[SQ] Dies solis March 16 1997, Dixit Alecia Darin ad Steve Quarrella:
[SQ]
[SQ]  AD>   Well Alright nice to see the lot of Ya! <Grin>!
[SQ]
[SQ] I got my start with Red Dwarf here many, many years ago, although at
[SQ] first, I believed it to be a serious show, more along the lines of
[SQ] Blake's 7.  I came home after "the grad school semester from hell,"
[SQ] beaten, broken, depressed, and decided to watch this show (that my
[SQ] father had taped for me) and relax.  By the time Rimmer was asking
[SQ] Lister if he had ever been hit over the head with a welding mallet, I
[SQ] KNEW I was in trouble.  I've been hooked ever since. :)
Hey Steve...Well to be honest I became a fan and devoted Red Dwarf And
Dr. Who Fan when my husband got me involved in it about 3 years ago sence
then I can not tare myself away from the shows on Friday night the TV is
off limits to anything else and God forbid you interrupt me while it is
On <Grin>!
[SQ] I haven't yet found anything that would fit the bill, so Marlon Brando
[SQ] as "The Godfather" continues to grace my desktop. :)  There are a LOT
[SQ] of Red Dwarf sites on the Internet, if you've got access.  I used to
[SQ] maintain a Doctor Who/Red Dwarf file area, but given that I'm not a
[SQ] files board, I had to remove most of it a few years ago to clear up
[SQ] disk space.  Once I get the LAN all straight, I might bring it all
[SQ] back. :)
Well I have a Rose On Mine But; I will have to check out the internet
as I do have the access to it through AOL so maybe I will have some
luck:)
[SQ] Get an offline reader:  You won't have to run, then. :)
Hahahahaha....Ok Steve:)  First I had better put my wheelchair in low
gear and then I will run...lol!   Well you take care until we meet again

        That's right!
        "Colony in Space" was marketed as "The Doomsday Weapon" (which,

        intro supported TomDoc).

[SQ] Did they show all of the new episodes (I think there are eight), or just
[SQ] three, like they did here in Dallas?
   They Showed The four episodes 1 on friday and three on saterday:)
[SQ] In any event, I'll let my spoiler alert message soak into the rest of
[SQ] the echo before I go into details, but I think I can say a few things
[SQ] without giving anything away.
[SQ]
[SQ] The show no longer has the "soap opera" studio feel that it once did,
[SQ] and there were a few times I felt like I was watching "Red Dwarf:  The
[SQ] Motion Picture." The special effects were rather fantastic, and there
[SQ] were quite a few references to past stories, going all the way back to
[SQ] season one.  Can't say I was too impressed with the plots themselves,
[SQ] but there were a _s*tload_ of funny sequences and lines.  I guess we
[SQ] have to wait until April to see more, so I'm looking forward to 'em.
[SQ] :)
Hahahahaha...I agree on the soap stuff:)  I really thought that they did
do a really great job on the effects as well:)  I loved Critten he really
had me ROFL....If these episodes are a start of what we are going to see
then I am going to LOVE it!

 Yeah fair point.  A good actor can save an average production, and he came
 damn close, the difference could come with character development on his
 behalf.  Most actors would have a bit of trouble with any character they
 try to create, but McGann had to reprise one of SF's oldest and most
 popular, tough 90 minutes.
 Yeah such a pity that some aliens aren't smart enough to visit the States.
 Obviously far fetched fiction, really!  You'd expect better from the
 British. <g>
 Part of me wants to say "So What?"  After all this thing has become so huge
 world wide, that it probably has to lose some of it's domestic appeal, to
 market successfully internationally, and stay alive.  What BBC or whoever
 have to struggle with, is the different cultures, what they see in the Doc
 what they want changed, and as those cultures change, what they'll want
 next...Impossible to please everyone, so I say instead that you are right.
 If the series was so successful aimed at a British audience, keep it so
 aimed, and internationally you should keep your audience.
Well that's what I think anyway!! FWIW
Have a nice day, chap!
