I haven't gotten to see it yet, so I can't vote, and I skipped all of your quick overviews of episodes, just in case.
Red Dwarf is by far one of my favorite shows. The crazy ideas and concepts they experience has sparked many an odd conversation. I can't wait to see what this latest season holds.
I enjoyed it, was it on par with seasons 1-4, or even 5-6? No, but it was funny. Episode 6 was the best, though they were all pretty solid. I do like how the Cat went back to being very catty since the return. In the later part of the original run he was less so, and more just stupid.
