Trying to restart it....

<--- Who is that in my avatar

Marvin from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Indeed.

R.I.P. Douglas Adams.

Okay, Red Dwarf question. Should be easy for the UK SciFi master who is our current leader.

What was Lister known as in Cat's Bible?

Cloister the Stupid

And yes, I knew that offhand

And ditto on the RIP

I knew I couldn't slip that one past you. Just couldn't come up with a tougher one.

Give us your best shot SoM.

Not going to do the "best shot" bit, since as the Buffy threads have proven - kiling trivia threads is easy

Now, off the top of my head (May as well stick with the 'Dwarf);

"This is not the deal - you've welched on it!"

Who, what and why

I don't know if I'm remembering this right but here goes.

Who welched: Rimmer
What: A mind swap with Lister
Why: Lister found Rimmer hiding under some blankets and pigging out on junk food when he was supposed to be getting Lister's body back in shape.

Close enough

Need to see more Dwarf episodes. So a clip from the American version on a clip show the other night and about lost my dinner. Very bad stuff. We should quit trying to immitate UK television.

Next question.

What organization did Captain Scarlet work for?

SPECTRUM

And I downloaded the first US pilot. Agreed - baaaaaaad stuff.

I actually thought that one would be a bit tougher. Forgot who I was dealing with.

Heh. I've seen most of the Supermarionation series

Going west now, what is the Scarren Emperor's name?

Oh crap. A Farscape question. Didn't faithfully watch it.

Stelek or something like that.

Ngh... you're very close, but just about far enough away that I can't quite give it....

Long e right?

Steleek?

Ngh... okay, one letter... Staleek was the precise version.

Never said spelling was my strong point. At least I don't post in leet.

Gerry Anderson ('father' of Supermarionation) also did live action shows. Name the only one that lasted more than one season.

I think it was Space 1999, but I'm honestly not sure there.

You're right, as usual.

It was Space:1999. None of his others (UFO is the only one that comes to mind) lasted more than one season. In fact 1999 was supposed to be the continuation (second series) of UFO but they went with it as a different show instead.

You are up again SoM. And I'm leaving so I won't hog the next question.

In which episode did two Listers simultaneously yell "Rimmer, for smeg's sake!!" ?

"The Inquisitor"

Just to add, season five, I think. Episode 2.

It was Red Dwarf V, and 'twas the Inquisitor. Your go FL.

Here's a pathetically easy one, because all the brilliant stumpers I thought up before, I've forgotten the answers to.

What species was Dr. Kitty Ping famed for engineering?

Edit: I know that was an odd way to put my answer, but I haven't seen enarly as much of Red Dwarf as I like; so one night after watching a paltry two episodes on the late night spacefest, I searched out the scripts online and read them all. They were fabulously done, I think someone had just watched every episode and written down everything. Not quite as good as watching them, but very easy to imagine if you'd seen a few episodes.

Hint: this is from a book series (although I think there may have been a video game...)
