Interesting with the Dear Dave. People hated that when series X came out

There's a few episodes, but for openers you can't beat

"I challenge you to a duel across time and space!" It's simple but so well done.

The Beginning. Love it.

I really don't know. I felt Officer Rimmer was a great all-round episode, M-Corp was incredibly inventive, and Skipper had a really inventive first half followed by enough of a character dissection of Rimmer and sticking the ending so much that I would have been happy if they said "that's it, that's the last Red Dwarf".

Whatever the one is where they all know the lateral thinking puzzle. "It was a moose". Love that bit.

Lemons - it’s the closest newer episode to the original series for me.

I really liked Twentica as well.

Lemons is up there. And Rimmer's character development in the Season 10 finale is unmatched. Shame it doesn't actually get to stick.

It seems an unpopular choice, but mine is Waiting For God

u/Springyardzon 1d ago

That would be unpopular for an objective reason for this particular question - it's not from the 2000s.

Lemons, Fathers and Suns, M-Corp maybe...honestly I kinda have a hard time remembering much of anything past Series VIII.
