Age of the future selves

Just noticed Kryten saying in season 6 episode 6 that the future selves of the crew were some 15 years in the future. Assuming the crew were in their late 20s/early 30s that would place the future selves at 45/49. However, even when I saw this episode first as a kid, I assumed they were all at least in their mid 50s, early 60s, which doesn't explain the time discrepancy.

Rover'ostomy?

Season 8 Hollie said to Lister he could do his entire sentence in 14 weeks if he had a Rover'ostomy.

What did would you change into?

German Shepard for me.

Holly chatbot

I've been watching Red Dwarf again lately, and been wondering if anyone had made a chatbot with holly's voice and face.

I found this post but nothing more: Holly chatbot for Garmin/Web/Android/iOS : r/RedDwarf (reddit.com)

So i started looking for what could be used and found this: GitHub - Shaunwei/RealChar: 🎙️🤖Create, Customize and Talk to your AI Character/Companion in Realtime (All in One Codebase!). Have a natural seamless conversation with AI everywhere (mobile, web and terminal) using LLM OpenAI GPT3.5/4, Anthropic Claude2, Chroma Vector DB, Whisper Speech2Text, ElevenLabs Text2Speech🎙️🤖

Tried it, it works pretty well. It's obviously still glitchy and would need some tuning, I work in IT but have little to no experience with these kind of tools, but it's still fun i think.

I'm trying to find a way to put a face on this and animate it in real time, easiest way would be to take a video loop and just change the lips to sync it with the audio but it's hard to find good material and the result might be quite bad. The hard way would be some combination of rendering Holly's face to make a metahuman out of it ( MetaHuman | Realistic Person Creator - Unreal Engine ) and animate it with this: Audio2Face AI Powered Application | NVIDIA

Might try it for the science ^^

Anyway here's a video of what it sounds like for now. If anyone wants to try and replicate (and improve !) this i'll share the files i created to use in RealChar.

Would any of you smegheads like a free copy of a Smegazine?

Just found this while having a clear out and, while it’s far from brand new, it does have all its pages and is still a good read! It’s No.2 from Volume 2 and if you’re in the UK I’m happy to post it out to somebody so drop a reply below:)

It makes perfect sense for Rimmer to stay in BTL

I was just re-listening the audio books and it would make sense to Rimmer to enter the game and never to leave.

SPOILER ALERT! Don't keep reading if you are planning on reading/listening the books.

As we know Better Than Life is so much more brutal in the books. You can enter but basically you can never leave and your body in real life withers and dies.

Cat enters. Lister follows to rescue him. Rimmer enters to rescue them both. They are living their fantasies but are dying in real life. Expect Rimmsy. He could've stayed playing for another 3 milion years. The only downside is that his psyche won't let him live a fantasy life. Which pretty nicely concludes the Tragedy of Arnold Rimmer.

Why does Toaster appear rarely?

It seemed like series 1 set him up to be a recurring character, but then he only shows up twice later in the entire show (in series 4's "White Hole" and series 12's "Mechocracy").

Given that Toaster's a fan favourite, why doesn't he show up in more episodes?

And would you like some crumpets?

EDIT: I know Lister locked him up, I'm talking about real-world reasons

Why does Rimmer admire Hitler?

It's well known that he's an immoral sleazebag, but there's no indication that he'd even subscribe to any of his ideology.

It would be really stupid to admire Hitler for his leadership qualities, because he was a moron who had the luck to be at the right place at the right time and did many many blunders that made it the more unnecessarily difficult to win ww2 and made the Holocaust the more tragic for how meaningless the genocide was from the standpoint of the perpetrators.

Lister's ring

Just watched White hole (S4 E4). At 24:30 - 24:39, Listers flashback to playing pool has him wearing a ring on his left ring finger.

Is there a known reason he looks like he has a wedding ring at this time?

Red Dwarf got me told off at work.

So each day at work we have a team "huddle" where we discuss what we did yesterday and what we plan to do today. They are just our little team of about 8.

As prep for this, we go to a website and fill in some "aims" for the day. Normally all very predictable. "close X amount of cases", "chase up outstanding cases" etc.

So I decide to mix it up and add "Win Self Determination for the South-Moldovian People" (Kryten in Quarantine, I think) at the bottom of my aims.

Apparently that was unprofessional and I am to stop that.

Am I missing out, not watching newer episodes?

I love binge watching the first load of seasons. I stsrt to lose interest a little when Kochanzki (sp) joins and I've never watched past them coming back to red dwarf.

I couldn't tell you why. Guess I don't like change 🤣

Should I be watching these? Am I missing out?
