At the end of the episode, if memory serves, Rimmer asks him how he's going
to have twin boys if there's no women anywhere around.  He responds with
something like, "I don't know, but it's going to be fun to find out."

I suspect he wants to find out, so he doesn't go into stasis.

I thought this weeks showed poromise: there was much more atmosphere
and the two teams were close in performance.

I think it needs to be longer, 40 minutes in total at least, have more
head to head and loads more locations (3 is not enough). I didn't
think the frame rate was too bad, but its a shame that they don't wear
headsets: it must be real hard looking at those big screens...

The fifth ammendment to the U.S. constituition, one of the original 12
ammendments on "The Bill of Rights" (of which only 10 made it).

In a nutshell, it's the right to avoid self-incrimination ... in other
words, you can't coerce testimony with Spanish Inquisition-style
techniques (well, you *could*, but it would be inadmissable, so there
is little incentive to do it unless that's how you get your kicks).

This is why Ollie North was always saying "I refuse to answer on the
grounds that it might incriminate me" during the Iran-Contra investigation.

You're asking for a slew of replies there, mate.

So, er, what told you that this series will be the final series?

Late February should be when the series begins airing.  I expect
somebody decided to put Red Dwarf on in the summer or autumn,
rather than the spring?

Well, in Britain a 'garter' is an elastic peice of lace a lady wears on the 
thigh of the stocking on her leg.  A 'suspender belt' clips around her waist
with 4 straps hanging down attached to the tops of her stockings!

When series four came out, someone -- I don't remember who -- wrote up
plot summaries of each episode.
 
When series five came out, Neil Postlethwaite from Edinburgh transcribed
(albeit largely from memory) each episode.
 
The etiquette is simply to include at the start of an article
which will contain series-six plot information the word "Spoilers"
and a ^L page pause, so that those who don't want to know anything can
choose not to read the article.
 
The real question is how long such warnings should exist.  It takes
about a year for a series to begin airing in the U.S., but because it
is purchased by individual stations around the country, there's no set
time to say that everyone will have seen it.  Some stations may not air
series five for another year or so.
 
No doubt someone somewhere will write up plot spoilers for those who
want to read them.  If no one in the UK does, I might.

Its just that we have no name for our equivilant.  Also the cat is
an ammerican character.  It has to do with cat's

Heh, well, it doesn't actually have anything to do with knighthood...

Let's see ... my dictionary says the word comes from a French word which

The fifth amendment of the U.S. Constitution deals with a witnesses
right not to testify becuase the evidence in such testimony may be
self-incriminating. This right is one of the ones that Ollie North
kept invoking a few years back when he was brought before a Senate
Committee to testify about his dealings in the Iran-Contra affair.

Can anyone else add to this?
