Everyone is dead Dave! Vs No one is dead Arnold!


Episode 6, amazingly brings back some old favourite actors.

What did you think of episode 6?

reply

It was probably the best episode of series 12 - though it would've been interesting if they left Rimmer in that last reality, maybe through the next series. it would've given the show a fresh direction to go in.

Interesting idea.

As for fresh, I like the status quo. I just want more of the same, witty well written self contained episodes. I don't want a different direction or story arcs with a definite end. That would kill the show.

Give me Lemons or Krysis any day!!!

Don't know why, but it seems like the episodes are more rushed. For instance (and this is an imperfect description), something happens which takes up a good chunk of the episode, which leads to something else happening which is what the main thrust of the episode is about. And the first thing that happens isn't related to the rest of the episode. Seems a lot more clunky than how the older episodes used to run.

I read they only do a few episodes and so far apart because of huge time, budget and limited time in scheduling of actors to have simultaneous free time for Red Dwarf.

To me, it's what makes it special. It's never been a high budget unrushed show.
