# i reckon what they needed was less action/drama
red dwarf works best as a low-budget cheesy sitcom full of one-liners and canned laughter and terrible special effects
ed: that said, i'm probably going to end up buying the dvd and watching it again and enjoying it :D

# Yeah but what would be the point of doing it similar to the old series?
It's already been done, it would have made more sense to do something original (though a lot less mawkish and sentimental) then after all the surreal metareferencing bits they have a big gun battle until everyone is left silent and possibly dead or not dead.

Like Blake 7

# i guess that's what the director was going for
the script probably seemed a lot better on paper

# It's definitely what I'm going to do anyway.
I'm going to write a really camp and shit American TV comedy like Will & Grace for six years purely so on the very final episode they are all pulled into Hell and made to sit judgement for their time on earth and end up carving chunks out of each other in a barbaric cannibal forced orgy at the end.
