>3 years later Ace Rimmer returns after hundreds of failed efforts to save the universe, the end.

Which also explains why he is hardlight when they don’t have that technology.

[JamesTC]

I think bits like between Coronation Street and getting to the creator were far too fast, a short 30 second scene in Car Bug could have easily bridged the gap. I think it will be much improved by the 75 minute directors cut (which was shown at the premier).

[JamesTC]

9 years is a long time, what if Rimmer died with Red Dwarf and the gang (inc Kochanski) stole a Star Bug from the mirror universe and got back to ours using it and re-cover the nano-bots and ask them to make a new Red Dwarf, 3 years later Ace Rimmer returns after hundreds of failed efforts to save the universe, the end.

[JamesTC]

>And people who reply to themselves. :P

I only really do that because if I edit and someone posts then it moves down which is annoying, it is the better of a bad lot.

[JamesTC]

I wouldn’t blame it on the influx of new members, I would blame it on a select few.

[JamesTC]

I wouldn’t blame it on the influx of new members, I would blame it on a select few.

[JamesTC]

Anyway during part 1 and most of part 2 in the discussion it was rather civil and accepting despite being a big split of fan opinion, it is only a small group of people who changed that into a fucking annoyance and petty arguing that is more repetitive than a space core directive joke.

[JamesTC]

Fuck off you twatting cunt.

Better?

[JamesTC]

>Have noticed that Season 1 on Itunes moved up the top series list from 6 to 4 since last night

Very interesting, BtE has also made the original series sales go way up then.

[JamesTC]

[JamesTC]

>Anyone who?s had the misfortune of sitting through the first two episodes of this three parter know that the ?Back To Earth? comeback is far from classic Dwarf.

Erm, no. I sat through it, infact I have sat through it several times and BTE 2 is one of my favourite episodes of Red Dwarf so please shut up with your poor generalisation.

[JamesTC]

Hurray, Mr Flibble has now appeared in two episodes of Red Dwarf.

[JamesTC]

Just coming up to the end now, Lee Evans didn’t acually annoy me too much, he was annoying but not that much.

When it started it was just horrible, I doubt they have 4 guards on a holy grail as well as lasers, even if they did you would think one of them would look up.
Then the police arrive within ten seconds of the alarm going off. It was just one big cringe, then David Tennant got on the bus and offered a piece of easter egg, well it made me smile.
I won’t go into detail too much because it would all be too negative and over all I would rather be positive, since I have nothing positive to say I will leave it at that.
3/10
Wasn’t as bad as ‘Time and the Rani’ or ‘Last of the Time Lords’ but certainly below average.

[JamesTC]

What did the Dave ja vu repeat do? I would say it would be more than yesterday’s repeat on Dave ja vu.

[JamesTC]

I think Mr Flibble should have been there, you know, give him another appearance, then I can look down at Mr Flibble I have next to me and smile. Well atleast I can look to my “favourite DVD shelf” and see loads of stuff that apears in the episode, specifically Series III DVD.

________________________________________________________________________________
Two million, I think, is far too high. Dwarf is a bit pull, but it?s still on a little digital channel that hasn?t even topped 1 million yet. Something amazing might happen, but I think 1 million is the pie in the sky target for now.
________________________________________________________________________________

I agree.

________________________________________________________________________________
It?ll have a six in it, but it won?t be six thousand.
________________________________________________________________________________
It got 2,060,000 didn’t it?

[JamesTC]

Though with an RTD script basically everything he writes is an anagram that will prophasise what will happen in an episode or two.

[JamesTC]

I didn’t, copied of IMDB.

[JamesTC]

The Waters Of Mars = WARS OF THE MASTER

Anagram

[JamesTC]

>That episode was absolute genius.

This.

[JamesTC]

Lee Evans is the best thing in this? How shit is it?

[JamesTC]

I don’t care what form Red Dwarf is in so long as it returns.

