Red Dwarf - Series 5

Rating:
Summary: Best of all the series.
Review: Finally! The very long wait for Red Dwarf DVDs will soon be over. In my opinion this is the year that Red Dwarf was at its peak. They had really nailed everything down and they hadnt gone of on a completely wild tangent. Now all we need is for the movie to go into production finally.

Summary: Series 5 is Where This Show Loses It!!!
Review: How could you ruin such a Nickelodeon classic? This is the show of David the gnome and all of his forest friends that he encounters along the way. There aren't really any good episodes on this disc except "I've Gnome David the Gnome for atleast a Decade". Previous seasons are much better and include the now timeless classics: "Phone Gnome", "Marry Him???? I Hardly Gnome" and of course "David the Gnome Gets Drunk Off of Dandelion Wine".

Summary: Packed with terrific, thoughtful and dense humor. Wonderful!
Review: Red Dwarf Series 5 is filled with wonderful character exploration and insightful social commentary, yet delivers the same hilarious and dense level of humor as the series that came before it. Holoship gives a wonderful, humanizing look at Rimmer beyond the annoying exterior and Back to Reality is a tremendous look at the motivations and inner workings of all of the major characters in one of the funniest Red Dwarf episodes ever; it also delivers a delightful plot twist the first time you see it. Series 5 reveals a great comedy show delivering some of it's very best writing yet. Episodes include:

1. Holoship - Rimmer leaves Red Dwarf to go to the Holoship Enlightenment where he must compete with the best of the Space Corps to remain aboard. Everything he wants is on this ship. Will he make the cut and find true love as well?

2. The Inquisitor - The Inquisitor travels time and erases the unworthy from existence and the Red Dwarf crew, having not led the most productive lives, are on his list.

3. Terrorform - Rimmer becomes a prisoner of his own nightmares and must be rescued by the rest of the crew.

4. Quarantine - Contagion from a viral research centre causes Rimmer to force the rest of the crew to spend twelve weeks in quarantine. But who is really infected?

5. Demons & Angels- When the crew meet their evil doubles, things get unpleasant and the actors get to play interesting twisted versions of their usual characters.

6. Back to Reality - In a great plot twist that I won't give away here, the crew of Red Dwarf find that all things are not as they seem. Will life ever be the same?
