Introcast off hiatus - tangent topic

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

I found out the Red Dwarf Introcast people recorded their latest podcast today, which will post sometime later this week, most likely - for those of you besides me keeping up with that.

For those of you NOT keeping up, you if you've wanted to sort of jump in and start, this might be a good point to do so. They've done the first six seasons already (you can find them in archive on their site, and some through iTunes podcasts); this week is "Tikka to Ride." The two newbies aren't allowed to be spoiling themselves before any episode they see, so there will be Big Changes as they get into S7 - especially SMAC, which I would surmise will be recorded next week. That's how it usually works, anyway (they've been on a hiatus because of graduations, vacations, etc.).

An extra feature to tide over podcast subscribers was the "Spoilercast" recorded last month. It featured only a handful of longtime fans who have participated in past podcasts, not the newbies at all - the oldies talked about how they think Heath and Angela (the newbie couple) will react to the changes after S6. I admit, it will be interesting to see how they adjust to no Rimmer, given they made the point in one of their latest podcasts that they don't think the show could survive without him. *G*

I'm looking forward to it. :) I think Angela especially will be pleased and intrigued at the glimpses of Kochanski in the credits sequence. I wonder if they'll guess it's her, given that it's a different actress?

I do wonder though how they'll respond to SMAC in particular and the direction Series 7 goes in. I hope it doesn't deter them too much. :/

If anyone's on Facebook, they discuss it there too, but unfortunately you have to be a member of the site to read that.

I'm really excited that they'll be back, but apprehensive about their reaction to S7, especially because the no spoilers rule means that no one can reassure them that Rimmer will come back. I hope they stick it out.

I'm sure Angela will be happy to have Kochanski join the show, but I wonder how she'll feel about the writing for her.

I'm listening to the SMAC episode, and am thrilled that the newbies love the episode so much. It's one of my all-time favourites. And they mention Lister's tenderness towards Rimmer.
