I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

I'm not really a Doc Who fan, for me, it's Red Dwarf. Shame not many people talk about that.

Personally, I'd rather feel nothing. I've been on both sides of the fence and find emotion to be a burden more than anything.

the simplicity of not feeling much of anything can be nice, but you got to spice things up every now and then, ya know?

@Teeth Congrats! In my opinion, the first 2 seasons are alright. The 3rd season was when the show got good.

Well, I love character-based stuff, so I liked S1 and 2 a lot as well. They run almost entirely off of the chemistry between the characters rather than being driven by the new creature/technology of the episode. Not that the later ones are bad at all; they're pretty great too because they can really stretch the premise rather than being as limited. I just think both sets of episodes have their own charm.

Also, Queeg was hilarious.

@Marcen What was your take on Female Holly? To me she just seemed bland after her first initial appearance.

I personally preferred male Holly. He had a better rapport with the crew. It helped that he occasionally snipped back at them, like in Balance of Power where he gave Rimmer the wrong arm, or... all of Queeg, basically. Female Holly serves largely the same purpose, but she doesn't bounce off the rest of the crew like the male version did.

@Japanese Teeth Same here, at least with the Male Holly, he could be humorous at times but with the Female Holly it was just like why is she here? Isn't she meant to be an alternative counterpart anyway?

@Star and Teeth

I thought she was meh. I mean, you can't top guy Holly. She wasn't given much to do because well, there wasn't much.

Guys, I got to go. I'll be seeing ya. And the new episodes of RD will be coming in 2015!

The other thing is that I just found the premise funnier when the ship is a total sausagefest. Something about the cast consisting four guys trying to coexist without getting on each other's nerves struck me as inherently amusing, and even though Holly isn't an actual woman, making her female just sort of throws the dynamic a bit.

@emotions. I was like that for my first few months of depression. Yay, now I don't have to give a fuck about anything!

Then the And I Must Scream nature kicked in. I don't give a fuck about anything...

This is true. I figure I don't have to worry too much about that, though, because neither side can be absolutely 100%. So if I just roll with whatever leaks through, I'll get that spice up dose sooner or later.

Then the And I Must Scream nature kicked in. I don't give a fuck about anything...
Wait, but if you care about that, doesn't that, by definition, mean that you care and act as a counterpoint? Still, I acknowledge that that initial realization must have really sucked.

That's cognitive dissonance for you. It doesn't have to make sense. Just so long as your mind wants to guilt trip you.
