It might seem a bit cliche, but I've always been a Lee Adama fan. Absolutely loved when he became an unmotivated chunkster. Oh man, I'm remembering everything now, I'm going to watch it all over again. The Pegasus storyline, holy moly

Didn't much like Apollo first time round, appreciate him more now.
Also under-appreciated were all the number 6's and Laura Roslin, both actresses did masterful work.
Dr Baltar, Adama and Starbuck all still epic characters. Leoben is mesmerising. Can't wait for Father Cavill.
Pegasus...was that the one with the hardcore lady admiral?
He put in a serious shift for the whole thing, so funny and tragic at the same time.
It was. Probably my favourite storyline, the perfect example of how fractious life can be, even when people are on the same side.

oh aye...we give a lot of credit to the actors but also the writers have to take a bow...not just for the arcs, but also the little things: Gaius interacting with his slightly-schizo 6 and then the camera cuts to how this looks like for onlookers...never gets old!
yeah, she was immense. Casting is so important and she had proper presence.
Maybe why I felt the Zarek storyline failed, his was perhaps a stunt casting. Tho' wonder how Dirk Benedict would've played that.

The Baltar storylines made me laugh all the way through, just so funny in serious situations.
lol Honestly think it was that touch that kept the sci-fi skeptics engaged, Callis deserves a lot of credit for being the fulcrum of the entire series
Aye, he never came across as charismatic enough to lead a prison revolt, or head up an election campaign. Some parallels with Trump's ascendancy now that I think of it. So ahead of its effing time
Series XI of Red Dwarf has been superb

Agreed.
The humour's been spot on but the stories feel a bit like they've been done before.
They have, it's just a blend of old stuff. That's why it's been so good.
Tonight's with the Polymorph has been done serveral times before

True, the polymorph jokes work every time, "That one's a hedgehog in a top hat, sat in a tiny shopping trolley".
It's just that the stories always seemed like proper thought provoking sci-fi, quite clever for a low budget bbc2 comedy show about 4 people annoying each other. I was hoping they might have come up with some new stuff.
