Me² 5/10 - Rimer vs. Rimmer is quite fun to watch as is Rimmer's death, but the whole episode somehow fails to work as there's not much for the rest of the cast to do.
Kryten 7/10 - This is a brilliant episode, Kryten is a wonderful character and fits in well with the others and the rebel scene is just magical.
Better Than Life 8/10 - RD2 is firing on all thrusters now as this is a wonderful storyline as we see the crew induldge in all their fantasies except Rimmer's all go wrong with hilarious results.
Thanks for the Memory 5/10 - It starts off well but kind of loses it during the flashbacks and we get no resolution either as we don't see what happens once the final flashback ends so we never know if they bury the memories phystically again or just try to pretend it never happened.
Stasis Leak 9/10 - Wonderful stuff with a bizarre twist ending and the final time we see the Kochanski until Ouroboros (the illusion in Psirens isn't real) and Rimmer assasuting Hollister is a classic!
Queeg 7/10 - A somewhat quiet and subdued episode compared to the rest of the season. It's all for nothing too but it's funnier that way but it never quite seems to work right.
Parallel Universe 8/10 - Tongue Tied is a wonderful intro to the episode and really lets Danny let loose as a singer and dancer. However it's Lister's episode in the end as he not only sleeps with his other self he also gets knocked up, much to Rimmer's delight!
Backwards 9/10 - The opening Star Wars scrawl tells us of all the things they don#t want to show happening on screen, Lister giving birth, Holly's head sex change and Kryten's arrival. The episode proper feels like the series has been turned up a few notches too. There's new sets, new uniforms and more gags per minute. Plus the Star Trek IV invisible ship gag is good too. Kryten's disguise is my favourite scene. The handling of backwards time however is done really badly with some things happening before they should.
Marooned 7/10 - A Lister and Rimmer piece that really opens their characters up and lets them wander in new places. Rimmer lies about losing his virginity when he was younger (we already know he lost it on Red Dwarf to Yvonne McGruder) while Lister reveals he was only twelve! Lister destroying Rimmer's property to save his own is also slightly out of character too, Lister's usually a pretty selfless person on the whole but I guess it's more funny for him to be a bit of a git like Rimmer this once.
