    The Nanobots rebuilt Red Dwarf as a favour to the crew. Since they knew Lister and Kochanski were already there, there was no need to resurrect them.

      Plus, Lister never died. He also kept Kochanski's ashes stored separately from the other crew members in the hope that he could find a way to revive her. Presumably, they were aboard Starbug, and therefore not on Red Dwarf for the nanobots to resurrect.

      For me personally the introduction of katchanski never worked. I can think of great lines from every other character. But can't think of a genuinely funny moment from katchanski. Moaning about pineapple chunks or plumbing? I never got the character. They seemed to be trying to push a will they? Won't they? Thing with her and lister. But there was absolutely no chemistry. And it just made him look like a simp and her look grumpy

    @JohnDoe-vy6ju 4 місяці тому +5

    For all the flak S8 gets, it starts off pretty strong. Obviously the best news is that Chris Barrie/Rimmer is back, though he is "reset" back to the point he was when he was alive. Similar to the second hologram of him in Me2, he's "factory fresh" and fully smegheaded. Mac MacDonald is back to stay as Capt. Hollister, and Lister's old drinking crew even pops up. Well, 2/3 of it anyway. Unfortunately Mark Williams/Petersen was by now busy being Papa Weasley in the Harry Potter films, so he didn't turn up alongside Selby & Chen. There's a lot of "back to the start" in the beginning of S8: the first visual being Lister and Rimmer again stuck in a bunk bed together was not accidental, its a return to the roots of the show and re-establishing that Lister vs Rimmer dynamic that was the axis of the show in the beginning years. Red Dwarf has never fully "rebooted" but this is another "reset" and start of a new era of the show.
    The ship is back, Rimmer's back, Holly's back, even Capt. Hollister and the crew are back. The potential and promise is wide open, and it was fascinating to see what they did with it, even though I didn't always like it. Even though I've been down a lot on S8 in the comments, it still has some of those bright spot moments that only Red Dwarf could manage.

    Hologram Rimmer was never really alive. It was a computer program inside a light beam that buzzed around, simulating the personality of the late Rimmer that was on disk. I think the whole idea of an on-ship hologram was to help the crew get over the loss of a friend or loved one.
    It's always been my theory that HOLLY tweaked the Rimmer hologram to make it more antagonistic, competitive, theatrical, entertaining, weaselly and to have it not learn from its experiences or grow and develop like the real Rimmer would have. I think HOLLY programmed it to be like that so that Lister would stay sane. If the real Rimmer had been stuck with only Lister on Red Dwarf, he probably would have walked off and rarely made contact with him. Let's not forget, Hologram Rimmer had over 600 years worth of experiences from Rimmerworld, and yet, he still behaved like that 21-year-old "smeghead" from the first episode. He hadn't grown or developed at all, which wouldn't have been possible with a real person.
    Now we're getting the chance to see the real Rimmer, who is capable of learning and growing, who might be more compassionate, more of a friend to Lister and unaffected by HOLLY's programming. When Lister and Rimmer are sitting next to each other in the brig, I noticed an awkwardness, a level of respect and a slight lack of confidence with Lister that I hadn't seen before. Maybe it was good writing, clever acting or maybe I'm over-analysing this?

    I do tend to shit on season 8 a lot (and I mean A LOT) but I think it's just that the humour gets even more laddish in this one, I do not like most of these jokes, so much so that I actually do tend to skip an episode this season that I find genuinely too distasteful, which is something I never thought I would say. I think there are some good jokes in here, even ones that net a cheap laugh out of me and I think the premise of this was very, very interesting, especially the last episode of this one. All in all, there are some ups and downs, but get through this and then you're back into decent territory (well, some have mixed opinions about the special, I think it's fantastic)

    There is definitely a tone shift from the early seasons that showed the Red Dwarf crew. Everyone played it straight in early series but in series 8 every single character is cartoony. As for Rimmer, I don't think this Rimmer in series 8 actually is like the old Rimmer from series 1 and 2, he is much more mellow in series 8 even though i'm sure he is supposed to be the original Rimmer resurrected.

    Decent start to series 8. With you both on wanting the Rimmer of old back. With all his growth as a person, it really does feel like reverting to a very basic version. I loved the "Kryten to Factory Settings" analogy.
    Really looking forward to your take on this series. Tikka to Ride was a very high bar. Backwards, Camille, Holoship and Psirens were all great first episodes of their respective series too.

