Well I sat through all 9 seasons(if you could call them that) of the highly aclaimed(by who or is it whom?) I don't know and was left wanting I have questions as well might you if you tortured yourself by watching as least 48 'sodes of this smeg in one sitting ... well the last episde only left me wondering about one thing: was Thomas Magnum really Robbin Masters ? did Tweeky really go out with Erin Gray (who or is it whom my daughter was named after Erin Gray) ? Did T'Pol really have a serious crush on her captain - you know the guy who did all those 'sodes with Dean Stockwell - oh c'ummon Dean Stockwell was the guy who played the Mean Cylon Dude on Battlestar Galactica ... and finally on Lexx, why did it only last 4 seasons - I mean despite poor plots, the fact that the last two seasons seem to be written by Elton John's gayer brother and the fact that Stanley Tweedle was never gonna get the girl even in his dreams.... Okay okay one more question: what is the meaning of life the universe and everything? If you say 42 I'll have to assume you didn't read the whole book - or watch the whole mini-series. and finally why did my English teacher ever have the pomposity to believe she was qualified to teach me to count. 

So I guess my real question is : Are ther gonna be any more 'sodes?  

You know, reading the topic subject I thought you were talking about a girl Ang25 and I once met at a supermarket in Rhode Island or was it Connecticut? But really, I don’t have a clue what in the world you’re talking about! Obviously it’s some TV show.

What the hell has this to do with Red Dwarf,the finest SF comedy EVER produced?As for the Answer 42 why not ask your question in a more coherent manner at the only online guide to the universe that counts because the author helped to set it up.

You will find it at the BBC online site under h2g2. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/

As for episodes WHICH programme are you reffering to?Because Robert Adams had sadly left us and Red Dwarf just had 4 brand new episodes shown UK digital TV  at Easter.I'm fairly certain they will be out on DVD before long.

Are you sure you've been watching Red Dwarf?????

As for 42 - you obviously don't understand the question.

 wtf is red dwarf?

http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/news/index.cfm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dwarf

Just to do my usual trick of subverting every post about to be about me, me, me....my (late) brother was the VFX designer on Red Dwarf (last 3 series) and on Hitch Hiker; I used to be a model maker on both, thanks to him!

Quote - So I guess my real question is : Are ther gonna be any more 'sodes?

You'd have to ask Dave about that.

"Goodmorning, Dave."

Quest, tsk tsk, so not PC. And was she red? And yes, it was Rhode Island, not Conn.

LOL...you know me and PC...I just don't care for or believe in it. Red as in a tossing football you mean?

:b_grin:

Bryster: the question is, what is "6 times 9"? which led the main character in "the hitchhikers guide ..." - no not Zaphred Breeblebrox that other guy - you know the one who hung around with that Ford Prefect guy to come to the conclusion that there's something fundimentally flawed with the universe.  

...

I would ask Dave Lister but as we all know, "Dave's not here."  Four new to me episodes, eh? makes me feel as rich as knowing Bender's last name. 

...

Wel,l Rayraz after watching over forty eps of it over the last weekend I feel totally unqualifed to form cohesive sentances let alone answer your question which to the best of my recollection had something to do with whether it was a male turtle or a female turtle - however I'll try.

Well you see there's this giant mining space ship named Red Dwarf and I don't think I'd be assuming too much if I were to venture a guess that the series derived it's name from that, where this Ritter guy messes up his assignment and thus kills his whole crew except this ner- do-well named Dave Lister(think Tim Curry only funnier and not as threatening) and his genetically mutated cat (think Little Richard only straight and not so noisy) and this Guy named Arnold Rimmer who can only be described as a smeghead who died too but was reincarnated as a hologram. well there's a lot more but I wouldn't wanna ruin it for you besides  
once you see the Tim Curry analogy the currey jokes take on a whole new meaning.
 

O.K. so you think you  know Red Dwarf, eh?
Well alrighty then !!!! who played the following:

Einstein?
Hitler?
Marilyn Monroe?
John Kennedy?
Ace Rimmer?
Oswald?
Hollie?
 

Well I was going to answer at least one of the questions as "42" . Yes, I did stop reading because I saw no further reason to continue after I had learned the answer to the ultimate question.  Anything beyond that is dribble: same as media telling me what I just heard a politician say.