[JamesTC]

Eh I will still watch it.

[JamesTC]

I think it might be using old smeg ups but without links in the middle and a new opening by Pat.

[JamesTC]

The War Games = 50
The Stones of Blood = 100
Planet of the Dead = 200

Hmm…

[JamesTC]

I think someone told him it was new and he was suprised by it, I don’t think he actually said it was new.

[JamesTC]

The special effects for the flying bus looked naff but I loved the flying sting ray things, some wonderful CGI for them.

[JamesTC]

I have the Just the Smegs DVD with it on but it is 30 minutes long and I think it only have Smeg Ups from Series 4-6.

[JamesTC]

Only seen the last 15 minutes so in no place to decide.
The four knocks seem pretty obvious as the Master, I mean start doing that weird drumming thing, “duh duh duh dum, duh duh duh dum, duh duh duh dum”.

[JamesTC]

>That tends to be when the exciting stuff happens in TV anyhow.

Yeh, nothing exiting on TV happens in spring.

[JamesTC]

Just caught the end 15 minutes of ‘Planet of the Dead’, got in there to see the buf flying.

‘The Waters on Mars’ for the next special, I hope it isn’t the Ice Warriors, didn’t like them in ‘The Seeds of Death’

That woman at the end saying “he will knock four times” was fucked up but try doing the Master’s drumming, “duh duh duh dum, duh duh duh dum, duh duh duh dum”.

The cloister bell over the next time clip was a nice touch.

Won’t watch the episode proper until monday, I am in no rush.

[JamesTC]

The Simpsons and Red Dwarf too I would say. I have certainly seen Red Dwarf with commentary atleast twice.

[JamesTC]

I did for the most part, I only watched Series VIII today, yesterday I only watched Series V, VI and VII, the day before that I only watched Series I, II, III and IV.

[JamesTC]

Yep, I saw that a day ago, the hologram at the end is freaky, funny video though.

[JamesTC]

It seems to me that Part 1 will be sort of a tribute, a get back to basics type episode, Part 2 and 3 will be the stand out original episodes.

[JamesTC]

Just lobbed on Dave in the hope of seeing a trailer for Dwarf, one came up, it shown the chase sequance with a new narration about the water tank.

[JamesTC]

I had a good laugh, “stop that dinosaur”.

[JamesTC]

‘Pete’ part 2 had a scene that stopped half way through, I have switched to the feature length version and it is working fine.

[JamesTC]

7 hours 49.

[JamesTC]

I will also be ordering ti from Amazon but that is because Amazon a generally more reliable, I ordered a game from Play and after taking over a week they eventually sent an e-mail to say the order was cancelled, why the fuck didn’t they e-mail a week earlier.

[JamesTC]

Yeh, the first one is horrible, it is like a sixth form revue, watch and see what I mean!

[JamesTC]

Oh yes, in the opening to ‘Backwards’.

[JamesTC]

No I have finished Series VII I have decided to watch a certain fan film…

[JamesTC]

>>Well, technically they also appear on-screen in the first Series II episode as well.
>Whuh?

Well I can’t say for on screen but Series 2 had roman numerals on the video, as did Series 1 but Series 2 came out first.

[JamesTC]

Only 21 hours left, 5 hours more Dwarf to watch, 8 hours sleep, that leaves 8 hours, hmm, all the smegs is another 2 hours, Bodysnatcher and Identity Within is another hour. What am I going to do for the other 5 hours?

[JamesTC]

Nah, watching Series 1 and 2 yesterday I still think he is funny, I mean he didn’t write the lines. Lines like “Be grateful for what you’ve got because frankly I’m fantastic” still have me laughing like an idiot.

[JamesTC]

Why would I watch it on Dave ja vu? I am taping it and watching it again straight after.

[JamesTC]

Haha, good interview, I wonder how many DVDs must be sold to consider this a success, I mean the originals sold into the millions.
