Am i the only red dwarf fan here who thinks the back to earth trilogy is a really crap almost as if they wern't really trying very hard and though fook it half way though writing the script?

Red Dwarf fan here bud, and dont see an option for;

Just my 2p`s worth tho ?

I am a massive RD fan! Own everything ever released and have watched every single episode countless times and i am serverly disappointed from the little i have seen so far! I will of course watch it all thru but i'm not holding out much hope :cry: :cry: :cry:

Whenever a innovative and funny comedy series with razor sharp one liners and ridiculous story lines comes back missing 1 (2?) of the lead characters (holly) you know somehow deep down this isn't going to be the best return to form.

 

The red dwarfs we know and love were only really amazingly funny when Grant and Naylor were writing together. Apparently they were both involved but only naylor was writing this time - shame :(

 

The first 2 episodes were truly, diabolically dreadful and highly disappointing the first of which didn't even raise a titter from me and i'm easily amused. The blade runner references were funny for someone who knows their films but didn't really save it falling flat on its face.

 

The 3rd for me was truly genius in some bits and reminded me of the good old days, plus the blade runner references worked especially the part where i recognised the Tyrell building on the london skyline which made me laugh out loud. Still not as good as the old days but better than the first two put together.

 

The question remains though, why did they have to rely on a spoof to make it funny? Couldn't they just resolve their differences and write these last 3 episodes together as a final tribute to all the long standing fans of the show and finish it properly.

 

The last two episodes disappointed me greatly, the 3rd was better and took away the bitter taste left in my mouth after the start but still left me thinking why did they bother?

See the other Red dward thread.

 

For me it was very very disappointing.
