Rimmer: How do you have twins when there are no women on board?
Lister: I don't know, but it's gonna be interesting finding out!
@FernLovebond @TMaskedWriter The books were amazing too. I embarrassed myself reading them, laughing so loud in public places.
@AmaryllisLanza @FernLovebond I read the first two. I liked Rimmer's justification for spending all his free time in stasis.
@TMaskedWriter @AmaryllisLanza
Honestly, I never got the books. I watched the series many years back, but it was on PBS, and often the episodes were not in order one viewing to the next, so the later seasons I never got to, and much of the middle seasons were ... disorganized.
Still, I have the loveliest memories of the series. Ironically, I looked up and watched the first season again not long ago, and will probably try to see if I can track down and watch the whole series in order. Binges!!
@FernLovebond @AmaryllisLanza I haven't seen the newest series. Red Dwarf is still ongoing, it just sometimes takes them years between seasons.
@TMaskedWriter @FernLovebond Oh, really? I didn't know. I can't get it here in DK. I'm a big Whovian too and I've missed the last few years with Jodie Whittaker. The content licensing rules are a bit mishegoss in Europe. I wish they'd make them EU-wide releases instead of country-by-country, especially since so much is through streaming service these days.
@TMaskedWriter @FernLovebond I just got Britbox here! But they are missing season two of Black Adder. I don't get to cackle at Queen Elizabeth I. 😟
@AmaryllisLanza @TMaskedWriter
Ah! Black Adder! Another beloved show from my youth!
@AmaryllisLanza @FernLovebond If you get the DVDs, one of the bonus features is Tony Robinson giving us little history lessons on some episodes.
@TMaskedWriter @AmaryllisLanza
Ah, yeah, I love the special features ^_^
@TMaskedWriter @FernLovebond I had them for a while and we lost them at some point in one of the many, many moves. These days, I mainly stream or YouTube. I'm trying to reduce the amount of things I have to pack the next time around.
@AmaryllisLanza @FernLovebond Probably a good plan. My parents left me this house, I'm here til I die.
@TMaskedWriter @FernLovebond I was born on the waves and tossed on the wind. I haven't stopped since. I am a traveler. I am the passenger. I ride and I ride.
We just moved to this new house last year and no freaking way do I want to do that again anytime soon, but we will. Eventually.
@AmaryllisLanza @FernLovebond All the good UK stuff is on Britbox, which is yet another subscription service. I DID get it for a couple months so I could catch up on QI, but that was it.