Holly has some brilliant quotes in this episode too, my favourite is "I hope we don't get stopped by the cops, they don't like it when you're rat-arsed", which is a British slang term for being drunk!😄😄😄

    In the opening sequence, it was meant to be Lister's cat Frankenstein they, er, encountered in the vents, but they ran out of budget so they made it a CGI rat instead. They also blew a lot of the budget on Starbug exploding, hence why it appears so much in the opening credits to get their money's worth (same thing happened in Stargate SG-1 when they blew up a pyramid). Series 8 is very different but IMO it does come with some of the best dialogue in the whole show, as we'll see.

    Lister wasn't reconstructed because he didn't die. I think the best argument for why Kochanski didn't get revived is that she slipped off the ship to live with the Lister from the double double future, just before the accident. (Stasis Leak).

    This is the series I've been most anticipating you watching. It's very girl-unfriendly and you two are... well, girls. Note that everyone's suddenly a cartoon character and, crucially, the ending is more than a bit r*pey. That's going to be a recurring "gag" throughout this horrible season.
    Also fun to see Kat's nonplussed face when a gag is a prisoner with green hair and piercings. There is ONE decent episode in this run, but it's almost an accident. Never noticed Kochanski being different before, but I guess I saw it with the broadcast gap, rather than just the next week.

      Totally agree. Series 8 is a real low. Back To Earth is wonky for sure... but at least it has a soul. It's at about something again and Craig in particular gives an astonishing performance. S8 is a unpleasant cartoon of half baked, quickly cobbled together stories that rarely make much sense - either in plot or character terms.

It can't be expected to be on the level of something like this, which was Red Dwarf produced (almost) continuously and still on the BBC with some cash behind it.
      I quite like the idea that when the crew is restored all their freedom that they've taken for granted is suddenly removed, but after a couple of episodes... where does it go from there? There is ONE decent S8 episode though, IMO, beginning with the letter C.

    You all nailed it right on the head. Series 8 isn't "bad" per se. The characters are all still completely in character, and there's still a lot of decent humor. But it just didn't feel quite like Red Dwarf any more this season. And with "Series 9" really just being the standalone mini-movie, it wasn't until Series 10 that I was really truly and properly hyped for Red Dwarf again.

    When you were wondering if we would ever see Red Dwarf again a few weeks/months ago, you never dreamed we'd be seeing this much of it, did you? 😀 Re: The no duplicates of Lister and Kochanski, in Nanarchy, Lister and Kochanski are aboard Starbug when Kryten instructs the nanobots to turn the planetoid back into Red Dwarf, there was no need for the nanobots to reconstruct either of them. Though they arguably could have been responsible for Kochanski's otherwise unexplained makeover. 😂

    I'm glad you noticed that there should have been two Kochanskis! Chloe Annett was dyeing her hair in series 7 to look more like Clare Grogan (the original Kochanski) and they decided she didn't need to anymore. I'm always going to be in favour of actors and actresses not needing to stick with changes to their appearance if they aren't necessary.
    I have mixed feelings on this season but Captain Hollister being back is a big highlight.

    Yeah series 8 is and odd one, I don't outright hate it, but it's definitely a complete tonal shift. It does eventually go back to what you'd expect Red Dwarf to be in later seasons but if I remember correctly, in a draft or two of the unproduced Red Dwarf Movie, series 8 would have lead into the movie, which was then changed to be a complete reboot in later drafts. (I maybe completely misremembering this, but there were apparently A LOT of drafts for the unproduced movie so...😂)

    "" I Just love how she changed her hair "".. NOW Kat is starting to appreciate the continuity errors the right way..
    Just to say; A lot of people fall in love with a show and don't deal well with changes in the narrative, but.. They often don't realize that they'd probably appreciate the show less if they DIDN'T reinvent themselves on occasion. But don't worry; They will continue to ignore continuity (especially script-wise) so no new trope ever last forever.. It may bea couple of episodes or a couple of seasons, but.. The only constant is change..
    It is the series after this one that I personally really don't like.. I mean.. I KIND of appreciated it and enjoyed watching it; I just would've preferred if it was considered to be an offshoot or some form of "Comic relief" special or what not.. instead of being part of the canon.

Don't know if they cut it for DVD and streaming, or I misremember it) in 8 there are several parts that were just crazy funny and several story lines that were just great. There were a few truly bad episodes too though.
