Extremely Shallow Question

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

Hopefully I can be excused on the grounds that my brain has turned to Christmas stress related mush, but I think it's just about relevant to this comm. :p

Would you say the Boyz are more attractive in their days of extreme cuteness (Series 2 era especially) or in their more mature stage circa Series VII?  I simply cannot decide.

Feel free to back up your arguments with pics. ;)

For Rimmer, I cannot pick. I find him adorable in all his incarnations, super skinny baby Rimmer from series I-III, slightly more mature and filled-out Rimmer from series IV-VI, 30-something more rough looking Rimmer from series VII-VIII, and silver-haired foxy Rimmer from BTE and series X.



Clearly I just have no preference as far as Chris Barrie is concerned.

For Lister I'm more biased. I love series III with his leathers and big furry hat, but I also love Craig's look circa series VI. I think the first episode of series VI has him with a haircut that's cropped very closely on the sides and for some reason it just drives me CRAZY. The only one of Lister's looks that I'm not particularly fond of is in series I-II when they really go over-the-top with his slobbiness and give him the Hawaiian shirts. I think they just don't suit Craig as well as some of the later looks they gave him.



Then of course there's the long johns. Long may they live.



Smeg. I can't pick. I love them all, in all their days. :D

Thanks for the pics. Good grief, those longjohns... ;)

I know what you mean about the Hawaiian shirts (although I don't think they're that bad) but even in Series I they gave him the Mugs Murphy and London Jets T-shirts. The red ones especially really suited him.

Yes, the London Jets shirts and jersey are the only things from the series I and II era that I really loved on Lister. I wish they'd lasted into some of the other series. :)

He does look fantastic in red. :D

Yes, I imagine Mr Burden wondering how to top his previous work and lighting on the idea of bringing back the longjohns, but in red. :D
