There have..."Last six seasons"? ....woah. There have now been officially as many Red Dwarf Version 2 seasons (as I think of them) as of real Red Dwarf. That's just... weird.<br /><br />I agree with your assessments almost exactly, btw. There are still annoying problems throughout, particularly relating to rushed endings and lack of cohesion ("Skipper" felt like two unrelated episodes rammed together at the halfway mark), and there isn't the sort of character depth, or frankly intelligence, that there used to be [example: even in the somewhat-maligned sixth series, when the boys from the dwarf travelled to the fifteenth century, they were still in deep space, because of course they were... but when Rimmer here travels to an alternate reality he also apparently time-travels three million years into the past because... nobody cared about that problem?)...<br /><br />...but this was the best of the revived series, with four quite decent episodes, and Skipper to me felt like it had really captured at least some of the feel of the original. It actually left me optimistic for the future.<br /><br />[I wouldn't call Skipper the best of the last six seasons, though - not quite. I think "Tika to Ride" still surpasses it. Though admittedly I haven't seen that in a long while.]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
