I read Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers and the reference to the H on holograms being a mark of Abel has really stuck with me

#it felt weirdly poignant from an otherwise quite silly book lol #red dwarf #mine #linocut #linoprint #linocarving

[a-literal-toaster-wtf]

been really digging the idea of a version of ace who’s been around for way too long and has gradually gotten more and more morally corrupt until he’s basically unrecognisable as a hero

#the ‘rogue ai’ trope hype on tiktok has been getting to me #we’ve seen robots and mechs and holograms go insane from too much time alone plenty of times in red dwarf #so i wouldn’t call this too far fetched of an idea #red dwarf #arnold rimmer #ace rimmer

thinking about Red Dwarf again and something I've never been able to articulate about it is the way in which its continuation impacts the story specifically because every time they make new content with it they confirm, by virtue of the show existing, that the crew still hasn't gotten home

Like when they finished in '99 there were 10 years in which the audience could reasonably hope that maybe they succeeded, but then Back to Earth airs and no, sorry, they're still out there. And then there were 3 years of hope followed by "No, sorry, they're still out there" and it just keeps going and every time they release a new series or a movie or a special it continues the story, yeah, but it also canonizes the fact that they are not home yet, because it's not like Voyager where the crew eventually sees Earth again and the audience can breathe a sigh of relief, no, the crew is trapped on the ship in deep space so long as Doug Naylor keeps coming back

And I just think that's a really interesting effect of the medium on the story because whenever there is no series the Red Dwarf crew is the Schrodinger's Cat of lost voyages, both alive and dead, both home and lost, and every few years they open the box again and confirm the cat is still dead and we KNOW that Lister dies on the Dwarf we KNOW, it's been canon for decades, but maybe this time it'll be different, maybe if we leave the box shut they'll get home

#red dwarf #dave lister #this show fucks me up so bad #and every time i see the cast in later seasons and they've aged 30 years from the beginning it hits me again #that they've been going home for so long #and they'll never get there #doug please let them rest

Kochanski: Are you the big spoon or the little spoon? Lister: I'm a knife. Rimmer, from across the room: He's the little spoon.

If I had a nickel...

For every time I watched a TV show where one character is canonically dead with no rizz, had so much internalized homophobia it hurts, an ego the size of a planet, slightly outdated ways of insulting people, and spent quality time in a personal hell of theirs...

AND they fell for a character from the late 1980s who didn't have a great childhood but has an awesome jacket, anger issues, is prone to swearing, and trying to get with another character (a woman) he has no possible chance of ever getting with...

AND they have a catboy bothering them...

I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice right?
