reddwarfslashI just got ahold of Backwards and read it last night. And now...
I'm having a plotbunny involving Rimmer and a spikey hooked Cat penis. Yeeks.
I really have to say, after reading it, I wonder about what Grant and Naylor each brought to the series. One of my main problems with VII is that many of the episodes seem to be... not-tightly-written; things go by quickly and aren't tied together well (the latter half of Epideme particularly), and that's exactly what Backwards had - that tight tie-together of events (that I think was best, TV-series-wise, in Gunmen, although Tikka was good in that department, too). It's very well written. I was actually laughing out loud at parts of it while I was sitting in bed reading it.
And it's really goddam dark, thematically. Man.
