OK?

I thought this season was disappointing, to be frank. Season 7 had some pretty dire content, but at least it didn't suffer from multi-part diahorrea.
The trilogy that opened the series deteriorated each week.
"Cassandra" was a glimpse back to classic Red Dwarf plots.
"Krytie TV" was confused, but funny at times. "Pete" Parts 1 & 2 was absolute PANTS!
Such a thin story dragged out over an hour (it felt like more). Endless apperences before Hollister to spout unfunny dialogue over & over & over...

I haven't seen the elusive finale yet, since the Beeb decided to show it early and unannounced.

The Rimmer/Lister banter was a welcome return to previous style, but the other characters were woefully underserviced.
The throwaway scenes in "Pete" about Kryten and his sentientpenis was just plain embarassing. I felt like switching channels, and I was watching alone! The Cat didn't do a damn thing all season.

I dunno, but judging recent work aganst the earlier seasons I conclude that Red Dwarf either needs new writers BADLY, or should be cancelled forthwith.