I do not have cable or satellite dish.  I own the entire set of dvd of Battlestar Galactica but the final episodes have not been release.  If anyone here spoils the ending of the series for me I will "frakkin' waste you"

Have I been drinking too much of bikermouse's stuff???  my head hurts.

my head hurts as well. and i have no idea at all what you people talk about :lol:

Arthur Dent and yes, the question was flawed...or was that the answer?

I think the real answer is to read all the Hitchikers' books....but avoid cricket.

As for Red Dwarf, I got bored with it after the first series.

...or just throw yourself to the ground... and miss...;)

I actually did read all the Hitchhiker's books, and 42 is in there all right. You might as well ask about all the 47's in Star Trek episodes (yes, there's even a site devoted to it).

T'pol eventually had a thang goin' on for Charles IIi (trip) Tucker. That was a wasted opportunity; had they let the guy running season 4 start season 1, it might have lasted a full 7 years.

I've seen a couple episodes of Red Dwarf on PBS (Petroleum's British Syndicate - recycling made pixelated...;) Since they were somewhere in the middle of the series, I was a bit lost. There's a Red Dwarf model out there if you want to do some renderin'.

Maybe someday I'll find some online episodes of 'Blake's 7'...;)

I should talk; I just found out that there's a place on Youtube called startrekepisodes...so i've been perusing my faves...;)

Thanx! that clears it up a little

**skiwillgee,
I got my BSG from scifi.com ... it's one of the few they released for free but you had to keep up ... I think it's too late now but they might do a recap ... also Hulu might have them  and O.K. I won't tell you that Kara Thrase was actually Robin Masters, The mean cylon guy from Quantum Leap was having an affair with President Rosalin or that Captain Pirk kicks Sheriepie's bum in star wreck 5 (or was it 6) and that Bender's last name is Rodriguez.
well six of one half dozen of another. 

Bryster: 
"That was the equation - survival must override programming" yes Arthur Dent dat waz de guy !!     **

pakled:
I can just hear T'Pol saying, "well, now that was one wasted Trip." which I think was probably the point of that whole fling ... and at the end you get an indication that she has some feelings for her Captain Archer  although the writers sort of left that up in the air because by now you  gotta know no Star Trek series really ever dies and they don wanna box themselves in in case the series is ever reserected in one form or another ...

Blake's Seven, eh? thanks I check it out.

Paul: my codolences(oh man my speel checker iz gone again) but you musta been proud ! !

This is definitely appropriately named the assylum. 

B mouse
I have every episode of BSG plus "Razor"  I'm just waiting for release of last half of final season. I am going for Caprica next.  I think the last cylon of final five is Spock's grandfather, Lazarus Long. Fair dinkum???

He also did Blake's 7 and Doctor Who.  Wish he was still here, but I guess he felt he had to leave....:(

Bikermouse, you are totally of your trolly!!!!!! Give me five of whatever your on, it must be good!!
Are you guys talking about the old BSG with the guy who was in A-Team or the totally rubbish new ones? Why is it tv studios are churning out loads of really naff scifi/supernatural/horror miniseries´ at the moment? They´re all naff, and I love scifi and horror!!

Cheers, Silverblade, he'd take you up on that pint.  He was my big brother, and l loved him, like, well, a brother.....don't let anyone ever tell you that suicide is painless - it f**king hurts, man....:)

Lown,
I'll take that as a compliment but like I said, 51 episodes of Red Dwarf back to back would drive anyone to distraction.
The new one - you musta been thinking of Dirk Benedict  in the old one ... also there's a rumor going around that Sky is gonna redo B7; maybe Scifi will play it on their website.

I actually think the new BSG is awesome.

nruddock,
Thanks for that:

"well, stoke me a kipper I'll be home for breakfast."

