S02E01: Kryten

[14:55] xtrebe
Season 2, Episode 1

[14:55] xtrebe
Kryten

[14:56] ZeroCool
Why is Rimmer learning Spanish if there are no humans?

[14:56] ZeroCool
Why can't Holly just program him to know Spanish?

[14:56] xtrebe
Wait, it's Esperanto.

[14:56] xtrebe
Which is even more useless.

[14:56] ZeroCool
haha

[14:57] xtrebe
Everything he does is pointless.

[14:57] ZeroCool
that is true

[14:57] ZeroCool
I noticed that season 1 simply had Lister mocking aliens the entire season and it carries over into this season yet the rest of the series deals with a ton of aliens

[14:58] xtrebe
Yeah

[14:58] xtrebe
I wonder at what point they decided to make Kryten permanent.

[14:59] ZeroCool
when they decided to redo his makeup entirely

[14:59] ZeroCool
and outfit

[14:59] xtrebe
Also, while the Kryten in this episode has his moments, I'm very glad he didn't end up being the real Kryten.

[14:59] ZeroCool
his shiny suit was pimp

[14:59] xtrebe
ha ha

[14:59] xtrebe
Yeah, his butler outfit.

[14:59] ZeroCool
made out of a garbage bag

[14:59] xtrebe
Or are you referring to Kat's space suit?

[14:59] xtrebe
Which was also shining.

[14:59] ZeroCool
No but that was a different point

[14:59] xtrebe
*shiny

[14:59] ZeroCool
was the suit functional? a day and a half and an "idiot" made it? impressive

[15:00] xtrebe
ha ha

[15:00] xtrebe
Maybe he just glued glitter and tin foil to a real space suit.

[15:00] xtrebe
Although, it never shows them actually need a space suit

[15:00] xtrebe
they go from ship to ship to ship and are never outside

[15:00] xtrebe
not that I remember

[15:00] ZeroCool
The outer door was open when he boarded

[15:00] ZeroCool
which made no sense

[15:00] xtrebe
Ah

[15:01] xtrebe
So, my favorite joke of the episode.

[15:01] xtrebe
Kryten comes back, Lister tells them their dead.

[15:01] ZeroCool
Yup, mine as well

[15:01] xtrebe
Kryten says "I was only way 2 minutes!"

[15:01] ZeroCool
one of the best of the season and series so far

[15:01] xtrebe
Yeah, it was solid.

[15:01] ZeroCool
I also liked Lister talking up Rimmer to the skeletons

[15:01] xtrebe
Ha ha ha, yeah, that was good

[15:01] xtrebe
That whole scene with the skeletons was great.

[15:02] ZeroCool
It really was

[15:02] ZeroCool
a good start to Season 2

[15:02] ZeroCool
is that a new laughtrack or a studio audience? very distracting

[15:02] xtrebe
Oh, and Lister getting all dressed up to visit.

[15:02] xtrebe
Spray painting his buttock

[15:02] xtrebe
That was also great.

[15:02] xtrebe
As for the audience.

[15:02] xtrebe
I think I remember hearing that for season 1 they just got random drunks from nearby pubs to be in the audience.

[15:03] xtrebe
This is probably a "real" fake audience.

[15:03] ZeroCool
it was noticeably different

[15:04] ZeroCool
Kryten struggles to fight his programming for his entire existence yet manages to rebel against Rimmer in a day

[15:04] xtrebe
Ha ha

[15:04] xtrebe
It was beginner's luck.

[15:09] xtrebe
I'd say it got slightly less funny after the ship scene.

[15:09] ZeroCool
that is true

[15:09] xtrebe
So, the first 2/3rd were excellent, last 1/3rd a bit weaker

[15:09] xtrebe
though not bad

[15:10] ZeroCool
A promising start to the season
