Skipper

Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: Red Dwarf: Red Dwarf XII: Skipper

Funny, I thought I posted here yesterday, but maybe I forgot to actually post it?

There were a lot of nits in this one but these are the ones which bothered me the most:

Cat was acting out of character at the beginning when he was being nice to Rimmer, apparently for no reason.

Kryten said the quantum skipper needed time to recharge after each use, but this didn't seem to be the case when Rimmer was using it.

The quantum skipper took Rimmer back in time on some of the jumps.

No mention of alt universes / alt versions of themselves previously encountered by the crew.

In the universe where Lister was rich and successful, Rimmer could have sold the quantum skipper for big money.

In the "nobody's dead, Arnold" universe, Rimmer was a hologram, so it should have been "Nobody's dead except you, Arnold". And how did he die in that universe? (He was alive in one of the other universes, so it wasn't just that he kept his hologram form through the jumps.)

I hope I get to see these new episodes before long.

That bothered me too. Guys, you've seen this before. Ace Rimmer? Remember him?

Nice to see Holly and Captain Hollister again.

Hollister was a real bastard here, saving his own neck and leaving his crew to die.

Those giant rats just looked like a guy in s costume (I know it was, but it seemed that the F/X guys weren't even trying here).

Rimmer destroys the skimmer when he gets back to his own universe. What if Lister or the others wanted to give it a try one day?

Rimmer clearly did not think things through.
