All things RED Dwarf

Nothing's gonna happen. We're just here as a precaution. The whole ship's full of fail-safes anyway. Cooling systems, containment panels, vacuum shields. The actual chances of it blowing are about one in...
<SHIP EXPLODES>

...one.
 
Kryten :”Ah, yes. A pub. A meeting place where people attempt to achieve advanced states of mental incompetence, by the repeated consumption of fermented vegetable drink.”

Earlier tonight i just noticed on Tubi that they added Red Dwarf. all 12 seasons.

Either they're being sneaky and not letting people know or that i dont check Tubi every second, but the show is on Tubi now which surprised me.
 
CAT: Come on, man, you gotta sacrifice your life! I'm not asking you to do anything I wouldn't do!
RIMMER: YOU? You'd sacrifice your life for the good of the crew?
CAT: No, I'd sacrifice YOUR life for the good of the crew.
 
<having encountered a holoship, a holoprobe has made Rimmer vanish>
Kryten: They've taken Mr Rimmer! Sir!! They've taken Mr Rimmer!!!
Cat: Quick! Let's get outta here before they bring him back!
 
well, in the late 1990s here in the U.S. Red Dwarf got popular a little bit on PBS because of the weird sci fi british humor on the show or whatever. That and Holly being a female computer at the time.

Plus PBS Saturday nights got better because of Red Dwarf and Red Green

At first Holly was male. Then he travelled to a parallel universe and met his female self and immediately fell in love. After that he changed himself to female. Later on he changed himself back to male.
 
The opening scroll to Backwards, parodying Star Wars is hillarious:


RED DWARF III: THE SAGA CONTINUUMS
THE STORY SO FAR...

Three million years in the future, Dave Lister, the last human being alive, discovers he is pregnant after a liaison with his female self in a parallel universe. His pregnancy concludes with the successful delivery of twin boys, Jim and Bexley. However, because they were conceived in another universe with different physical laws, they suffer from highly accelerated growth rates and are both eighteen years old within three days of being born. In order to save their lives, Lister returns them to the universe of their origin where they are reunited with their father (a woman), and are able to lead comparatively normal lives. Well, as normal as you can be if you've been born in a parallel universe and your father's a woman and your mother's a man and you're eighteen years old three days after your birth. Shortly afterwards, Kryten, the service mechanoid who had left the ship after being rescued from his own crashed vessel, the Nova 5, is found in pieces after his space bike crash lands onto an asteroid. Lister rebuilds the 'noid, but he fails to recapture his former personality.

Meanwhile Holly, the increasingly erratic Red Dwarf computer, performs a head sex change operation on himself. He bases his new face on Hilly, a female computer with whom he'd once fallen madly in love.

And now the saga continuums

YT had this one blocked for a long time, but now it's viewable. Strange things at YT.

I've always wanted to make one of those "sate of the art sarnies", but with mango chutney and chili sauce, or would chili chutney work?

I've definitely gotten into eating vindaloo because of Lister, so why not?
 
I’ve always wondered. What is chutney?
Is it like a sweet relish?
You tell me what a relish is and I'll tell you. :p

The interweb defines it as a spicy condiment of Indian origin, made of fruits or vegetables with vinegar, spices, and sugar.


Today's RD quote:


KRYTEN: But you would not profit by it. You would gamble your safety for a mere android? Is this the human value you call "friendship?"
LISTER: Don't give me the Star Trek crap. It's too early in the morning.
 
Relish is just cucumbers in vinegar with various spices.

Kryten : "Is it me, or is that cockroach shuffling too loudly?"
 
Sounds like a type of chutney the . Close cousins.

LISTER - Why is it we never meet anyone nice?
CAT - Why is it we never meet anyone who can shoot straight?
 
Lister : “Are you all right Kryten?”
Kryten: “No sir. I have a medium-sized fire axe buried in my spinal column. That sort of thing can really put a crimp in your day.”

That is good news!

Rimmer: Kryten you're forgetting Space Corp Directive 1742.

Kryten: 1742? No member of the Corp should report for duty in a ginger toupee.

(Additional: Kryten must have forgotten this space corps directive in “Tikka to Ride”. Although, Kryten, being a service mechanoid, is probably not actually in the corps.
On second thought…never mind.)

there's this one funny episode that i saw on PBS back in the late 1990s at the time where Lister and gang were trying to hunt some king of creature that was like a shapeshifter or something that caused people to hallucinate or have them cower in fear or something.
