I dont think they have any significant direct connection to the show,,,they are good though....fun fun fun in the sun sun sun.................If you want to get technical like some of the peelers do about commentary it sets the stark coldness of space juxtaposed against the warm joyfull setting of a warm summer holiday on the beach " Its cold outside, There's no kind of atmosphere, I'm all alone, More or less. Let me fly, Far away from here, Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun.
I want to lie, Shipwrecked and comotoase, Drinking fresh, Mango juice, Goldfish shoals, Nibbling at my toes, Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun, Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun. "
GAWD I REALLY LOVE RED DWARF!

They do have a significant direct connection. As stated on the DVD commentary/extras for one of the episodes. I forget which one as there are about twenty discs and (6*8)+4 episodes at the very least. So I'll paraphrase: Its cold outside, There's no kind of atmosphere,
The vacuum of space, through which Red Dwarf travels is cold. There is no atmosphere. I'm all alone, More or less. Dave Lister is the Last Human, with only a dead man, a crazy robot, a deranged computer, and a cat-thing for company. He's all alone. More or less (until Kochanski joins the crew, and even then - she's a woman, harldy the sort of person that one can talk to! ) Let me fly, Far away from here, Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun.
I want to lie, Shipwrecked and comotoase, Drinking fresh, Mango juice, Goldfish shoals, Nibbling at my toes, Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun, Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun.
Dave just wants to get back to Earth, and to sit in the sand on Fiji. Which is now mostly underwater due to a volcanic eruption - but you can get a drainage grant these days. Not that the nerdier viewers didn't spot this from the very first episode, of course. Not wanting to cause any offense, but if it did't leap out at you the first time that you heard it, then you've probably been at Rimmer's dog worming tablets (don't even try to respond to that, I've got another billion indecipherable RD references all primed and waiting).

I love ya, tnuk. In a nerdy way.
(Make what you want of it.)
Anyway, since I've been in the states PBS has been too skimpy on it's airings. I've got the whole set of DVDs now. Best investment ever. Well... Yet, at least.

Originally posted by David A: Honey, you're posting on an internet message board devoted to a cancelled sci-fi cartoon. I hate to break it to you, but if you think that you're not a nerd, you may be in denial. I know, I know ...I knew that at least one person was going to accuse me of being in denial. Well, I can't really explain it any better but I meant I'm not a nerd in the sense of that I was never particularly great at math or science, and in fact I never even knew anything much about computers until very recently...things like that. I'm referring to the stereotypical image of a nerd as portrayed in movies like "Revenge of the Nerds", for example. I joined this message board because Futurama is an outstanding show and because i saw this board had a large number of intelligent people on it. And yeah, I guess I meant a distinction between nerdiness and intelligence. Ok, i guess that's probably enough about my nerdiness or non-nerdiness now...

I'll live. It's a shame. Honestly. You're pretty good with your brain. These people could use you and you're turning your back on them. Well, take care of yourself David. I guess it's what you're best at, isn't it? On the subject of Red Dwarf, has anybody ever tried to enjoy as many of the foods invented by Lister as possible? Sugar Puff sandwiches are bad. Cornflakes with wine are bad. Triple-fried-egg butties with chili chutney sauce taste great but will probably kill you if you eat more than one. I want to visit the Fatbastarderia pizza house as well. But that would require somebody to open it.

"I have a medium-sized fire axe buried in my spinal column. That sort of thing can really put a crimp on your day. " - Kryten, Quarantine As for Lister snacks TNUK, how about a pizza with curry sauce, as concocted by Kryten to get Lister to eat Pizza. For latest RD News: http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/

Oh, ok, cool, I'm a nerd then! Well, I've always been "adept at spotting out well created artistic pieces", in any medium, but to tell you the truth I'm still not sure why this constitutes nerdiness. So now artistic sensitivity is nerdiness too? I guess you guys just use a pretty blanket definition of nerdiness. Is there a thread where this could be discussed further? To be on topic, yeah, Red Dwarf, Saturdays on PBS. I don't remember if Blackadder or Dr. Who were on here, but I watched RD as often as i could. I remember i used to wonder if anyone else in this country was actually watching stuff like that.

The attempts at getting the movie made have been going on a lot longer than 2 years.

I think there was a big gap between 6 and 7 because one of the writers left and their was a lot of doubt about whether or not to continue. I'm not sure about the other gap.

Oh, man, Just you wait for what Kryten does for Kochanski in "Only the Good...", Legendary. Wait a minute, back it up a post: Originally posted by Smitty: That and one of the leads was fighting off allegations of rape. You mean Craig was charged during that time? I thought it was earlier than that.

He spent about 3 months on remand but the trial collapsed in 1995. That was around the time the series went off, right?

Yeah... I can see that in Futurama so clearly... Bender buying Leela a new calander... Anyways... I was just watching 'Justice' the other day, and a thought occured to me... What happens when you're inside the Justice Field, and you try to commit suicide?

Presumably you'd die anyway; the person committing the offence (killing someone, regardless of who the victim is) would have the act reversed onto himself.
