| I think I posted this before the board wipe but I can't be sure
You may not of seen this if you live in the US but people in the UK might. This was great comedy that started in 1989, and had 8 series up until 1999. It was the first Sci-fi sitcom made and it was the most viewed program ever on UK TV, on BBC1 & 2 (Americans don't have that I don't think). The next part is a HUGE spoiler to the program but it wouldn't mater anyway. The main part of the story is that a slobby man called David Lister is put into suspended animation, or stacis because he brings his unquarentined cat on board. While he is in there, the main drive plates of the ship Red Dwarf blow, and subject the crew to a lethal dose of lithium 2. His cat survives the accident because he amazingly was the only thing sealed inside somewhere, the cargo decks. they evolve into a human like creature which is seen in the first episode. After 3 million years, when the radiation reaches a safe background level, Holly, the ships computer with an IQ of 6000 releases Lister from Stacis, and breaks to him the bad news. After a small talk, Arnold Rimmer, Lister's bunkmate walks in as a hologram, donning a large "H" on his head. They walk around for a bit trying to patch up what wrongs they did to each other in the past and just end up making more, the see the evolved Cat, now a human-like creature. For the rest of the first series they are mainly seen in the ship. Series 1 episodes: 1) The End (The drive plate accident) 2) Future Echoes (Lightspeed travel makes them see the future) 3) Balance of Power (Lister tries to become a chef to overpower Rimmer) 4) Waiting for God (The cat race make Lister their god, but under the name of Cloister, and Rimmer finds an alien pod but finds out it was just a garbage pod from Red Dwarf) 5) Confidence and Paranoia (Listers catches a virus which causes his dreams to come true) 6) Me Squared (Lister creates two Rimmer holograms... One was bad enough) For the second series, the crew use the Blue Midget, a small ship which now allowed them to travel outside the confines of the ship. They celebrate Rimmer's deathday on a moon with a breathable atmosphere, they meet a deranged mechanoid that thinks the three dead crew on the ship he was on are still alive, and the crew get trapped in a better than life video game Series 2 episodes: 1) Kryten (The crew find a crashed ship, the Nova 5, containing three corpses and an android) 2) Better Than Life (The mail pod finally reaches Red Dwarf after Holly manages to turn the ship around, and they find themselves playing the ultimate game of all time) 3) Thanks for the Memory (Lister gives Rimmer 8 months of his memory as a present, but it doesn't go according to plan. Rimmer also finds out an alien language) 4) Stacis Leak (The stacis booth on floor 16 has a leak and the crew find themselves in the past. Rimmer tries to save himself and Lister tries to save Kristene Kochanski, the love of his life) 5) Queeg (Holly breaks article five, by endangering Listers life by electrocuting him accidentally, and a substitute computer takes over) 6) Parallel Universe (Holly creates the Holly Hop Drive, causing the crew to enter a parallel universe. Lister has sex with his parallel female self... but HE'S the one who gets pregnant This series had the new character Kryten as a main character. Now nearly all of what happens is outside Red Dwarf, but in another new vehicle, the Starbug. The crew enter a time hole, and appear in a backwards universe on earth in 1993, Kryten finds he is going to self destruct, and Lister is attacked by his own underpants Series 3 episodes: 1) Backwards (When the crew enter a time hole, they find themselves in a backwards universe. Lister gets it all wrong and thinks they have just warped into bulgaria) 2) Marooned (When escaping black holes, Lister and Rimmer's ship crashes into a frozen planet. When Kryten and the cat discover where they are, they find the black holes were just specks of grit on the scanner scope) 3) Polymorph (A shapeshifting lifeform makes it's way onto the ship, and becomes many different things before sucking the emotions fear, vanity, guilt and anger from Lister, Cat, Kryten and Rimmer. It also turns into a pair of boxers which shrink when Lister puts them on 4) Timeslides (While Kryten developes some photographs, the crew find the developing fluid has mutated, and the crew can walk into the photographs when they are produced as slides. This also causes the future to change. This give Lister an idea) 5) Bodyswap (Rimmer and Lister swap bodies so Rimmer can give it good nourishment and exercise... with Rimmer being a hologram to long it game him slightly DIFFERENT thoughts...) 6) The Last Day (Kryten's in-built shutdown disc should activate at 7:00 the next morning. They then find that if Kryten didn't deactivate himself, his replacement will do it for him) I'll finish this later on, it's too late now. There are another 5 series to go |
