Resolution Of The Series VIII Cliffhanger

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

After the joke in "The Beginning" I thought this was out of the question, but a Twitter exchange between Doug and Kill Crazy actor Jake Wood today seems to indicate otherwise.

For those who don't know, Jake Wood is a successful soap star in the UK and also recently won Strictly Come Dancing, so I doubt he's just touting for work without having been approached.  Apparently he's taking a year off from "Eastenders".

So if Kill Crazy may be making a reappearance, I don't see how that could be done without explaining what happened at the end of Series VIII.  Personally, I could have happily never found out, but if we get that I will be intrigued to see what Doug comes up with.

So what's everyone else's thoughts?  Would you be interested to possibly see a flashback with Hollister and maybe Rimmer-as-Ace saving the day?  Or is your instinctive reaction the same as I've seen elsewhere, along the lines of "Oh God, no!  Stay away from Series VIII!" ;)

Thanks a lot for looking. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this but I'm not actually a member of the RDSS as I got the impression that it was defunct and had been replaced by this comm. So I'll need you to approve my membership before I can read that.

Thanks in advance. :)

That's fine; membership dropped way off, but we do still have some old stuff archived there. Will approve membership as soon as Yahoo sends me the request.

I could have SWORN that I approved it as soon as it came through, but then I got a reminder message last night saying I had a pending action, and sure enough it was your membership.

I'm really annoyed now because usually I can approve by email but maybe Yahoo's turned that functionality off. ANYWAY. You should be able to get in now and poke around the files section all you like.

Oh good, I was worried that I'd messed up the request somehow. I can indeed get in now. Thanks. :)
