Red Dwarf 9

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I've not seen part 3 (though Wiki spoiled it.. I should have known better!) but I remember feeling quite sick at the meta-story aspect in Part 2.. also, the lack of laugh track, the soft lighting and multiple camera angles.. just smacked of Dr Who to me (the new series of which I also dislike) instead of the usual low-budget laughs of old Dwarf.

That said.. it's f**king new Red Dwarf, I'm still gonna love it anyway.

I love the new look... a lot of CGI makes up for lack of studio space
(see the making of special aired after part three) and the Blade
Runner homage was stretched a bit... but still funny. :D

I'm sure some people did not like the alternate Kochanski of season
seven or when the Dwarfers went Back in the Red in season
eight... I loved it because it was at least still on... and still funny! :wink:

BTW -- I love Doctor Who... all of 'em! ;D

Yeah... still no Clare Grogan... and according to Wikipedia, when asked
to join the crew for series seven, "she declined in order to focus on
stage acting". I wondered what had happened.

So they had to replace her and Chloë Annett was a good choice.
Despite the initial surprise in series seven... I feel that she held her
own rather well with the Boys of the Dwarf! 8)

I was, however, hoping to see more of her in this new series! :(

Oh well... we cannot have everything... like a new Sisters record! :lol:

We struggled with it at first... then we were ok and I think there should/will be another series!
