Red Dwarf....better Dead than Smeg...

Fan Blather: Oh, the geeky nostalgia! Red Dwarf was my first fandom obsession, along with Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and the Discworld novels. I became a fan when I was eleven! Fifteen years later, I still love the characters and it still makes me laugh. As requested ( Read more... )

Oh, I am spoiled! Thanks for this trip down memory lane. Mr. E.S. introduced me to this show in 1999. I think Out of Time was my first episode and remains one of my favourites. (And after the long wait for new episodes, nothing really stood up to the first 6 seasons.) After watching a few episodes on PBS we tracked down the VHS tapes of several episodes, the first TV on DVD we ever owned, and watched them repeatedly ( ... )

I really got carried away with this stocking because when collecting quotes and clips I had so many favourites. You should check out this playlist - http://uk.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=B42D4A12C6D49C07 - if you're hungry for more. There's the oiling scene on the first page. Rimmer fangirls always loved that one!

Lister/Craig Charles was my hero when I was a kid. I love cheeky chipmunky Scousers. It was great meeting the cast. The DJ cons are very intimate. Fans and guests all stay at the same hotel. Danny John Jules would stay up drinking with fans until 4am (Danny is more like Lister than the Cat in real life!). They are all so funny. It was a great weekend.

Out of Time is one of my favourites too! I loved the Starbug setting in S6. My favourite ep is probably Marooned, the one where it's just Rimmer and Lister banter all the way through. The dialogue is just terrific.
