It always cracked me up how Lister thought they were in Bulgaria. xD
Count me in for those that enjoyed X but thought Back to Earth was awful and 7&8 weak.
Hell even the much praised Season 6 was a mixed bag for me. Some gems in there and Out of Time was a great finale but by 6 formula and a (IMO) strange complatency had set in.
1-5 are absolute classics though.

Well, the thing about a black hole - it's main distinguishing feature - is it's black. And the thing about space, the color of space, your basic space color - is it's black. So how are you supposed to see them?

I watched and enjoyed these immensely when I was younger. I'm really not sure what I watched them on considering there wasn't On demand type content and I'm from the states. But damn I remember raucously laughing. I should get back into it again soon. I think I only watched the first three or four Seasons and I'd imagine I'll appreciate them significantly more since I'm in my mid 20's now.

Thanks, I'll follow this guide.
"...rich in animal produce and mineral wealth, just south of Bosnia."
I've had this username, or variations, for years. Every once in a while, someone gets the reference, but in this thread it's hardly surprising.
One of the best gags in that episode is the Wilma Flintstone conversation.

I've watched every single episode at least twice. It's an awesome TV show with a brilliant cast.
I'm really looking forward to the new series.

2) White Hole
3) Polymorph / Holoship
Yeah I cheated, in true Rimmer fashion.
Will the X onwards ever go on netflix? It annoys me I just loop through s2-s5 forevermore. I've only watched X once.

"I'm going to whip you to within an inch of your life and then...I'm going to have you"
Why?
Because....I'm not a very nice person.
Justice is also an episode I think of very fondly. The case for Rimmer's innocence is amazing.
"Would you describe the accused as a friend"
"Take the fifth!"
I had watched RD so many times before i decided 'Let's pause this and actually read the text'
I had a good laugh when it actually explained everything between s2 and s3.

Nah I'd describe the accused as a git.
Looking through the quotes for the episode, every cast member has at least one amazing line.

Season X was the shit. I loved every episode of that season no exclusion. Can't bloody wait for XI

D.N.A is still one of my favourites -

Reiterating what others have said, 1-6 is worth watching. some very funny/fun sci-fi comedy.
Everything from then on felt like a very unfunny entirely different show. Haven't seen 10 tho.
Pretty sure Rob Grant was the funny one of the two main writers since he left after 6.

One of my favourite lines is never mentioned...
"Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb."

10 has Doug Naylor's son co-writing. Its definitely a lot funnier and more consistent with the rest of the series (as in 1-6
X has Lemons. great episode.

Did Grant just stop having anything to do with the show?

So what is it?
After he finished his time on the show directly, he wrote another book.
The book continuity is confusing. It's the same overall setup as the show with the same storylines, but some differences and some situations where the book and series diverge, along with some places where storylines from individual episodes on the television cross over in the book. Add to that that after the second book (the second one written by 'Grant Naylor', there's *two* third books, one by Rob Grant (Backwards), the other by Doug Naylor (Last Human)

Yeah, I actually read the books. I'm just surprised that he didn't bother coming back, if only to write some kind of reunion special episode or something.
You'll be happy to know it was mentioned in post #36. Great line!

2 > 3 > 4 > 1 > 5 > X > 6 > 8 > 7 > BTE.
6 is when it really started to drop in quality for me. I know people love the schoolboy fantasy of playing cowboys in Gunmen of the Apocalypse, but I didn't think that series overall was that great - moving on to Starbug made the show less unique to me and the GELFs thing, which was a work around for the premise of a universe without aliens again made it less unique because they were now running into "aliens" every episode by this point. I prefered the conversational type comedy of the earlier seasons rather than monster of the week episodes.
Better Than Life, Thanks for the Memory, Queeg, Stasis Leak, Marooned, Backwards, Timeslides, Camille, White Hole - these are the kind of episodes I go back for.

Thankski veryski muchski budski.
A joke I rarely hear spoken about but one I always enjoy. Kryten's delivery and Rimmer's reaction is so good.
As bad as that would be I think having a spew would be 1000x worse.

You like the same sort of episodes as me, so i guess i gotta check out series X then.

"Oh Mr Lister everyone takes towels from hotels."
"I took the entire suite"
I was a proper little Dwarfer as a kid, in fact I still have the Tongue Tied VHS on a shelf & may even have the comic/magazine collection squirreled away somewhere.
