red dwarf: back to earth

just watched it.

 

damn shame.

haven't seen but i heard it's shit. The Times absolutely slated it too. Curses.

I avoided reading new posts on this thread until I'd seen all 3 episodes...which I have now done.

The big tentacle monster just made me want to watch 'Back to Reality' (the one with the suicide squid), which is one of the best episodes ever.

I didn't expect it to actually be another hallucination-inducing squid.

I didn't like the self-referential stuff, or the blade runner references...or any of it really.

I personally found that a bit weird too. I tohught there was gonna be 4 of them. I've seen all 3 now and wanted to see more.

also

 

something i forgot to mention that struck me

 

Oh yeah, I watched this earlier, and yeah, it unsurprisingly sucked.

 

The only really good bits occurred when the crew had just entered our reality and the comments they made on our technology.

Meh, just meh. I should imagine there will be another special, if not, another series. I'll probably watch that too, and also be unsurprised with how much it sucks.

On the subject of the laugh track, I can only imagine that in post-production they made two versions (one with canned laughter) and decided to go without. To be fair, canned laughter would've probably got as much bad-press as a lack of canned laughter.

remind me of the time i introduced my friend to Arrested Development

 

 

he didnt like it because of the laugh track....

lack of, you mean? arrested development is one of my favourite shows but people i show it to tend to hate it :P

I couldn't make it through the entire first episode. I've been a fan of Red Dwarf since I was a littlun and this depressed me.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT FTW

 

Chicken Dance.
