After saikogrrl brought up the implications of Rimmer having a "hard light" body, I couldn't not choke to death on his following line from series 7 of Red Dwarf:

"The only bonding I want to do with [Ace Rimmer] involves a tube of superglue and rabid hamster."

After which, all three of the others give him this hugely suggestive "HUH!?!?" look, which makes it a hundred times worse.

I was about to post something about television shows, but dotsomething got there first.

Fortunately, I have a different slate of shows on my docket! ( Which you can hear about here! )

I'm sure I will stick with the shows I already watch, barring any of them sucking so hard I drop them (Smallville, I am looking in your direction), and not really take up with any other new ones, which is funny because TV shows are making up more than half my Netflix queue right now. I figured, so long as I have the two-discs-at-a-time plan I should make the most of it and rent the things that I would most benefit for having two discs of at once. I started it for Red Dwarf's last two seasons which aren't on just the one disc, but I chucked on a few series I had recommended to me (Deadwood's on there from my cousin raving and deepredbelle praising). It's such a strange turn for me because I've never liked TV as much as movies (animated series notwithstanding). I think it's the TWoP influence--they've been loving Prisonbreak in their newest recaps so very hard, I've been considering that, which is amazing. Hell, I could catch up with the phenom of 24, borrow my mother's set of the first two seasons (and, again, only because Kiefer Sutherland makes me ruin my chair with his hotness--ugh, that was TMI, my bad).

Oh, but speaking of Red Dwarf? The "lost" Cat-centric episode? I don't want it ever filmed. In fact, I wish they could ret-con the entire season out of being filmed just to have Chris Barrie narrate the storyboard stills. I noticed before that he does some wicked good impressions, especially in the Old West simulation where he had a perfect middle American accent going (meaning not accented at all, no Southern drawl or NE twangs, just blandly American, which is fucking hard to do--I can't even do that). Then I watched the episode where he narrates in his natural voice, which is different from his own voice as Rimmer, and then he did everyone else on the show perfectly. I wonder what the other actors thought of his impression. For a moment, I didn't believe it wasn't the guy who plays Kryten speaking. His Lister is almost as good, and his Cat, though not great, is still amazing. I would have loved him to do Holly.

And, my God, I get Kochanski for the rest of the season instead of Rimmer? I spoiled myself by reading trivia about the show on the IMDB, and apparently Chris Barrie only did four episodes of the eight for this season, which makes my brain hurt because it means I've only one more with him in it as he's been in all three of the ones on the first disc. Kochanski's reality--where Lister is the hologram and her the last human--sounds like HELL. If I had to put up with Lister and Kryten and Cat without Rimmer to difuse their boringness by mocking them all and being hilariously silly, I'd jump ship for the show's universe in a heartbeat.