BTW:
I just checked the last 5 eps of BSG are still on scifi - but hurry !!!

http://www.scifi.com/video/

That would be 'smoke me a kipper'. LOL 

LOL...apparently some people would rather stroke the Kipper than smoke it.

here in amsterdam we prefer to smoke other things :-P

No, man: it's "stoke me a kipper"  ...  sorry Bman but I checked it out -  in fact there is even an ep titled "Stoke Me a Kipper "  ... and if you think about it a kipper is actually smoked herring and to say smoke me a kipper would be redundant. 
Now, when it's Arnold Judas Rimmer's turn to be Ace, he says as he's leaving to go out and be Ace, "Stoke me a kipper I'll be home for Christmas"  but his predecesors all said "Stoke me a kipper I'll be home for breakfast" which only adds to the level of incompetance of the A.J.Rimmer we all came to know and love .... well, maybe not love but ...

Quest,
how did stroking it get into this conversation? I mean I love you like a brother but really I'd rather serve Kristie Allie breakfast a couple hundred times rather than 'stroke it'  once.
c'mon man get real. And " All you female cats out there, I AM available ! ! !  Whoa ! ! ! !"
.... and as Kriton in the earlier adventures might say, ""Smmmm Heeeeeeee"
Of course, there was one other person  who played Holly besides the one I mentioned . . .
but I won't ask you who it was, I won't ask you who it was ... the Hell I won't.

Egads! ROTFLMAO! I could have sworn you posted stroke! Done nearly got myself in trouble there. I would stay away from the heffer also (just to be PC). I know kipper is smoked herring...at least on this side of the pond I enjoy it from time to time. Well, don't mind me I'm just standing on the sidelines picking up bits and pieces and skrewing them up to keep myself entertained.

The line (on several occasions) is "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast".

Quote - sorry Bman but I checked it out -  in fact there is even an ep titled "Stoke Me a Kipper "

The episode is called "Stoke Me A Clipper" (Series VII Episode 2).

Quote - ... and if you think about it a kipper is actually smoked herring and to say smoke me a kipper would be redundant.

Which is the point.

Getting back on topic.  I love Red Dwarf and I have yet to watch a Season in its entirety, I've always missed an episode here and there.  I need to get a hold of all the episodes and watch them.

OK, I just e-mailed Chris Barrie to ask him to solve this for us.

Red Dwarf is absolutely the best Sci-Fi comedy ever written!

I think most who've seen it would agree.  It's really well written, and every character really does have his/her/its's place.  It's not long before you accept them as characters as opposed to actors.  Kryten really is a doormat, Lister really is a slob, Rimmer really is a coward, and Cat really does love himself!

Coming from the UK where it's made, it's easy to forget that those in other parts of the world might not be aware of it.  Nevertheless, I can't help feeling sorry for those that don't know about it.  You really are missing something very unique indeed.  The thing about Red Dwarf, those that don't 'get it', is that you really need to see the very first episode to understand what it's all about.

The first series was ok, but as each series come out they got much better and better.

Red Dwarf rocks - no doubt about it :thumbupboth:

Here's a clip of Rimmer gone nut's:

Fruuuuuuuuuh!!!

nruddock,
 I'll take your word for it . at least until Cardinal B has his say: That would open up a whole new world of possibilities such as: 
'Well, cloak me a stripper - I'll be home for brunch ! !'  

**pumeco,
**I think it's an aquired taste . the first time I saw it I wasn't thrilled but now I'd have to  agree with you that it's pretty good.

I never liked Red Dwarf.  One of the annoying actors later went on to do Battle Bots or Robot Wars or something.

Quote - I never liked Red Dwarf.  One of the annoying actors later went on to do Battle Bots or Robot Wars or something.

It was Robot Wars (the UK version).
He's now got a part in Coronation Street (a long running UK soap for the hard of Googling).

Quote - I think it's an aquired taste . the first time I saw it I wasn't thrilled but now I'd have to  agree with you that it's pretty good.

I'm not surprised you didn't like it at first when you said you watched all episodes back-to-back.
I love the thing but even I don't think I could do that - that's a lot of hours!

To clarify:
I  watched the first ep when I wasn't in the mood for it.  Thus the initial bad reaction. I then later watched  all eps back to back and wasn't disapointed at all except that it ended at which point I started this thread while I was both a bit dazed and smeg headed from the experience. 

Well, rope me a blipper I'll be home for Yom Kippur.

I'd call you a Smeg Head but that would have been too obvious ;-)

42? Well, of course, that's the meaning of life. Everything else is irrelivant! now, read me some Vogon poetry! :P

PS, off the subject am I? was there ever really a subject? lol :P
