Well this is a weird one, it’s still not loading when I’m using Safari but on Chrome it loads no problem?!
Ah well I’ve added Chrome for now, so I can keep up to date and get good old TOS in on a Friday.

[Squeaky Gibson]

Holly/Pree returns as a recurring character, ala Dr Pulaski in ST:TNG season 2. So ony there when needed or not mentioned when off ship in Starbug, as say for plot and budget, Holly/Preems confined to Red Dwarf.

Exploring more of the ship and addressing how Lister feels after nearly 20 years with just this group, ala Timeslides/Dear Dave and his realisation that this core team (all 4) is his family and that a return to Earth or reuniting with Kochanski would sadden him, as he’d loose his now established Family.

[Squeaky Gibson]

that’s a nice cover and some nice extras but does seem odd not having cast commentary, hopefully thats one of two pleasant surprises which were teased…

[Squeaky Gibson]

The one thing which does come to mind about the finale is The Canaries. as Hollister says in the briefing, most of you will be left behind to die. so does that mean once every ones cleared of in the Starbugs and Blue Midgets, are there still Canaries left on board with Rimmer & co, if so what ever happened to them? did they die whilst the ship broke apart whilst Rimmer got whacked by the vending machine.

[Squeaky Gibson]

Wow, seems like most of the series will be slow build up to great finale, it’s series VI all over again!

[Squeaky Gibson]

It’ll be shame if there is no commentaries, I’m sure that G&T ones (fingers crossed) will be just as good, though does seem like Dave/DVD company have dropped major clanger, surely they must know fans love the cast commentaries. would be nice if Dave did their own for episodes, ala BBC ones for Doctor Who series 2-4.

[Squeaky Gibson]

Excellent, can’t wait to hear some (hopefully) future Rimmer lines, his the king of the one liners and put downs.

[Squeaky Gibson]

Love it, makes me want to watch Quarantine again now!

[Squeaky Gibson]

Today certianly has been day of epicness, can’t imagine how it could be topped. it’s nice to have Howard back on board, his always been key part of the RD family, it would have been odd having different composer for a regular series.

[Squeaky Gibson]

Liking the new video, Cat’s new hair is very different, may be once we see it in full effect, with costume & danny’s performance it’ll become less noticeable. Given it’s only side shot but does Rimmer have the gel look going on? In the bunk room sessions of BtE they fluffed his hair up to give it more body like earlier series, but then later in you have first footage filmed on Corrie, which he has the gel/slicked look going on. I’m intrigued to think what new image will be, would imagine either another set image or may be promo shot image of Red Dwarf itself, with a tag line. Like they did with Skelton for VII. would be nice if it was cast shot, but is it still too soon?

[Squeaky Gibson]

Nice to know we will be getting to see more parts of the Dwarf than just the BTE sleeping quarters. It does sounds like the virtual sets of BTE have been changed bacck to the classic physical ones. I hope they are up to the series V and VII standard, as they were both very good and looked great on camera.

[Squeaky Gibson]

It may be a year away but hopefully it’ll be worth the wait. hopefully if BBC continue with their current Doctor Who format with split seasons/series. we will have Doctor Who series 7(part 2) and Red Dwarf X in September ’12, it’s like Easter ’09 all over again!

[Squeaky Gibson]

I think if memory serves Life On Mars (UK) was only filmes in 16mm and they upscaled that for the Blu-Ray release with mixed results.
If the 35mm masters for the original model shots of Red Dwarf still exists from ’87 then surely they could take the detail from that to build (yet another)revised ship that matched the original or failing that, just use the original models shots form series I-IV!

Wasn’t there a mention of this footage not existing when they talked about the ships trim for BTE in the 2nd making of documentary? it’s been a while since I watched that. would be neat if the Beeb did retain that footage, as ST:TOS was shot in 35mm back in the 60’s and since then they have been able to give that the Blu-Ray treatment and I hear that it looks really good.

[Squeaky Gibson]

The high points for me of this last season Doctor Who were The Eleventh Hour and the The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang. the plotting was great in all three and you could tell SM was on form then. Couldn’t stand Vincent and The Doctor not The Vampires of Venice, those were clunkers that could have been got put by the way side. The Lodger was a good outing and had the nice mystery of the ‘upper room’. I hope that is a story which gets continued in a ater series.

Sci-fi wise it is a bit quiet at the minutes, just watched both versions of Superman 2 within the last 2 days once again and must admit I prefer the Donner cut, it’s just a stronger story and Christoper Reeve gives a better performance.

[Squeaky Gibson]

Mongrels have been commisioned to do a series 2. another for the list
Star Trek: The Cunt Generation

[Squeaky Gibson]

Reminds me of Mongrels and their version Cunt Dine with Me, shame Vince ate the other contestants! may be they could have Ian Lee as desert!

[Squeaky Gibson]

cheers for the heads up on those, just found one.

[Squeaky Gibson]

Feels like 2009 all over again! thanks for the heads up, wouldn’t usuallly listen to this. any one know of any way we can save this, feels like something worthy of vault!

