RD Vlogs: Krysis

[@andreagaul4960]

This was first shown on my 40th birthday which I've always found quite appropriate.

[@monkfan72]

Chris Barrie is also a bit of a car enthusiast. (Understatement of a lifetime.) Also, I see Butler as sort of Kryten's Ace Rimmer. Haha.

[@Cyborcat]

I love that comparison XD

[@garrettcarter5622]

Considering how old the universe is, I doubt the "One intelligent planet" would be Earth. I imagine millions of years ago, he got lucky, and then had nothing but smeg-ups and failures ever since, including us.

[@Cyborcat]

Could be XD

[@Special_Iron]

I have to agree, Rimmer should have had more of a reaction to the Universe confirming the non-existence of aliens in the show. Even in series four, when they encountered that UFO, he was seriously concerned that aliens would return Glen Miller. "We don't want him! Go away! You took him, you can keep the smegger!"

[@charlesjunior5087]

Sometimes this show feels like the dirty cousin of Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

[@ZuShin]

Though its better

[@jasonsamuels3757]

British SCI-FI comedy isn't a terribly huge genre.

[@AxelWedstar411]

I've seen clips from that show and the special effects wouldn't look too out of place in the first two seasons of RD. Zaphod's creepy second head 'n' all.

[@Verillionmiles]

Personally I think Kryten is under appreciated in Red Dwarf, both by the other dwarfers, and by the fans

[@rebajoe]

This reminds me of 'The Inquisitor' where in Krytens case he can't justify his existence cos any good he does is due to programing, yet now here we have Butler who despite not breaking his programming like Kryten did has still done some neat stuff all on his own. So in a way the Inquisitor was a little right in saying Kryten maybe could've been more.

[@TaylorZanderFrancis]

A friend of mine was in the audience for this episode. When Cat says "You talking about me?" following Kryten's rant on how stupid he is, there's a very manly guffaw heard just before the rest of the audience. That's him, hehe. He told me the laugh was in response to Chris Barrie flubbing a line and bringing out his Kenneth Williams impression, a Smeg Up that didn't make it to the DVD, and was edited to be used for Cats entrance instead.

[@Cyborcat]

That's awesome XD

[@StarWarsMoments]

I didn't have to think for a single moment about Earth being the only planet with intelligent life. Wether Rimmer reacts or not, Holly's intros firmly planted the concept that humans are alone. My only question is about the vast proliferation of gelfs and how they themselves have become alien cultures since man went extinct....sorta. Lister is versed in different kinds of gelfs by season 11, and refers to them by type nicknames, like BEGS.

[@crystanubis]

0:53 I just noticed the dish cover is a hard hat with a pull handle bolted to it. Kinda want to make one now for some reason.

[@DarthArachnious]

I love Red Dwarf and Firefly had no aliens. Mankind finally gets out into space and "Oh Shit! We really are alone in the universe".

[@SDK2K9]

Yay I manage to catch a new RD Vlogs video. As a RD fan myself I love these vlogs. ^w^

You don't sound like you're looking forward to Can of Worms. Don't blame you. Poor kitty.

“What is the Point in Cleaning above Eye-level?!?”

[@OleHams]

I like that Butler isn't secretly evil.

[@Cyborcat]

Yeah, that would have been kind of predictable.

[@Axaul]

Love the choice of the throwback reference music

[@jonbilgutay2]

When I watched this episode with my friend we talked about how Butler should have lied about knowing the universe if he wanted to help Kryten. We then remembered that Butler never broke his program and we said "there you go Kryten you're a better liar then Butler."

[@futureravenable]

I wonder what David Ross was doing at the time, missed opportunity not bringing him in as Butler, almost sounds like the guy is trying to do a bit of an impression of the original Kryten as it is. That would be been an amazing bit of meta casting.

[@Cyborcat]

Good point, that would have been interesting!

