanswered Questions #258395 By Jove its holmesParticipant ” I wouldn’t cancel anybody over thinking crossdressing was funny 30 years ago,” It was still bigoted and insensitive against the gender diverse thirty years ago in the 1990s. We rightly don’t give people of the past a pass on being racist or sexist just because they were able to get away with calling buxom women “jiggles” and black men “boy”. April 2, 2020 at 2:42 pm in reply to: Unanswered Questions #258384 By Jove its holmesParticipant In Tikka to Ride, Red Dwarf uses the common allegation that J. Edgar Hoover was a transvestite (a mocked up photo of Hoover in ladieswear and makeup appears on Kryten’s chest monitor). Hoover was a lot of very bad things, and held some very horrible views, but hasn’t the transvestite thing been debunked? March 30, 2020 at 1:12 am in reply to: Unanswered Questions #258322 By Jove its holmesParticipant Another Question: Had Graham Chapman never got sick, could he have uplifted “Timeslides”? (i hate Ruby Wax; Rimmer, please ask Stabem the Scutter to deal with her!) March 29, 2020 at 10:46 pm in reply to: Unanswered Questions #258320 By Jove its holmesParticipant Kryten’s home era is at least several hundred years after the Red Dwarf fled the solar system. There would be records as to how human history viewed the loss of the ship. Holly would have sent a message to Space Corps HQ on Earth when the accident happened, surely? March 27, 2020 at 10:30 pm in reply to: Unanswered Questions #258296 By Jove its holmesParticipant How does Ace Rimmer discover what the point of divergence is between him and ‘our’ Rimmer? Through the hole in the plot? ;) March 26, 2020 at 4:24 am in reply to: new Doctor Who scene ahead of Day of the Doctor rewatch #258251 By Jove its holmesParticipant Re: The New Scene of Thirteen That’s Meant to Comfort Children In This Lockdown: While watching I found myself wondering how Tom Baker would have done it. “This is something you’ll have to get through yourself. You can’t depend on me to save you all the time. Just remember, humanity is indomitable.” March 23, 2020 at 10:50 am in reply to: new Doctor Who scene ahead of Day of the Doctor rewatch #258205 By Jove its holmesParticipant “….but for some reason, everything I own is now incredibly huge!” :) March 20, 2020 at 12:42 am in reply to: Who has has a Red Dwarf dream? #258121 By Jove its holmesParticipant Once there was too much fanwank on TOS forums about Sebby P and Andrew E and i dreamed that night about the two fighting with treebranches whilst wearing togas. March 15, 2020 at 12:27 am in reply to: Episode/s with the worst audience? #258054 By Jove its holmesParticipant I dislike the notion of having a studio audience for RD. It creates a two-tier group of fans – those who go to the recordings and know what will happen in new episodes or specials, and those fans, especially ones in other countries, who do not. Worse, you almost always see many of the “recording-ists” act like smug arseholes after the episodes or specials are broadcast and non-recording-ist’s pre-broadcast speculation is shown to be wrong. March 13, 2020 at 8:12 pm in reply to: Unanswered Questions #258041 By Jove its holmesParticipant Why do people that go to baby changing stations always come back with the same baby? March 3, 2020 at 11:48 am in reply to: How much of Red Dwarf consciously targets Americans? #257962 By Jove its holmesParticipant JNT on Doctor Who tried to appeal to the Australian market with Tegan, and the United States* market with Peri. (* – according to progressive activists, we should use USian as not everyone who lives on the American continent lives in the United States) February 29, 2020 at 5:39 am in reply to: CBS Red Dwarf reboot rumour #257862 By Jove its holmesParticipant At least in the Classic Six, Lister wants to stay in his working-class rut though. He doesn’t want to mature or better himself. He openly says in “DNA” that he’d rather keep women as disposable sexual objects in his life rather than treat them as complex and equal human beings (“I could have started having relationships with [women] instead of going out with them”). Everyone talks about Rimmer but Lister’s attitude towards women in much of the Classic Six doesn’t look too well either, thirty years on. February 28, 2020 at 8:52 pm in reply to: Unanswered Questions #257854 By Jove its holmesParticipant In the novel, Rimmer uses his ••••• of a mum as a model for a wife. Of course, Better Than Life delves into the subconscious and the deep, dark recesses of the mind – it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that Rimmer has a hidden Oedipal desire. February 28, 2020 at 12:14 pm in reply to: Unanswered Questions #257850 By Jove its holmesParticipant Part of Holly’s major plan is to resurrect Kochanski from her canister of ashes, so she can grow young with Lister. How come Rimmer doesn’t think of resurrecting himself in the same manner, so he doesn’t have to be a hologram any more? (Maybe because he wouldn’t have a ‘gimmick’ any more. He’d just be a boring ol’ smeghead) February 27, 2020 at 10:32 pm in reply to: Unanswered Questions #257840 By Jove its holmesParticipant Even though the TV version of the Better Than Life game wasn’t lethal, would the creators really want to make it easy for players to leave? Even in the TV episode they fooled the boys into thinking they could just stop the game – until the loan shark showed up. February 25, 2020 at 12:39 pm in reply to: Unanswered Questions #257802 By Jove its holmesParticipant From what i know, Kryten’s home era is about 200 years after RD was forced to flee the Solar System. He has to tell the others what simulants are, so the first simulants must have been created after Lister and Rimmer’s time period. February 24, 2020 at 5:57 am in reply to: Unanswered Questions #257782 By Jove its holmesParticipant By the way, why does Kryten feel the need to differentiate between simulants and “rogue droids”? February 21, 2020 at 10:56 am in reply to: real world cultural references in the series #257754 By Jove its holmesParticipant Christine McGlade was the only Canadian in the 1980s worth a darn. February 11, 2020 at 10:57 am in reply to: bad news about Australian "Stan" streaming service #257601 By Jove its holmesParticipant I feared that “Stan” might have had Polymorph Remastered. For some reason the remastered version dumped the gag with them all walking along and we see two Listers. The replacement footage shows the ball bouncing down the hallway and words come up explaining that the second Polymorph being less intelligent hid in Lister’s clean underwear drawer… where it died of old age waiting to attack. A cute gag, but just not as good as the original ending. February 10, 2020 at 5:12 am in reply to: Idea for an episode. #257578 By Jove its holmesParticipant Julian Clary appears The three most dreaded words in the English language! February 9, 2020 at 6:13 am in reply to: real world cultural references in the series #257557 By Jove its holmesParticipant It’s TVTropes Dot Org who said that the preponderance of Eighties references in Series One to Three look out of place in the futuristic setting now that we are two decades into the 21st Century. February 8, 2020 at 1:06 pm in reply to: Idea for an episode. #257538 By Jove its holmesParticipant If they ever do a re-boot of “Backwards”, I think a backwards puberty would be tough on a woman. And a backwards giving birth and pregnancy. February 8, 2020 at 12:02 am in reply to: real world cultural references in the series #257529 By Jove its holmesParticipant Even TV Tropes Dot Org decides to take a time out to mention how RD I to III have a lot of 1980s references despite the setting. GNP weren’t thinking too far ahead, were they? (see what I did there?) January 18, 2020 at 10:31 pm in reply to: Idea for an episode. #257128 By Jove its holmesParticipant The Rimsie’s They Are a Changin’ Rimmer finally says the other Dwarfers can go •••• themselves January 18, 2020 at 9:00 pm in reply to: Doctor Who – Series 12 #257123 By Jove its holmesParticipant Still mad at being lectured like a 10 year old from the last episode. we must be thankful that they did not have Swedish Greta guest star.
