Found this to be the funniest so far. Probably because it was a Rimmer episode.
Didn't feel as rushed as the others and had a proper ending.
And another good sci-fi plot which has probably been the strongest thing about this series.
Agreed, it felt most like the "golden era" in terms of humour and sci-fi concept and very satisfying, although the ending was rather abrupt. Loved the Rimmer Monster, truley terrifying haha!
shareI agree, the best one yet out of series XI. It actually felt like it could have been a series III-V episode.
shareFunniest episode in ages!
shareRimmer duplicating himself had a very Me2 vibe. I'm surprised he's risk it again.

He mentioned Rimmerworld in Back in Earth, I'm pretty sure he's a hybrid of the original hologram and nano Rimmers.
I don't care about a troll who doesn't pay for his opinion telling me how to review movies.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

You're exceedingly naive.
shareYou do know the cast, trivia, etc, on IMDB can be edited, right?

I believe it to be the best episode so far of this season.
... Always remember Hollywood is run by 3 things : Greed, Fear, and Stupidity ...
Proper ending? Were we watching the same show? This was probably the worst example of the sudden endings that are so prevalent this season.
Aside from that though, I agree with you - fantastic episode overall in my opinion. I think that each episode so far has been an improvement on the one before (and it started off very well with Twentica).

They kill the monster.
What more do you want after that? A discussion about how they felt about it? A funeral?
We don't see the death of the monster. We see them fire the bazookoids - and then that's it. Ideally it should have ended on a joke (like the "has anyone got a poppadom?" joke at the end of DNA), but even just showing the monster explode would have been a better ending.

Feels more like a cliffhanger than an actual conclusion.
shareDare I say it, I felt like the episode slightly 'jumped the shark'. He suddenly gets the opportunity to be made officer and immediately turns back in to Rimmer circa series 2 with no time for meaningful 'screw slowly going loose through power' adjustment inbetween. It's probably like aspects of Quarantine meets DNA with a touch of Better Than Life (plus 'The Rimmer Experience' in the barbershop quartet) , although the 3D printer idea was wonderfully bizarre and fresh.
Agree, certainly the best of the series and the writing and plot was as good as anything from series 2-3! This was a proper old school epsiode.
Loved Krytens little comment about Rimmer and his past of being with himself (nods to Me2, Ace and Rimmerworld).
Certainly got renewed faith in the series after this.
There hasn't been a more humorous episode since Polymorph!
shareThe whole season has been a return to form for me. This episode especially. I didn't like the quick ending but whatever. Best the show's been since series 6. All of the characters are back in character again. The ep with Lister kidney thieving himself is one the funnier things i've ever seen on the show. And the ridiculous snack bot as well. Terrific stuff. I find the show works best when they deal with the aftermath of an adventure on Red Dwarf, rather than the whole episode being an adventure.
"I said no camels, that's five camels, can't you count?"
Damn good episode. Best Rimmer episode of series XI to be sure.