[Squeaky Gibson]

That’s very interesting. would be a unique form of Viral marketing

[Squeaky Gibson]

Would be nice if the Mk 3 Cortina could return for the final show. as nice as the Audi is, I miss the Ford. would be neat if Sam was the driver!

I’m really enjoying this final series, I’m loving the way it is starting to link back more to Life on Mars. it will be sad once it’s gone though :(

[Squeaky Gibson]

“Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage” curses!

[Squeaky Gibson]

*wipes tear from eye* it’s about time. the movies were nice, but can’t wait for the (hopefully) old style shows.

[Squeaky Gibson]

ahh Jonny Briggs, that was great. always used to watch that. ITV did have one classic which no one has mentioned yet: Inspector Gadget!

[Squeaky Gibson]

So what is it?

[Squeaky Gibson]

I bet once they get all contracts signed and get funding etc, it won’t be specualtion and they’ll be making a lot of fuss!

[Squeaky Gibson]

very sad news, I hope the do a dedication to him at the end of ‘The Water of Mars’, that would be nice touch.

[Squeaky Gibson]

Duplicate post, D’oh!

[Squeaky Gibson]

This is such a sad loss to the industry, escpecially at the time when It’s needs fresh ides. John Hughes was a one man genius back in the 80’s and i’m sure that if he was on top form now, he would have saved us from all these recent remakes. R.I.P

[Squeaky Gibson]

fingers crossed mine should be with me wednesday, I decided to get one of eBay in the end. didn’t wanna fork out too much, as i’m sure i’ll get Blu-ray release as well once it’s come out. can’t wait to watch Director’s Cut with Commentary

[Squeaky Gibson]

Fingers crossed this was just a stunt, as Futurama with out the original voices would be like robbie rocket pants, with out the rockets

[Squeaky Gibson]

i’d say it must be Star Trek, it is now the highest earning ‘Trek in film in the series. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallens looks good, but the reviews seems a bit hit and miss

[Squeaky Gibson]

seems there’s no problem then. just you that once blu-ray discs comes out the dvd will go from ?13 to ?6 in matter of days…of course if it goes down in a sale might get it then.

[Squeaky Gibson]

finally a Blu-ray release date, must admit i’m tempted to hold of getting the dvd release and go straight to Blu-ray instead.

[Squeaky Gibson]

very interesting and thank goodness for the ‘history’ feature on Wiki!

[Squeaky Gibson]

i’m waiting til monday and using my nectar points!

[Squeaky Gibson]

Had a feeling it would end like that, though I was expecting Sam Tyler to make an appearance, though it was nice they name checked him.

[Squeaky Gibson]

That is interesting after this hint in the ‘Vote for Dwarf’ new item on TOS.
“Back to Earth surprised a lot of people, and brought record audiences to Dave. The question is: where do we go from here…?” I wonder if dvd sales will be the final clincher in getting new episodes and of course a space in craig’s schedule!

[Squeaky Gibson]

that has to be the worst Scotty figure I have ever seen…they forgot his moustache!

[Squeaky Gibson]

I decided to risk it, as no one was baout last night. great film, the 2 hours flew by. agree that there were not enough shots of the Enterprise. must admit from some angles the new look worked. like the fact they did a close up in the front torpedo launceher ala ST II & III. very nice touch. 8/10

[Squeaky Gibson]

>I REALLY wanted to go and see this. Then I went and had another epileptic fit at the weekend, so now I?ve got to wait for the DVD. So I?m in two minds whether to read the reviews and spoilers or not.

that’s my concern as well, after watching Revenge of the Sith, I felt pretty off, so i’m not sure if I should see this or not. if I do see it, i’ll make sure I take some one with me.

[Squeaky Gibson]

Found it a bit boring, was no way as epic as Journey’s End. the Water of Mars looks like another filler episode, until the 2 part finale that has links back to Human Nature/Family of Blood.

[Squeaky Gibson]

shame there isn’t any production subtitles, i’d thought after Bodysnatcher they might become a common feature on future dvds. they would have been good highlighting little easter egg glimpses in say the ‘Thye Walk Among Us’ shop for example.

[Squeaky Gibson]

the question that has yet be answered is, how come Red Dwarf is still about? did Ace Rimmer arrive at the end and fix the ship or this the mirror universe where the crew were trapped at the end of VIII.

[Squeaky Gibson]

may they uploaded a new version of Windows and it corrupted his program.

[Squeaky Gibson]

is a thing of a beauty and a site I never thought would grace a door again.

[Squeaky Gibson]

I Like the revamped logo. though not sure the black works in the main text, then again as the saying goes “you can’t stop progress”

[Squeaky Gibson]

it’s going to be ashort book considering he was only in I, II & VIII (inc VII’s cameo). it’s a pity he has lost the love of Dwarf, but it’s still nice that he went and supported Danny a few weeks back at court. I wonder if he will take part in the Documentary that’s being made as well or will that only focus on the 4 main players?

[Squeaky Gibson]

>K9 And Company wasn?t cancelled. It just got lost in the shuffle during the change that happened in the BBC at the time.

Yeah and it returned many years later as The Sarah Jane Adventures, but with its lead character reduced to a cameo role.

[Squeaky Gibson]

Quick some get in touch with Dave and get them to sort it out!
