Not brilliant IMO, felt a bit tired
and that whole Lister / Hitler jamming thing was a cringefest. Since when could lister play the guitar anyway?

Like the ghost of Hendrix
Is anyone seriously expecting any semblance of continuity in Red Dwarf?!... Lister has had about 4 different origins, his appendix removed twice, his relationship with Kochanski rewritten. Rimmer has had his last words changed etc.
They just write whatever they feel like at the time. You have to just accept it.

Can't say I was a fan of the first episode, I know they film infront of a live audience but the canned laughter is getting to be too much imo.
Watched the first episode last night. I'm not sure what to think of it... some moments I was horrified but some genuinely made me laugh.
Regardless it was good to see them again, personally I'd rather they focussed on the crew and their situation for an episode rather than bring other people into it, just to get grounded with what's going on a little bit more. I'm hoping the rest of the season gets better.
The Hitler actor... it was too much, it just got cringy and uncomfortable, and the guitar scene went on too long as if the director had no self awareness. Also moments like the beginning card game, the crew when they were younger maybe would have pulled it off but it just seemed a bit tired.

Second episode was rubbish imo. One of the weakest.

Man, can't believe they keep going with this.
I was as big as Red Dwarf fan as you could get back in the day, had all the books, T-Shirts, bloopers VHS tapes etc etc...
Loved it to death.
But it really needs to go away now.
I mean, is adding camp characters what passes for comedy these days?
And wasn't it always about loneliness and being lost in space. Stop adding a new cast of characters each episode.
I dunno.... maybe I just grew up.
I'll keep the Red Dwarf Posse as they are in my mind, from seasons 1-6

Whoa, whoa, whoa...
No.
I think Season 4 was the best, but season 3 had some of the best episodes/moments.
'Marooned' was simply amazing, how funny they could be, just the two of them in Starbug. "I almost dropped me skateboard". "12?! You can't have been a fully paid up member of the Golf course?"
'Polymorph', perhaps some of the best moment ever. "The only problem with that is the abbreviation is..."

Don't forget series 5 had the inquisitor and Back to Reality (wasn't that voted best ever?) plus others
For me it's
2 - Better Than Life, Queeg, Stasis Leak, Thanks for the Memory, Kryten. Easily the best imo. However the last episode is possibly the worst ever imo

11- really liked it.
5
4
7- hit and miss.
3. Really think it's one of the weakest, Marooned aside. Not a fan of Bodyswap or tineslides.
8- still has its moments. Cassandra is a very good episode. Up with the best.
I think every series has its moments tbh... And every series has its duds. I really liked the most recent series. I thought it was very strong overall.

I didn't even mention Quarantine - in series 5. Just checked a list of "the best episodes ever" and it was No1. No 2 was Back to Reality. And the brilliant Inquisitor was an underrated 7th. And the remaining three were also top quality.
