"Red Dwarf Introcast" Review "Blue"

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

For those following the Introcast, here's the link to the latest episode, this time reviewing "Blue".  They're not particularly keen.  Not because of the kiss (which they rather liked), more because of Kryten's attitude to Kochanski and the plot inconsistencies.  (Boy, did they pick the wrong show.)          Their speculation about Kochanski's Lister has given me really scary thoughts about him getting memory implants in order to please her - how else would any version of Lister be that knowledgeable about and interested in opera? http://thereddwarfpodcast.podbean.com/2013/07/16/season-7-episode-5-blue/

They make a good point in that this is not Rimmer, but their interpretations of Rimmer throughout, which I had not thought about before - it would explain the inconsistent uniform choice, if Lister is remembering him as he last saw him before he became Ace. The Rimmer Experience too, of course, ties in with such a theme, a cross between Rimmer's fantasy of himself and how Kryten saw him as the smee heeeee.

It occurred to me whilst listening to their theories about KK's dimension that the line between ficcers and "normal" fans is very thin. It's very easy to start theorising. ;)

Just for reference if you do end up appearing on this - I read on their Facebook page that Angela loves fanfic and writes it herself. :)

I always beware of such as that, because when people are willing to admit that they write fanfic in their real name, they generally don't write the same kind of fanfic I do, and think the kind I write is weird - so I don't tend to tell them I do. :-D

Hmmm, good point. I hadn't thought of it like that. Still, I don't get the impression from their occasional references to slash that they hate it. They seem quite good-humoured about it. :)
