Red Dwarf Slash

Interesting... No mention of the Missus in there... *strokes nonexistent beard.*

From:

What is this Missus I keep seeing referred to? Or do I know and I just don't remember? LOL

From:

Lister's GELF bride. We know that the actor who played her was in this episode. Since he tweeted it, it's OK to talk about it.

He could of course be playing a different character entirely. The "Missus" nickname is from a Lister line in Series 7 when he's being chased by her.

From:

OK, that makes sense; I forgot about dude being in this one.

From:

My favorite line from "Ouroborus" "Smegging Hell, it's the Missus!"

From:

I'm pleased to hear about the Cat / Kryten dynamic; that has been rather underused in RD in the past.

From:

Yes, that is under used and i'm glad to hear they are using it as well.

From:

You know, I think the Cat/Rimmer dynamic is underused too, really. For having so few characters, this show rests a lot on a few specific repeated interactions between two characters - but not just any two thrown together, I've noticed.

From:

Very good point - it's usually Lister with Rimmer, Kryten or less often Cat.

From:

You know, I think the Cat/Rimmer dynamic is underused too, really.

That always ends up with one of them calling each other names, though. Never ends good. *shifty eyes*

From:

I really like what I'm reading about the characterisation; it seems to be classic Dwarf. Any ep that's reminiscent of "Quarantine" has to be good. :)

There used to be a lot of Cat/Lister interaction in the 1st 3 series - they did almost everything together. Most of the shows following that were more ensemble pieces and then, as Lister's character matured, he seemed to grow closer to Kryten. He gets very impatient with Cat in later series I think. It would be nice to see a strong Cat/Lister scene again!

From:

That's part of what I meant up above, too. It always felt very much like everybody revolved around Lister, so either the full group or pairs involving Lister (interactions, scenes, I mean) were the norm, and other twosome scenes were kind of rare - like Rimmer and Cat. I was watching Balance of Power again the other night (I think) and Rimmer trying to convince Cat to put the cigarettes back in hiding made me realize how little we see them alone together. Or the yo-yo scene, which is hilariously acted.
