I thought it was decent. I enjoyed the continuity references.
I have enjoyed this season. Probably the best since Rob Grant left. But, IMO, the show just hasn't been the same since his departure, no matter how hard Naylor tries. The scripts and jokes just aren't on the same level.
It's interesting how much of this season is about tech developed between the 2200s and the 2500s. Or to put it another way, between Lister/Rimmer and Kryten, so Kryten can explain it. Good scripting short cut, but new.
Oh, and Krysis seems to confirm that Earth is the only planet ever to develop intelligent life. Everything comes from Earth (Cats, Mechs, holos, Gelfs, replicants...)
I don't think so, unlike a certain time travel show I'm sure you're thinking of.Haven't they come across 51st century technology at some point?
I had kinda hoped that those two Cat women were real at the end and Cat had been telling the truth but just being incredibly Cat-like is his evasive nature.
Twentica and Officer Rimmer didn't. Twentica had simulants instead, and there's the rub I suppose - if you need an intelligent, numerous and space-capable threat, the show has ruled out aliens or other humans, so GELFs and sims it is.
