The rest of our loathes can be one giant, hedonistic flawsh flawfillment!

I like it when Alphabet Man arches his nostrils.

Someone to flawtch over meeeeee!

While I admit the cracks in the show are becoming prominent by season 10 (and season 11 is actively collapsing under its own weight most of the time, especially in the godawful third act of “Saddlesore Galactica”), I didn’t tap out until 12 on my recent watch-through. Although maybe I’m being to lenient on them for feeling so much more like the classic era than the current season that I’ve been following merely the novelty of watching Simpsons episodes I’ve never seen before. Even if they’re rarely funny enough to be worth it. I’ve got nothing better to do, alright? Lay off.

Aaaaaaaand this is turning into a “when did the Simpsons stop being funny” debate. But then again those are a lot less clear cut than the same debate for Dwarf, since almost everyone can agree it crashed and burned after VII. Minus of course those who dislike VI for being too formulaic, but their opinions are bad and they should feel bad. (I’ll just state for the record here that I don’t think that that’s an unreasonable criticism, it’s just that with only six episodes it doesn’t last long enough to become repetitive in my opinion).

Now, the REAL Dwarf debate is whether it got good again, and if so in which season. This will become increasingly interesting to argue about as XI and XII come out.

>Either way, I’m not convinced cartoonish CGI and library music really helps its cause.

But that wasn’t a library track, it was composed by Howard Goodall. It’s the same tune as the action sequence at the beginning of the episode.

[Moonlight]

Series XI will be able to afford not one, but TWO disastrous model shoots before Doug has to step in.

[Moonlight]

I’ll defend X adamantly considering how good it was even despite the fact that not only were two and a half of the episodes written at the last minute, all the others still had a far shorter scripting period than I think any show should have.

Kind of reminds me of how much better South Park used to be when they spent longer a week on each episode.

Series XII Episode 2: “Smegerama Double-Posts”.

[Moonlight]

Rimmer gets a Predator Drone for his birthday.

[Moonlight]

Red Dwarf is blown up by Social Justice Simulants over Taiwan Tony’s voice.

[Moonlight]

Come on guys, let’s just accept that if XI was going to happen there would’ve been news long ago. It’s time to let it go.

[Moonlight]

If you ever do Back to Earth, make sure to remove the completely unnecessary CGI skutter pasted over that bunkroom scene.

[Moonlight]

Or they could’ve twisted the crew resurrection angle into doing a series of effectively pre-accident Dwarf, albeit with Cat and Kryten present. That at least would have been an interesting retool.

[Moonlight]

I’m a famous actress. I have a cold, but I assure you I am and I can vouch for Pescos.

[Moonlight]

How many Blue Midget dance sequences will there be?

[Moonlight]

Series XI opens with the reveal that Red Dwarf itself was actually projected by Rimmer’s light bee. Shortly after learning this, Taiwan Tony breaks up with Rimmer, who suffers a resentment attack causing the ship to vanish. Lister and the Cat, unable to breathe, swim to a nearby island. Then they are rescued by a passing GELF ship which takes them back to Hawaii.

In the following episode, Lister and the Cat meet a genie who grants them three wishes. The rest of the episode follows their adventures with the genie in Hawaii, which goes horribly wrong when the Cat repeatedly wishes for fish. All three wishes wasted, Lister is forced to turn the largest fish into a submarine. The rest of Series XI revolves around them driving the dead fish through the ocean, searching for Kryten while fighting off vicious head-hunters and Ernest Borgnine.

In the final episode, they find Kryten ship-wrecked on an island with Gilligan, who tags along back to Hawaii. In a shocking twist ending, they recover Rimmer’s light bee and power him back up along with Red Dwarf. The episode ends with Red Dwarf being commissioned as a cruise ship with Rimmer as captain, a set-up for the show to be retooled as the “Funtastic Arnold and Gilligan Hour” in Series XII.

[Moonlight]

So I stumbled upon this thread and what the actual fuck?

[Moonlight]

Check the link in the description.

It’s the first good 3D Starbug I’ve ever found available for download.

[Moonlight]

Still waiting for G&T to do an April Fools article on RDXI being announced as “sort of a Back to Earth II, stylistically”.

