>Backward universes and talking to the universe sort of fucks the concept of free will, doesn’t it?

Eh, idk

The talking to the universe thing in Krysis tho, they did leave that kinda ambiguous if that was the actual universe or not since, as Rimmer points out, “says you”

Meaning there’s nothing proving it was actually the universe and not like an AI gone computer senile or something, least that’s my interpretation of it anyway

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Opening with Dimension Jump would be quite odd I imagine, if it were me I’d probably think Ace Rimmer was the main character

[Bargain Bin Holly]

BTW, I always thought Better Than Life had the best ending of the four novels; I mean it ends with Lister setting his eyes on the love of his life for the first time in 3 million years thanks to the people he has thought he hated.

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Something like that I imagine, if I recall correctly I think we go from Lister dying to Lister immediately waking up on the Backwards Earth and then we get a flashback to the crew doing Holly’s tasks before Rimmer figures it out.

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Fuck me I can’t remember it and I only finished reading it a month ago, if I had to guess I think it involved something to do with Holly’s high IQ finding a way to get the crew there.

[Bargain Bin Holly]

>What world?

Cat thinks the world of himself, therefor, he’s given pleasure to himself with his great ass

[Bargain Bin Holly]

I started with The End, I was so disgusted after first-viewing my fist flew through the television screen. After two months of wearing a cast later, I tried it again and it was ok.

[Bargain Bin Holly]

I think that means his haircut is better suited for a 21 year old than a middle aged guy

[Bargain Bin Holly]

If Only the Good was solely rewritten by Rob Grant; Rimmer’s head would exploded when the soda can hit him, resulting in him suffering a million agonies. Wait… this isn’t the episode idea thread.

[Bargain Bin Holly]

I think Backwards as a concept is done well-enough in the episode, there’s not much to add upon in my opinion. If you’re looking for a more realistic approach I guess the backwards section in Rob Grant’s Backwards does it good, though I can’t remember if they read anything or not. I thought the bit where Rimmer spoke to the lady and the conversation started at the end and ended when the conversation started was pretty funny.

>the leather jacket must really smell by now. he’s been wearing it for 29 years

“Laudable? Hmm, you sometimes help me with my laundry duties by turning your underpants inside out and extending the wear time by three weeks.”

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Besides the biker jackets, I can recall Lister wearing:

-That one-piece pajama outfit he wears going to bed seen in The Beginning and probably other episodes I can’t remember; he wore something similar in the beginning of Psirens

-That vest with all four of the main characters imprinted on it

>Did Lister make that patch of the four of them himself?

I’d imagine; maybe Kryten made it and gave it to him for his birthday?

[Bargain Bin Holly]

>On a scale of Rimmer to The Cat, how often do your change your clothes?

Surely it would be on a scale of Kryten to The Cat, since Kryten almost never wears different clothing minus when he went on holiday to Z Deck and other rare occasions

[Bargain Bin Holly]

PSIRENS PART II

Psirens extended into a two-parter rewritten solely by Rob Grant; with Kryten brutally dead the Psiren gains the upperhand and is able to graphically suck out Lister’s brain fluids for 30 minutes, millions of agonies are suffered. Cat is dead and unable to make a tasteless joke but if he wasn’t he would be making one here.

[Bargain Bin Holly]

PSIRENS

Psirens rewritten solely by Rob Grant; a Psiren tricks Kryten into crushing himself into a garbage compactor, except here Kryten is brutally squashed by the hydraulic press as we here him screaming in pain as sparks fly and his eyes fly out and face explodes resulting in Kryten suffering a million agonies. Cat makes a tasteless joke shortly afterwards.

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Sidetracked into a Series VIII discussion 2 pages in

[Bargain Bin Holly]

TIKKA TO DIE

Tikka to Ride rewritten solely by Rob Grant; the episode is entirely the same except we get a close-up of JFK getting killed by himself, he misses several times resulting in JFK’s innards being burst open in a hail of gunfire as his face gets blown in half while he is still moving as the limousine serves into a vat of acid resulting in JFK suffering a million agonies. Cat makes a tasteless joke shortly afterwards.

[Bargain Bin Holly]

EPIDICK

Epideme rewritten solely by Rob Grant; the Epideme virus concentrates itself entirely within Lister’s cock. Long story short, Lister’s reproductive system suffers a million agonies. Cat makes a tasteless joke shortly afterwards.

[Bargain Bin Holly]

OUROGOREOS

Ouroboros rewritten solely by Rob Grant; when Kochanski holds onto Lister’s cap, Lister’s jaw proceeds to rip off his face resulting in a fountain of blood to spurt out as Lister suffers a million agonies. Cat makes a tasteless joke shortly afterwards.

[Bargain Bin Holly]

You must feel pretty stupid now, eh?

>I liked the mix & match aspect of III where he had t-shirts, shirts or jackets appropriate to the situation.

Rimmer still sorta does that; he wore that nice looking bathrobe in a couple episodes but I definitely see your point

[Bargain Bin Holly]

He did have a hat in Series III & IV that nobody mentions; so we could have an opportunity for a callback there

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Can of Worms was a fine episode, nothing particularly wrong with it

[Bargain Bin Holly]

That vending machine who hates immigrant vending machines – Rimmer
That vending machine that hit Rimmer over the head with a soda can – Kryten

[Bargain Bin Holly]

That vending machine whose logo Lister groped – Rimmer

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Who says Snacky didn’t vote in Mechocracy? Maybe Snacky doesn’t like making his political preferences public.

Though we’d all know he would have voted for Rimmer.

We should do a tally of the list of robots abroad Red Dwarf and speculate who they voted for:

Snacky – Rimmer
Talkie Toaster – Kryten
That vending machine Lister fucked – Kryten
Bob the Skutter – Kryten
Shaft 6 – Kryten

[Bargain Bin Holly]

[Bargain Bin Holly]

CAT BAGS A PRISON BITCH

Re-title for Only the Good that appears on the Laserdisc release

[Bargain Bin Holly]

He’s only seventy, he’s still got the strength within him; of course it’ll take a decade off his life per episode but Norman’s mom didn’t raise no bitch

[Bargain Bin Holly]

OUT OF GRANT

Episode that isn’t co-written by Rob Grant cause Doug wouldn’t let him write-in the sex scene he wanted involving Cat and his hook dick

[Bargain Bin Holly]

FORWARDS

Backwards but played forwards

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Nah Nate Naylor; I was skeptical at first but than he revealed to me the real reason why Grant Naylor split and I soon grew to trust his information

[Bargain Bin Holly]

I DMed Naylor; unfortunately the naked uniform is exclusive to the stage play

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Insider Scoop:

If Norman Lovett says he’ll be in Series XIII, he really means he’ll be appearing as Snacky; who has been brought back as a main character but who’s original actor was unavailable

[Bargain Bin Holly]

>-nothing

Already happened, see profile pic

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Watched it, he looks red to me. Sir, is it possible you could’ve made a mis-smelling?

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Someone should photoshop Rimmer and change his outfit from blue to purple and tell the results

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Just to clarify, I’m not suggesting I dislike Rimmer’s current ensemble, I quite like it actually and I have no problem with it in X, XI, and XII.

[Bargain Bin Holly]

>From experience, people barely give half a passing shit if you only show them The End.

I’ve been wondering about this too, I got my mom to watch the entire show chronologically which is how I got into the show too.

But I’ve been meaning to get my friends into it tho I know for damn sure their attention spans are smaller than last census taken for Antarctica; so I’ll probably use an episode like Demons & Angels or Psirens to get their attention whenever I get around to it.
