Not seeing "almost in half" here
Of course, if you go back to the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories, Moriarty wasn't in very many of them. Each story or novel had a new villian to uncover.
"Hurwitz has syndication dollar signs in the eyes and is desperately trying to make the magic number of 100 episodes so it can be aired on TV Land until Doomsday"
Do you actually know that for certain, or are you just speculating?
As for the Original Cut vs. the Remix, there were some things in each that worked better. I actually found the "four-version-voting-situation" funnier in the Re-mix as we "saw how the sausage was made" - to borrow a phrase from Tobias.
A few things that didn't work in the Remix, in my opinion: The scene where Lucille was smoking inside the condo and then blowing the smoke into Buster's mouth, went on for far too long. Also, there was too much of the Narrator talking over characters and saying the exact same thing that they were. Some of the jokes got lost when they were split off into separate episodes (unlike in past seasons, where I felt the callbacks were stronger and more easily recollected) - jokes like in the first episode of season 4:
Tobias singing "Who's that gal I see/No it's just a fallaceeeeeeee!" and then asking what that was from, and the Narrator replying "It was from nothing." And then, when George Michael, across the room, hears Tobias singing this and also wonders what it's from. Maeby says it's from nothing. That, and Maeby's coughing, got lost when separated across many episodes in the Remix.
Both versions got better as the seasons progressed and plot lines came together.
Regarding season five, as you say, George Sr.'s reason for attempted suicide isn't clear, I think it has to do with his loss of manhood. During the next part of the season, I'd like to see George Sr. return to his former awful self. (PS: There was a winking nod to Transparent when the Narrator said that George Sr. would not win any awards for his portrayal of a woman - Jefferey Tambor won a Golden Globe award and two Emmys for his role on that show)
You probably opened a bottle of vodka and didn't want it to go bad
I watched the eight episode when Netflix first put them out, but not since. I'll watch them again and then comment.
I will say though, one thing that sort of left me puzzled was how did George Sr. manage to drop himself and that heavy anchor way out in the middle of the bay?
Did someone say "wonder"?
Am I crazy, or is this good?
It's possible that Murphy Brown - if he was named after the TV show character - is four years younger than the actor who plays him (who was born in 1984; Murphy Brown didn't hit the air until 1988), meaning Murph was born no more than 34 years ago.
Most likely it'll turn out to be someone we've already met. Lucille Austero, perhaps? Though if the characters are roughly the same age as the actors who play them, Lucille 2 would've had Murphy when she was around 38. Not impossible, but improbable.
Never watched Entourage either, but I read about the " And Jeremy Piven" reference
I forget which season 5 episode it is now - maybe the one with the Howard family barbecue - but Rebel is with George Michael and mentions something about cousins. So now I'm convinced more than ever that George Michael and Rebel are related.
From the Maeby episode of the Original Cut of AD:
10. "...get a little Mexican in me." She was referring to Perfecto, not the tacos Donny Richter had bought.
11. The "Harris" of "George Maharris" came from Maeby's mispronunciation of "heiress"
12. At the Opie Awards, second reference to Zack and Cody during season 4.
Don't be a ding-dong, you shirt hole.
125. If you're a gay college football player pretending to be straight while trying to get drafted by the NFL, don't get caught on film making out with a guy.
126. If you're a gay college football player pretending to be straight, don't get Casey to pretend to be your girlfriend.
127. If you're pretending to be the girlfriend of a supposedly-straight college football player, don't trust Lydia with how much money you're supposed to receive.
128. Steve Guttenberg is forgetful, and will not remember to cancel the catering to his own birthday party.
129. Don't trust a guy named Garland Greenbush to win your kickball game.
130. Baretta was called "Baretta" because he was Italian, not because he owned a beretta.
131. Roman has written three scripts and two novels - he's actually half-way through four novels, so that's TWO novels!
132. Constance was very popular in high school.
133. You know what they say about a gun in the first act...
134. If you piss off Leonard Stiltskin, he will sh*t down your throat... or down your bazooka hole... or somewhere unpleasant.
135. Henry has really skinny arms and legs.
136. We are definitely putting out the tip jar tonight!
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.
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.

Episode three is my favorite one of the new series. I haven't laughed out loud at a Red Dwarf episode like that in a long time - the part with Cat and the CritCop.
i was annoyed by Eleanor's unwillingness to get onboard. I mean, suuuuure you absolutely cannot trust Michael, but C'MON, just trust Michael so that they can get going with the plan!
