I could go on and on about Red Dwarf. Series 1 was fantastic, Series 2 was even beter, series 3 was where they really got in gear, series 4 was cruising, series 5 pulled out all the stops, and then it seems they started to put the blocks on. Series 6 merely repeated the things that were funny about series 4 and 5 (e.g. "In binary it goes 10001010101101101010101011011011011100100101010, which basically translated means "don't just stand there gibbering like a fool when you're in mortal danger, run!"; unnecessary and illogical reprises of Dwayne Dibbley and "Ace" Rimmer; yet another polymorph...).
Then Series 7 came along.
What did they do to Red Dwarf!?!?! CGI that looked NOTHING like the Dwarf! And as for the new Kochanski! WTF?!? Kochanski was small, cute, elfin and SCOTTISH!!! Not tall, willowy and ENGLISH!!!
Series 8. Hmmm...
There are just so many bits to choose from in Red Dwarf. Such as:
"What is it, Kryten?"
"It's a banana."
"What is is?"
"A banana."
"Concentrate, Kryters! Now, what is it?"
"It's ... it's ... it's the Bolivian Navy on manoeuvres in the South Pacific!"
........
Lister: Rimmer, we've passed your test. You can let us out now.
Rimmer: I would like to, but I can't
Lister: Why not?
Rimmer: Because the King of the Potato People won't let me. I asked him, I got down on my kneed and begged, but he said no.
Lister: Well, can we see him then?
Rimmer: Who?
Cat: The king?
Rimmer: Have you got a flying carpet?
Lister: Yeah. A little 3-seater!
Rimmer: So, let me get this straight. You want to fly on youe magic carpet to see the King of the Potato People to plead for your freedom?
Lister: Yeah.
Rimmer: And you're trying yo tell me you're not crazy? I think that deserves two hours of W. O. O.
Lister: What does that mean?
Cat: You had to ask...
Rimmer: With. Out. Oxygen.
...............
Last Day - Hudsen has just entered the Dwarf and is scanning the crew. Kryten has just told everyone "he's a mechanoid, programmed not to harm humans!" Rimmer looks up, puffs his chest out and strides up to Hudsen and tells him to get off the ship. Skip to Hudsen's view.
RIMMER: Hologram of former crew member. Non-Human. Viable Target.
CAT: Felis Sapiens. Non-Human. Viable Target.
KRYTEN: Series 4000 Mechanoid. Non-Human. Viable Target.
LISTER: Homo Sapiens. Barely Human.
