The results on the recent ship-wide poll on how strictly Rule 4 should be enforced are in.
Even adding the "Less Strict" and "No Change" votes together into a 'Not Stricter' joint category, just over a third of the community still want stricter posting rules. And looking at core contributer votes, it's a near 50/50 split between "No Change" and "More Strict".
Flat out banning crossposts, random references, and "Red Dwarf in the Wild" posts (where someone shares something that simply reminded them of Red Dwarf) seems a little harsh considering the split. But doing nothing at all would also mean ignoring a large proportion of the community... so...
The announcement is still going on.
INTRODUCING SMEGPOST SUNDAY!!
All low-effort "look at this random item / person / haircut / foodstuff / news article / post nothing really to do with Red Dwarf but here is a title quoting/referencing the show so ehhhhh nudge nudge ehhhhhhh, you see what I am thinking ehhhhhhhhhhhh?" posts must now be kept to Sunday, and be given the Smegpost Sunday flair.
To start with we're hoping we can keep the rule on relevancy pretty loose on Sundays as a bit of compromise and see how that goes, so some smeg that would have been removed previously may now stay up on Sundays, but lots of smeg that would have stayed up the rest week will now be removed... so pros and cons, highs and lows, demons and angels.... if the community response is still that posts are just a little too smeggy even on Sundays we can see about raising the bar again later down the line.
Anyone posting smeg on non-Sundays or misusing the Smegpost Sunday flair will get one reminder, which if ignored, will mean they aren't able to post again. Seem fair?
Oh and we'll turn off crossposts for a bit and see how that goes.
MESSAGE ENDS

I used to watch Red Dwarf semi-regularly, and only on a recent re-watch did I finally notice a few things about the music:
The two songs Lister sings (and hums) in Season 1 are just different parts of the same song - Ganymede and Titan is a line from Lunar City Seven.
In "Thanks for the Memory" Rimmer's dream song Someone to watch over me is the same song he drunkenly starts singing moments before falling asleep.
In "Parallel Universe" the disco music is the instrumental track from Tongue Tied from the same episode.
Are there any other interesting facts about music in the show that I've likely missed?

I always thought this guy looked like Dave Lister, but he probably looks nothing like Craig Charles IRL... Who is he anyway?

iโm a costume design student and one of my topics is to create an entire outfit inspired by someone or something. of course i chose Cat.
i already have an overall idea โ animal print, fur, loafers, a lot of layers, mixing different textures
but is there anything i should add? absolutely ANYTHING that screams Cat? ๐โโฌ

Probably no big deal in the UK but very satisfying to find in Ohio!

Chris is doing a signing in Derby today, so I went along. Had a nice chat, got an autograph and selfie with him - what a guy!

My husband and I got together because of a Talkie Toaster joke when we met, working in a kitchen, 9 years ago. It has always been sort of the background of our relationship (this morning, going out to walk the dog at 5am, i said 'It's cold outside'... You know what followed). And every night we take turns to pick the episode to fall asleep to.
It varies but my husband's favourite for this purpose is The End, mine is Backwards. I think these are both relatively quiet episodes, maybe that's why. These are not our favourite episodes to actually watch, which I think is part of the reasoning (I can never sleep to Timeslides for example, because I absolutely have to see Rimmers 'I ask myself, who is the rich man?' speech, still cracks me up.)
Interested to know if other people are doing this and what their choices are!

Thank you. I've been watching Red Dwarf for decades and your high pitched burst of laughter always brings a smile to my face. I know you'll never see this but how much you must have enjoyed seeing the action live and absolutely loving it makes this episode in particular one of my favourites. You were absolutely loving it.

Iโm rewatching it at the moment, episode one and itโs just reminded me I had no idea what I was doing on my German written exam at high school and end up writing repeatedly โIch bin eine Fischโ repeatedly thinking I was hilarious! ๐คฃ

On David Gilmourโs team, playing against Roger Taylor.
Top 80s stuff, this.

Rimmer actually didn't have a half decent physique

Hugely important for me to say this first, I love RD. itโs comforting, I have immense memories as a kid in my mates house whoโs older brother had what seemed like hundreds of VHSโ of it. It will always be with me and I love it. But after a number of years away from it I recently watched a couple of episodes againโฆ and it just wasnโt funny ๐ (S2 RD as well). I found it comforting, as mentioned, and I enjoyed it. But fuck me it wasnโt funny at all. My fondness got me through, not the comedy.
Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe itโs just dated and tame these days.
