What can I say about his episode, it was everything I wanted from a new Red Dwarf episode. I really hope if there is a Series XI we get more episode as good as this. I really don't have any negative points about this episode, so let me throw some things i liked at you:
- The opening scene at Io Polytechnic, the actor playing young Rimmer nailed this performance and it was the best opening scene of the series. I really wouldn't mind a few internet sketches using this guy about Rimmer's early years.
- Hogie the Rougie was a great character, I love the idea of a rouge droid turning up when he is bored and challenging them to duels across time and space purely for entertainment.
- 'How about we look out of window?' A classic style Dwarf gag.
- The Simulant committing harakiri scene is great, good guest performances. The scene was funny and the Dominator still came across as menacing.
- Rimmer's battle plan timetable was amazing, have a look.
- How the Series VIII cliffhanger was dealt was great, who cares how it happened, the crew got out of it and that is all that matters and it was funny. Look if you are bothered you have the mythical series IX so just make it up if you are bothered, use your imagination.
- The reveal of Rimmer's dad was interesting I don't think I will affect his character to much. I look forward to seeing where it leads.
The only real issue I have is with some of the effects, especially the wibbly gun and the crew falling through the floor.
Oh and Rimmer saying to Hogie that shouldn't steal from a Simulant death ship, because they come after you and then asking Kryten should be worried about a Simulant death ship, was just weird.
Overall, this was a great episode. The best of series X.
9/10
