wykikitoon 21369 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Pants IMO. Series 6 was ok, the ones before that were great but 7 & 8 are most poor compard to the earlier ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Ran out of ideas. Shame, as I loved the early stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15807 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Aye. I've grown fonder of series 7 as time goes by, for all it's not "classic" Dwarf, but the dance-off between Cat and the fucking spaceship in series 8 was enough to stop me watching altogether.

Oh aye, 'cringeworthy' is all you can say. Just like his short lived pop career with 'Tongue Tied'. On a positive note, I still piss myself at the scene when Lister has the shrinking kegs on and Kryton tries to take them off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4446 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 There was a lot of potential in bringing back the Red Dwarf ship/crew which had its moments but sadly failed on the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I don't want to make any generalisations here, but without exception, all film and tv sci-fi aimed at grown ups is shit....especially comedy sci-fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 22457 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 i think it's downward spiral coincided with one of the writers leaving. it's a bit of a geeky show but i loved series 2-6 and the books are well worth a read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup the series and in fact the books were never really the same once they had their big argument. Not even sure the wrote the later series together at all?

Basically Red Dwarf. Hitchhikers guide is wank too. And that one that was on BBC2 with Shaun of the Dead's mate. Never seen Galaxy Quest, but my theory is just as blown away by the hilarious Spaceballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the one you mean was Hyperspace - agree it was shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1279 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Galaxy Quest is much funnier than Spaceballs. Sam Rockwell is class. Red Dwarf started going down hill after it peak with the third series but still had some real quality moments (particularly Back To Reality in the fifth series) up to the end of series 5. After that it started to plumit with the last two being a fucking travisty. The books are excellent espcially Infinity which I think read in a day (which is probably the only time I've done that with a book that doesn't have pop ups).

Guest alex Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Never seen Galaxy Quest. Spaceballs is mint though. Don't really like Red Dwarf to be honest. I used to watch it and liked it when it first came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 It changed quite a bit as it went on anyway, the first 2 series there were no aliens whatsoever...the joke being that Rimmer wanted to meet some but they didn't actually exist. After that..aliens galore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1279 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I think I prefered the way they did it with the first two series although the third one definitely had the best episodes. I really lost interets when they lost Red Dwarf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Aye red dwarf was class. got all the dvds. seemed that the more money they spent on it (for better production) the crapper it got, with the odd exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Galaxy Quest is brilliant, but I thought Spaceballs was wank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 175 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I think Red Dwarf went downhill after series 3, I loved it up until then, and as for Hyperdrive, that was woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
