I've been rewatching the classic era of #RedDwarf lately. I loved it a lot from its first broadcast and throughout the VHS era, but hadn't gone back in a long time.

A lot of it holds up, but I'd forgotten how generally bleak and sour its whole vibe had gotten behind the jokes. From Series V, if you squint at the screen a little you can see Grant and Naylor hating the crap out of each other more and more with each episode.

We have been watch #RedDwarf as a family. My 13yo daughter thinks it's really funny and to quote her "makes me feel smart".

Which is exactly what that kind of dumb humour is designed to do.

The goal of making the next generation understand our references continues!

It's interesting how the transition of Holly from Levett to Hayridge in season 3 hits very differently for their generation. And better than life is just a VR game with budgeting issues.

The fact BlueSky shortens to BS feels like an object lesson in how not to name things. The same lesson Paramount/CBS learned with Star Trek: Discovery and the Committee for the Liberation of Terrifying Organisms and Their Rehabilitation Into Society should really have put their finger on earlier.