[@jamesatkinsonja]

When this was made, David Ross was in his 70's and retired. He does pop up in Mechocracy as the voice of 'Talky Toaster' again but that's his only IMDB listing past 2013. I do like the idea of Butler being played by a slightly younger actor [as Dominic Coleman is 14 years younger than Robert Llewellyn] to reinforce the 'Kryten midlife crisis angle but having both Kyrten's in the episode would be fun.

[@smelkus]

I like the way Rimmer asked the universe for proof of it's identity just like Captain Kirk did in Star Trek The Final Frontier when he asked for proof that god was who he said he was

[@Biotic_Warlock]

"Maaaaah!" Edit: The croquet announcer? [posh woman]: "Gosh!"

[@YggdrasilAudio]

Butler's voice reminds me of Brent Spiner.

[@Cyborcat]

Wow, I'm surprised I didn't hear it before.

[@Blurns]

Where did he get hedge clippers? Why would there even be hedge clippers on Red Dwarf?

[@kickingroses8925]

Still not as random as the Traffic Cone.

[@kaelang12]

on a ship that big, i can imagine they'd have a garden to grow food and other plants

[@bluwusky5167]

@@kaelang12 There is a botanical garden on board, I think it was mentioned once in series 4.

[@FildasKirk]

Werent mechanoids series 3000 supposed to look like humans? S6E6: Out of Time: After Lister is knocked out by one of the reality bubbles, taken into sickbay analyzed and identified by Kryten as Series 3000 mechanoid... Rimmer: An earlier model? Then how come he looks so much more sophisticated than you? Kryten: Sir, just because I have a head shaped like a freak formation of mashed potatoes does not mean that I am unsophisticated. Rimmer: Alright then, why does he look more realistically human? Kryten: Humans have always found exact duplicates rather disturbing, sir. The 3000 series was notoriously unpopular. Most of them were recalled. A few slipped the net and went undercover to make new lives in society.

[@SeeminglyOdd]

That was bothering me as well

[@bluwusky5167]

Could there be different versions of the 3000 series, just like there are different versions of the 4000 series? (Mark 3s and Mark 2s were differentiated in Siliconia in series 12). Maybe the human-like 3000 series was an unpopular early prototype, which was written off in favour of the mechanoids we're more familiar with. Butler could be a 3000 series mark 2, whereas Lister was a mark 1.

[@FildasKirk]

@@bluwusky5167 Well, I believe Lister considers himself as the definitive version :P

[@EditedAF987]

Perhaps the 3000 series being human like was part of the reality bubble, and Kryten was unknowingly spouting a false history.

[@Jayfive276]

10:35 - "Not even a stupid plant" ;)

[@shwenty1734]

Space Weavils. Aliens. BOOM! Wrong

[@TheBeird]

Yeah another good episode. But surely, SURELY, the crew of Red Dwarf talking to the Universe itself, should be the very end of the show? Unless they get back to Earth and find Cat inhabited Fiji

[@Cyborcat]

True, it would have been a good note to end on.

[@Wabajck]

Isn't via the continuity of the show this Rimmer is different than the one from the first few seasons? Might explain why he wasn't as crazy about the universe confirming aliens weren't a thing.

[@LukeIdontKnow]

The new Teletubby is criton

[@spencerreynolds0617]

Is it me or does Butlers art gallery look a lot like Leigons? It even has the weird pole structure thingys, the door is in the place of the Leigon art gallery. And yeah, just... thought I’d say that.

[@zionkraze9965]

Have you had ingrowing toenails as well Dena? I've had them as well. And I've both of my big toenails removed because they got infected.

[@Cyborcat]

Same! Not the whole nails, but a piece of it so they can't grow back in. It was a big problem when I was a kid. I thought about mentioning that in the video, but figured it was TMI =P

[@HeiseSays]

Could you make a red dwarf playlist please? I want to binge watch your vlogs.

There is one.

What the point of Daylight Savings in space is? What's the point of having it on Earth?

More like a cross between Iron Man and Big Hero 6.

I could tell from the tone of your voice that you’re not excited to talk about Can of Worms, can’t say I blame you. That and Timewave are the worst episodes of the Dave era IMO, and yes I do mean worse than Back to Earth.
