Asks more questions than answers really. How did Kochanzki die? Does the mini-series ignore Series 8, thus answering why Red Dwarf is the old configuration? Where's Holly? Where does the new hologram come from? Why does Rimmer have to be killed to change command? Where's Holly?! Still enjoyable though, though got annoyed when i saw to be continued and remembered its a half hour episode. lol |

Yeah, it was clearly not designed as something episodic. Let's no lie about it. What happened between series 8 and this special anyway? |

Was alright, but Cat's lines were all repeated for sake of fan service, and the lack of a laughtrack brought it down a bit. Also, a bit shameful in lack of original content (Cat blissfully unaware of danger behind him, and 'She's behind you but I don't want to say so'). Disappointing, but by no means is it going to stop me watching and enjoying what I can. |

Well, it was good to see them all back again, and the old chemistry's still there, but it wasn't quite as laugh out loud funny as the classic Red Dwarf, in fact I laughed more at the repeat of Gunmen of the Apocalypse straight afterward (now that's a great episode). Oh, and why no Holly? Still, it was alright, hopefully it will pick up in the next few episodes. |

I laughed too hard at that bit, some bodily fluid escaped me. Not that one. Nor that one. But Feldoon speaks the truth: this more than makes up for Pt1. Two things: what does Cat keep leaving, and I reckon the other hologram is still alive, Hard Light being indestructible and all that. |

I didnt realise it was each day new episode so I missed the first half on Dave ja vu. Still, from what I saw much more hilarious. |

They're little pieces of origami, probably of Red Dwarf, it's another Blade Runner reference in an episode packed with them. |

It was certainly not bad, the origami being squids was a good clue that you didnt realise till the end. Leaves open for potential new series? :3 |

I had an inkling in episode one, they made an effort to get everyone covered in a prop (and no must ever go unwasted), and the fact it was a squid stirs memories straight back. Awesome episode though, and I'm glad they cut the laughter track for this three-parter, if I'm honest. (21:44:41) Jeffrey Kan: bit of a cop-out to say it was all another illusion No, Jeff. No, it wasn't. (Best laugh: Chris Barrie's fake accent. Marrrvellous.) Also, I consider you a fool if you didn't watch the Making Of. Excellent stuff in there as well. I want Carbug 1. |

Just seen. And I am very, VERY happy with it. Ideally it really does need to be seen as a whole though, as opposed to individual episodes. |

I'm going to be completely opposite to everyone here and say the following: THIS RED DWARF SPECIAL WAS SHIT. I was not impressed in the least by this three parter. They relied too heavily on pop culture, and was a shameless plug for the TV station "Dave", "Coronation Street", "Warhammer" and "Red Dwarf" merchandise. The dialogue wasn't nearly as biting and cutting as they could have been, and it was just a feeling of "What the FUCK" and "meh" all the way through the three shows. I felt that it wasn't in the least coherent, and left me feeling bewildered, and wondering why they even bothered to make this. Series 7 and 8 were superior to this pile of crap in my opinion (and I hated those two series thanks to the chick). Having the twit K'chnski enter the scene was merely flicking poo at the brilliance of series 1-6. Her appearance was tolerable compared to this "special". This lacklustre and inferior offering was just shoveling the shit over the series and totally ruining it's credibility. So it's business as usual for the Red Dwarf crew? Where are the resurrected personnel? What happened after Rimmer kicked Death in the balls? Why did only Lister survive? Did they completely forget about series 7 and 8 and decide to keep it going from 6? Are they ever going to truly make it back to Earth? Where the hell is Holly? Why did they leave so many MORE threads dangling? I honestly thought that this would be the "end of Red Dwarf", where they would a) get back to Earth thus ending the mission of the Dwarf, b) Lister dies thus ending the mission of the Dwarf, or c) the ship blows up, thus ending the mission of the Dwarf. Instead, they just kept it going, trying to milk a dying cow. I expected so much better than this. This wasn't Red Dwarf. It was just shameless product placement that went nowhere at all. And the whole "Dream Squid" recycling thing? They can just fuck off and come up with something new. And I know I don't have the greatest view of this. I'm depressed out of my mind that this was a waste of film, and that Virus is now back in the UK. It was a two-for on the day he left... |

Considering the fact that they were in "They Walk Among Us" (the place used in the "Spaced" episode Tim is fired by Bilbo) where they most likely sell parts to the game or at least the comics/books, I would certainly call it a shameless plug. |
