That’s a real rank????????? I thought it was some bullshit Rob and Doug made up. Is this my fault for being American?

[Moonlight]

Sexy auras.

Chris makes this face basically any time he speaks in the Dave era.

[Moonlight]

I use this all the time when discussing how my day at work was.

#RedDwarf #Smegle 09/04/2026 

I tried Promised Land, XI and XII before I realized what I was looking at.

Better Than Life, Meltdown, Backwards

Just all the Earthy episodes, really.

The Last Day

[Moonlight]

I see the Rimmer monster (I tried to coin Rimmonster at the time but nobody bit) as a fun violent swerve for the episode. Instead of the Rimmers devolving into infighting like you might expect, they get eaten by a fucked up monster Rimmer accidentally creates by being too impatient to wait two minutes.

I do remember when I first watched the episode and they asked the monster to make a list I thought it was going to be a Chekhov’s gun from Herring turning to paper earlier where they trick the monster into “completing” its task and cause it to turn back to paper. Instead they just shoot it in the face(s).

And of course, it’s against UK law to write an article about Red Dwarf without using X era promo photos with the eye bag mask.

[Moonlight]

Series VI blends together a bit in my memory compared to 2-V. I can never remember which cockpit scenes are in what episode.

I guessed just about every other episode in the series.

[Moonlight]

I was just watching Jeeves and Wooster and now I can’t stop thinking the guy on the left looks like Hugh Laurie.

[Moonlight]

Back to Earth is about to be 17 years old. This is not an opinion but as a statement I feel it will prove unpopular.

Remember Headfuck Monday? I sure do.

Sometimes you can just tell from the predominant color of the frame, like the Back to Earth one.

[Moonlight]

#RedDwarf #Smegle 04/04/2026 

There is only one shot in the entire show that color could indicate.

[Moonlight]

I’m wondering if we need to invent a fan theory that Rimmer is actively taking and failing two separate exams, because they seem to flip flop between astronavigation and engineering throughout Series 1.

[Moonlight]

#RedDwarf #Smegle 03/04/2026 

Lucky guess after DNA.

I don’t find there’s enough difference in quality to single out any of the Dave series as notably better or worse (not counting BTE).

I will go to bat for X but I do think it feels noticeably lesser than XI and XII on average.

[Moonlight]

Oh. That one. Yeah, that episode is a fucking mess.

[Moonlight]

Cassandra is the only VIII episode I could ever see myself casually throwing on but Timewave is the only XII episode I couldn’t.

That said, I generally prefer XI. I’ve been having a hot, steamy love affair with Officer Rimmer since it aired regardless of how it kinda falls apart in the last couple minutes. There’s no other episode post-VI that I like as much as it.

[Moonlight]

I’m filling a burlap sack with doorknobs as we speak.

[Moonlight]

The only good “all a dream” fan theory in history is that VII and VIII take place in an unreality bubble.

[Moonlight]

He’s animated like you’re speaking to the shopkeeper in an early 90s DOS game.

[Moonlight]

I know this thread is a safe haven for free expression but I’m still gonna kick your ass.

[Moonlight]

We’ve all heard the proposition, exciting as any coma theory, that they’re still in Better Than Life for the whole series from the point they enter, so I’m prepared to blow your goddamn minds with another fan theory that recontextualizes a significant portion of the show in a non-pointless way: Kryten is never shown to be reprogrammed back to normal in Krytie TV—therefore he must be still in that state for the rest of the show. What does this fan theory seek to explain? 

Well, it sure makes for a good AI-narrated YouTube short aimed at people who haven’t watched the show in 20 years.

I’m still trying to find Rankles and win my one million pounds. I heard a tip from someone on the playground that if you beat Sonic 3 without dying 15 times in a row he appears and you unlock Sally Acorn.

[Moonlight]

Somehow I’ve never encountered it before.

[Moonlight]

That’s near the end of season 3, actually, when the show is somewhat losing its marbles.

[Moonlight]

The April Fools joke is as lousy as it is brilliant.

[Moonlight]

I think Back in the Red should’ve been an 8 parter.

[Moonlight]

THE BECK FILES

Lister discovers a Beck album and gets super into Beck. Special guest star Beck as Beck.

[Moonlight]

I would pay to see this version.

[Moonlight]

THE GEX FILES

When a mysterious intruder begins stealing Lister’s dinner every night, Cat blames a talking Gecko called Gex who has the same voice as him, thus providing him an alibi for the repeated cries of “Aaaaooooowwww! I’m gonna eat you little chicky!”

[Moonlight]

I herald from the universe where Pete is a two-part episode of Frasier.

[Moonlight]

I was wrong about the specific shot but I knew the scene.
