Reaction post: Can of Worms!

So Can of Worms is up now. Most people have been apprehensive about this one so interesting to know what response will be after watching!!

Finally, FINALLY getting to watch Can of Worms! Damn you UKTVPlay! Luckily someone on Tumblr had managed to get a copy uploaded to vimeo and shared it with me. :-) Going to "live" comment again.

Chris seems particularly on-form as Rimmer in this episode. In general, he feels more Rimmeresque than he did in series X when he felt a bit over-the-top at times. Even his mannerisms and movements just scream Rimmer this time around.

Ok, the Kryten sitting on a screwdriver bit made me giggle. GELFs again though? But I suppose in the original “Cat meets a lady Cat” episode, she was going to be a prisoner of GELFs, wasn’t she?

Danny’s face when he learns about the vampire GELFs who feed on virgins. He must have been rubbing his hands together with glee when he got this script.

*laughs* Back on Z-deck is apparently the Red Dwarf equivalent of, “she lives in Canada”. Awww, poor Cat. What else could he do, since the only other cats he’s ever known were his crippled mother and his jelly-brain father?

Ahhh, Listy taking charge and kitting up, getting ready to swoop in and either save someone or possibly get them all killed. That’s my boy. I’ll admit, when he cocked that bazookoid, I had to fan myself a bit. ;-)

The hell is up with Cat’s boots? He looks like he’s waded through a pool of dust bunnies.

Hee, I liked the lens cap gag. And Rimmer being impressed by Lister’s technical know how. ;-)

Even though the “life signs” gag was spoiled by the trailer, it still made me laugh.

The mercinoid design is pretty cool. The costuming/makeup department has really outdone themselves with this series.

Aww poor Rimmer, telling himself that “size doesn’t matter”. That’s what happens when you date a fellow hung like Lister. ;-)

I’m not sure how I feel about the lady who’s playing the lady Cat, but I lover her interactions with Cat and his sheer glee. “This is mine, and that’s mine!” And the mention of the string game!

I genuinely laughed out loud at the Kinder Eggs joke. Ha! But seriously though, another Polymorph? ANOTHER ONE? This “monster” has already featured in two episodes, I really wish they’d come up with something original instead.

Cat singing Frankie Valli with his Frankie Avalon hair, is just too much for me. Aww, poor Cat though. Couldn’t they have given the poor guy a proper sexual encounter?

Kryten’s reaction during the ultrasound scene. I’m dying.

OMG, “It’s not a salad you gimboid!” Gimboid again! Yay for the old insults having a revival!

Again the special effects guys are outdoing themselves. The dead polymorph in the bed looked fantastic. I wonder how much KY jelly they used this time?
