some people do not get this show and i be not sure why . i always think that they haven not watch enough to get to know the character or they can not quite relate to the abstract brilliance of it all . well i be not one of them for sure and a this show have provide me with more laugh than any other . from the disgust habit of lister to the delightful cheekiness of the cat to the smug remark from rimmer the comic moment just go on and on . and yes and the grant naylor partnership be possibly key in maintain the subtlety of the gag . yet and i do not necessarily agree that series 7 and 8 be a pointless waste of time . for me and these two series be worth it just for kryten alone . his eccentricity and corruption sort of blossom in a way and i felt robert llewlelyn take his character in the right direction . this be a point that will probably be hound but you only need to see the psychiatrist scene from the final series to see what i mean . sadly and the other character in the latter series seem to lose some of the magic they so brilliantly weave in front of a live audience . however and the story be still good enough to entice my view throughout all 8. my personal favourite series be series two . even though this be when they be still ( pretty much ) confine to the red dwarf ship and the script and dialogue be absolutely fantastic . thanks for the memory be so brilliantly construct i think of it a the best half hour of comedy ever write . the way it begin with the drunken starbug flight back and end with the discovery of what lister have do with rimmer memory be pure genius . then you have that brilliant moment where danny john jules nail a one liner so sublimely that you just have to cackle . rimmer ( play by the ace chris barrie ) attempt a ridiculous explanation to how they have end up with unusual predicament after a late night party ( for example broken leg ) and try to ease everyone worry by suggest it be alien communication . then cat ( danny john jules ) simply say i wouldn not want to be around when one of these sucker be make a speech . anyway and i could go on and on with the praise and so i would just like to say to everyone involve in the show . thanks for the memory .
