Not impressed one little bit. Not funny, not well written and not well acted.

Dont think Ive ever been more let down by a TV series. Still it doesn't detract from the fact that I can always dig the originals out..!!

Thanks for the look out guys won't be watching these. I intended to keep my red dwarf to seasons 1 - 6 as is right.

You're a fool not to watch 7 and 8 to be honest, especially 8 which is actually pretty good.

You'd also be quite mad not to watch Back to Earth too in my opinion. Yea, it's bad as far as Red Dwarf goes, but it's better than a lot of crap on telly these days and it's nice to see them back together again. Plus it's only like 75 mins long anyway.
 
^^
+1 for that, watch them..

what I can't believe is the sets aren't cgi. They looked CGI'd on tv.

I also think it would work far better on dvd with no adverts and hopefully by dvd release they will let an audience watch it and get the laughter.
 
Watching these new episodes, I was thinking surely this isn't how they are going to end it? But thank god they gave it a decent ending.
 
I feel redeemed in sticking with it. Final part felt much more like the Red Dwarf of old in terms of the themes, though they could have gagged it up a bit more. Slightly annoying that we're back to square one in terms of how this bit started with the '9 years later' caption, and that the series 8 conclusion still isn't explained.

Fingers crossed that we get answers with a new mini-series, or at least a special finalé. If the storyline can be given as strong a finish as this three-parter then there's certainly hope. They just need to make it... well, funny again.

If you have season 8 dvd, watch the special features, theres an alternate scene/ending that finishes it off quite well.

Your assuming that I've not seen 7 and 8 which of course I have being a die hard fan.. there about 2 good episodes in both them so I am in my right to give them a wide birth and remeber simple classics such as deamons and angels, rimmer world, marroned, back to reality..... And i've not even quoted any of the truly legendary episodes.

So I am infact with in my right disreguard them as a quick way for the bbc to make a buck or 2. Actually its been ages since I've watched them so i might have to dig them out.
 
Have to say, the 3rd episode was by far the better of the three. Rimmer humping the corner of the table and Kryten with the rakes, à la Sideshow Bob, was bloody hilarious. I'm also glad they explained just what Cat was doing with those sweet wrappers he was leaving around the place, that had me baffled.

One of the things I didnt like in the old series, was rimmer wasn't the same rimmer, he turned into ace and we were left with a copy rimmer, boo.

mmmm so your saying that you did;'nt like rimmer through the whole of 1-6 ??? are you quite mad? quite possibly one of the funniest characters ever to be in british TV
or have I got what your saying wrong?

In our world, the writers are 'jumping the shark'. They have ran out of ideas so are introducing new weird plot devices, like making it back to earth, and lister speaking chinese. Katrina might be a new character introduced to bolster 'failing ratings' ala scrappy doo?

This would explain why so many things don't make sense. However, somehow they escape reality X and it all goes back to normal.

What do you think?

I said last night after watching the second part that the only things missing were a shark and water skis. It does seem like they're taking this as an extended dvd advert though.

For me atleast that alternate ending finished it off, they should have used that instead of the original.

Nah I did like him, what I meant was to me he wasn't one of the original 4, and to me felt like a new person, as he had no experience of all years where they were on there own, if that makes sense?

Who are you referring to as the original 4? The first two series were just Rimmer, Cat, Holly and Lister...
