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

I loved the last episode! Some of it reminded me of the novel Better Than Life, and I'm not sure if making it a despair squid (or joy squid) was really clever or really lazy. (you were right about that though!)
But it was funny. I was howling with laughter at Rimmer and the corner of the desk!
I do feel sad for Lister. Seems like whenever he gets a little taste of happiness it gets snatched away again. But at least they're real and they all survived. And Rimsy can look after Lister for us anyway...

Bring on season nine!

Call me single-minded, but..

I had this bit of squeeage while watching them:

1) Rimmer remembers the polymorph.
2) He can touch.

Have we got series I-VII Rimsy back?

Have to congratulate the specials. Any faults I've seen are just something I'd have liked to see, but can live with. E.G. seeing a real Skutter not a CGI one. I loved those guys. :)

This part topped it all though - it was so much like the old series with Rimmer being hurt purposfully and all the refrences to old shows. Series nine pleaseeeeee! *begs* It isn't past it's time, it's just starting again.

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
