elsewhencesomeone tell me why lister looks so smegging young in stasis leak? i just can't figure it out. sure, he does in all of the earlier seasons, for obvious reasons, but somehow it's especially noticable here. it's driving me craazy.
may i also note that somehow i love any scene set on pre-accident red dwarf? dunno why. it just seems right. like it's really a logical continuation of present-day culture. it's so... imperfect. there's things that don't go right. there's people that aren't perfectly well-balanced and successful and happy. there's machines that don't work exactly as they should, and there's tasks that aren't done by machines because it'd be a waste. there's little everyday problems, some of which don't get solved. some things are more advanced, some have changed, but the basics are exactly the same. the people are exactly the same. it's very different from, say, star trek in that respect. it's a believable future i could see happening. it's familiar. something that seems like it could be your home.
and actually i love all of red dwarf, and especially the world it's set in, for these same reasons; it's just clearly more obvious in the pre-accident scenes because you see more little bits of everyday life in them.