[Moonlight]

I’m really curious now as to what they say about “Blue”, but I’m too scared to check.

[Moonlight]

Imgur also works.

[Moonlight]

YOU’RE LYING.

[Moonlight]

So, what did they give as a reason (and I use the term loosely) for picketing the funeral of these poor children? I can’t possibly imagine what it is, and I’m not just saying that. Anything will surprise and infuriate me.

And coming from a Catholic family (though I’m agnostic myself), it really disgusts me to see people do such horrible things in the name of Christianity. I especially hate the stigma it applies to my loved ones.

[Moonlight]

I love it when people say stuff along the lines of “hate groups should be killed” in the comments. Can they not see the rich, creamy irony dripping from their words?

[Moonlight]

> A foaming twat is loose on board. It’s up to the Dwarfers to hunt it down.

“Curiosity Killed the Twat”

Series XI, Episode 5 “YOU DIE NOW” – Kochanski and her kittens are sealed into the cargo decks. Meanwhile, Lister goes into stasis to pass the time while on hold for a Veg-o-Matic, and Rimmer is forced at gun-point by Taiwan Tony to loosen the drive plate and set off a radiation leak, which destroys them all and mutates Cat into a polymorph.

Series XI, Episode 6 “The Rebeginning” – Lister emerges from stasis to discover he and Kochanski are the only surviving members of the crew. Unfortunately, the Cat polymorph is still at large. Can a trip to Tijuana and a song-and-dance polymorphectomy by Krytens’s Mexican cousin save the day?

[Moonlight]

Red Dwarf had many a quote
Which caused the forum to dote
Over buttery puns
They came out in tons
The brilliant ones made us all gloat

[Moonlight]

THE NEW SERIS NOW HAS CGI INSETAD OF MODELS AN THE VAMPIURE PLAYS A BIGGER ROLE!!!!

[Moonlight]

You’re a baboon, stork eyes.

[Moonlight]

We’ll never forget Red Christmas.

[Moonlight]

“Butter’ve been spread for most of that.”
“Therefore being charged with gross dereliction of duty and you have twenty-four hours to present your rebutterl.”

“Butter I’ve been spread for most of pat.”
“Thereflora being charged with gross dereliction of duty and you have twenty-stork hours to present your reBrummel & Brown’s.”

[Moonlight]

It’s my butter. My butter as a complete and butter bastard!

[Moonlight]

You can fit anything within its utterly buttery walls! I–I am buttered by its genius!

[Moonlight]

And pat! What’s flora on? Sana we saying everything together?

[Moonlight]

I can just imagine both of you absolutely RADIATING science as you sang.

[Moonlight]

That would be amazingly hilarious.

[Moonlight]

I don’t know why, but I love this idea.

[Moonlight]

I not only requested the X-Files theme for my funeral, I asked all the guests to stab each other in the back of the neck with stilettos and clone my sister a few dozen times.

[Moonlight]

Your judge shall be storkself.

[Moonlight]

…just to have another droid ask me the same set of stupid spreading questions!

[Moonlight]

It still hasn’t processed. You anger me, YouTube.

[Moonlight]

I personally feel the 100hz and 200hz do a terrible job of smoothing motion. Different parts of the picture always seem to be moving at different frame rates, and it’s so jarring and distracting that I can’t even watch a TV with that mode.

[Moonlight]

Praying to see a “Raw Model Effects” feature.

[Moonlight]

Couldn’t Rimmer and Lister have just showed the guard the note?

…I’ll stay quiet.

[Moonlight]

He’s got less meat on him than a Chicken McNugget!

[Moonlight]

“@DougRDNaylor How long was the Series X Red Dwarf model? I gather from the pictures that it’s about the same as the original (eight feet)?”

“@Moonlight Yes about eight feet.”

Am I just behind the times, or is it the coolest thing in the world that I could directly ask him this question?

[Moonlight]

Seeing as the curiosity is killing me, I created a Twitter account just so I could ask Doug how long the hybridized Dwarf model was. I eagerly await his response.

[Moonlight]

I wish it was on YouTube. I want to see those model shots without bad compression artifacting.
