worth noting there that “Kevin Jackson” is actually Paul using his first name. (Paul is his middle name.)

[Technopeasant]

Nah man, you’re good and thank you for your service.

He also has dabbled in medicine and didn’t feel compelled to tell Butler about that either.

[Technopeasant]

And of course between Timeslides and Krytie TV Lister goes back to liking the song again.

[Technopeasant]

I just did a majorish rewrite of the Wikipedia article about Rob Grant.

You have more stamina than I. I never do edits from my own account anymore to avoid having to deal with bullying admins. They will just revert whatever offends them rather than try to talk you.

[Technopeasant]

But how does that Rimmer even know of it? Rimmer clearly first heard it after he died.

[Technopeasant]

It was mainly how we pissed about in the olden days before the Smega-Drive.

Now we piss wherever we please.

To combine multiple GIFs into one, use Timeline feature as you have already been doing with individual frames.

I never use the Timeline and just use Ezgif. That also allows me to resize/crop frames between the 4:3 BBC and 16:9 Dave clips.

I suppose the two ships could also just dock. Have one of those space docking corridor things that those sci fi programmes always have.

If they had that and the other workarounds suggested would we notice the absence of shuttles? It was only on my second watch of The Orville that I noticed they never used teleporters.

[Technopeasant]

I don’t believe that is the same skill as is involved with being an artist – I see it as more like coding 
I do get where you’re coming from, but speaking as someone from the software development industry I’d just like to clarify that the architecture, design, and development of good software requires a hell of a lot more knowledge, skill and, dare I say it, creativity than prompting AI does!

If AI does anything it sure makes people argue over what is or isn’t actual talent or worthwhile work.

[Technopeasant]

I’d say part of it is the contrast is strongest if you are only comparing V to VI or to an extent VII. VI is definitely darker than III or even IV in terms of regular peril.

[Technopeasant]

Oh dear, he’s noticed…

My understanding is Amtrack is still better than Via Rail.

I sometimes take the LRT in Edmonton or Calgary though.

[Technopeasant]

I mean, I am just annoyed I still need ImgFlip for Blackadder memes. For Father Ted and Black Books there is at least GifGlobe.

I also need a Frinciac for King of the Hill.

[Technopeasant]

We have this amazing thing called the Smegadrive for doing Red Dwarf captioned images.

[Technopeasant]

You lot should just be happy to have accessible passenger rail at all.

[Technopeasant]

Especially as this will probably be the last new Dwarf for Robert to update us of his experience on. 

Putting it that way will ensure a new special commisioned tomorrow.

[Technopeasant]

He’s right, modern trains are pretty shit. The toilets are tiny, the sinks never work, the plugs never work, the wi-fi never works, the seats hurt my back, they’re hot and stuffy. And tickets are extortionate. I’m with him on this one. 

The mid-century ones however had excellent wi-fi.

[Technopeasant]

I assume we are getting a banner now?

[Technopeasant]

[Technopeasant]

I mean, all she did basically was list every other show with a spaceship…

[Technopeasant]

[Technopeasant]

The Polymorph shows up a lot earlier than that, though. 

It’s an emohawk. Totally different.

[Technopeasant]

Now make that start every page.

Patrick Stewart was about to reach for the phone to call his lawyer…

[Technopeasant]

But I think the second half of Emohawk still stands up as a candidate. It’s the first time the show draws on its own past, to the extent that it’s three sequels in one. Yeah, they’ve joked about “you wanted characters to come back, well there they all are” or whatever, but even just acknowledging that fanbase desire feels a little desperate.

They may have cut the garroting Bambi bit but the fact this imitation of Ace turned out to be a deranged sociopath kind of saves it.

[Technopeasant]

If you’ll permit a silly thought from a new person (hello all):
Camille. Before this point, we don’t know that there other communities in the universe. After Camille, we know that Camille and Hector are off somewhere, living with each other. Before this point, there is the possibility that the crew is completely alone (in this universe, at this point in time). After Camille, the series doesn’t feel as bleak anymore. I like the bleakness. 

Valid, but when you think about it the only reason Kryten didn’t count is because his community turned out to be already dead.

I remember watching Tikka to Ride at the time and I was stunned by how weak the ending to that episode was. The opening resolution to the cliffhanger from Series VI was also deeply underwhelming.

For me it was watching Out of Time and then Tikka to Ride back to back on DVD in 2008. I had seen both seperately before on VHS (the former countless times) but seeing them together really showed the contrast in quality.

[Technopeasant]

Obviously it jumped the shark when the crew were wiped out. Just senseless shock value.

[Technopeasant]

Not sure what scenario would preclude the characters getting older…

[Technopeasant]

[Technopeasant]

[Technopeasant]

Sort it out, Flappo, you’re falling behind.

Yes, with hard work and dedication we can both not understand MOST of what you guys are talking about.

[Technopeasant]

Meanwhile for lizards… 

Not sure this was posted as a Semglewhack.

[Technopeasant]

Hitler peaked in Series IV IMO. Since then he’s never quite looked like Hitler.

[Technopeasant]

 Just covering my bases…

[Technopeasant]

[Technopeasant]

I always assumed the botanical gardens wasn’t actually on Red Dwarf and was on a stop off. 
In the early scenes of The End, it’s where Lister and Rimmer are heading for their next job.

Also mentioned in The Beginning.

Oddly, the Holoship also has a presumably simulated one.

[Technopeasant]

I don’t think the odds of Birdman getting the hologram slot were very high. Did the nanos ressurect George McIntyre?

[Technopeasant]

* makes TARDIS noise to unfuck thread *

[Technopeasant]

As ghastly as it is to say I don’t really feel like watching a serial that is still incomplete.

That and I’d have to pirate it unless they eventually add it to Britbox. Yarr.

You all have fun.

[Technopeasant]

 the incidental music is terrible

The obvious rejoinder is that it at least HAS incidental music.

Wait, why am I defending VIII again?

I could be convinced VII is better than XII on a good day though.

[Technopeasant]

They are the parents of Jesus of Caesarea, from the episode Lemons. Samuel has the stolen chickens hidden under his cloak, as you can see in the photo.

Probally for the best Rachel had no name matching prop.

[Technopeasant]

Given the end proved Pete is actually Petra…

[Technopeasant]

Might have been more obvious if he was holding a chicken.

[Technopeasant]

 I appreciate your honesty in using quotation marks. You know in your heart that your love for Birdman was never fully ironic.

He is the best part of the episode…

If “Pete” and “Only the Good” had been episodes of some other random sitcom in 1999, we could have long forgotten about them.

If “Back to Reality” was an episode of some other sitcom we might have done the same.

Only the Good pt 2 would probably be about Big Meat following the Cat around all day in a Batman outfit, trying to be his biatch. 

Directed by Joel Schumacher.

[Technopeasant]

I enjoy Barbara killing her pet due to her assuming it is a monster.

[Technopeasant]

We all do.

[Technopeasant]

which I think is delivered as a delicious irony rather than being at all problematic.

I would certainly hope so. Still, for those who have moved beyond outright denial the next recourse is usually either “it’s inevitable” or “it’s a good thing actually” so the room for misinterpetation is sadly there.
