Hey! I own a Minecraft server :P

NEEERD!

Just because you never played it :P

You goddamn creature start updating this before I start updating it for you

I will do it

Do not tempt me

There will be

Just you wait and see

Let's see... when The Cat lost his cool on Red Dwarf, they had to kill the Emohawk before he got it back... oh, wait... there's no Emohawk in this story.

Incidentally that was the worst episode in the first 6 seasons because all it did cash in on funny jokes from earlier episodes.

I agree. It was a sin that Red Dwarf committed increasingly as the series progressed. I also view with suspicion the weird way Cat suddenly seems to have gained competence of a sort in series 6 and 7.

I can't say I was so much bothered by Cat becoming more competent because there were even shades of that in series 5 which I thought the shows peak, I took that is more him adapting to survive in his situation, he still didn't know what have of the things in the cockpit did which was jokes about a few times. What bothered me more in how hit series 8 everyone became so mind numbingly stupid that it's a wonder they knew how to breath in and out.

Series 8 was so bad that in the three-part "Back to Earth" series that has become retroactively series 9, they specifically wrote series 8 out of the canon -- it never happened. Good riddance. Although there were funny moments, it was another series entirely, and not Red Dwarf at all. The plots were over-complicated too -- I didn't exactly know what the hell was going on until I watched at least two times, maybe three.

Unfortunately series 8 is still cannon, maybe due to fan protests about the open cliffhanger it seems like Doug Naylor has admitted that his written in an explanation for things that happened after series 8 cliff hanger in the 6th episode of the new series (how indepth it is I don't know). However it sounds like they are going more back to the format of the mid series because people at the filming are saying season 10 is more reminiscent of 5......so hears hoping.

To tell the truth, I don' think Grant or Naylor ever quite understood the series or its success -- evidence seems to show they saw RD from the beginning as just a parody of science fiction, not a highly original science fiction premise in its own right, whose integrity they whittled away at until it had worn altogether through by series 8.

Well there is also the fact that Rob Grant left after series 6, at which point Doug Naylor at the time was inexperienced at writing alone causing series 7 to fall more into the dramady genre, and when fans complained it wasn't comedic enough he completely swerved into bottom of the barrel farcical humour involving pet robot penis' and dinosaur poo. Set reports and test screenings of the new series seem to suggest that the new episode seem to have the balance right now (or at least closer to what it was) so we can only hope that's right. While I like what I've heard of what coming later in the year I will reserve my opinion until I actually see it, I want it to be good but the show is on it's last chance for me.

I didn't mind the more dramatic epsodes -- I presume you mean ones like "Oroburoros" where Lister "creates" himself. I thought it rather poignant if not done too often or too seriously. The Uber-Ace Rimmer one was a bit thick, though, and didn't make much sense. How could there be all those billions of Ace Rimmers when the original only started it all about three years earlier?

I have a theory about the Ace Rimmer thing that makes more sense, however I'll note you on that because I don't wanna say anymore on it here because it might be over doing it already

Oh well, it could have been worse, they could have turned him into a ChrisChan parody

I thought ChrisChan was cool now?

damn I am out of touch, I didn't know the geekdom of today society had sunk that far yet.

Wha-? Buh?!
