(Personally, I'm still too upset to talk about it...
Listy has gotten me teary-eyed in these episodes, for sure...*sniff*)

I admit I wasn't a huge fan. It was watchable and there were definitely funny bits, but the whole Listy being so dramatic and crying just didn't seem to fit his character... I mean, he cries over chick flick movies, but I couldn't see him crying over a girl... But I guess they did go back and make the novels as canon where Listy and Kochanski actually hooked up. Personally I'm not a fan of that idea, but whatever...

Plus, no one ever seems to remember that Kochanski had her OWN Dave. I mean, They NEVER touched on that again which was a huge plot hole in my opinion. She was supposed to be sooooo in love with the more sophisticated Dave who loved her (and had that smeggin hot outfit) and yet, season 8 rolls around and they completely forget that.

There were just a bunch of things that weren't explained which took away from the enjoyment of watching the special. I think maybe if Naylor wasn't trying to be so cryptic with the episodes, keeping everyone totally confused until the end, it would have been much better, but as it was, I thought it was too confusing with stuff all over the place to really enjoy it all. Plus, the added drama was just a snorefest. I much more like the carefree fun loving Lister over the angst ridden Kochanski pinning Lister. I mean Lister ALWAYS wanted Kochanski but it wasn't his main focus in life.. that was just boring to me

I think the main problem is that it was Naylor working alone on this, and judging by 'The Last Human' he loves tormenting Lister and bringing emotions to the surface. Grant was definitely more into making odd plots and humour, as 'Backwards' showed. Together they were brilliant, apart their books were only so-so. Did Grant have any input on this latest installment at all?
