Bit random but hass any body noticed the connections between Firefly and Red Dwarf, im talking the BBC version here, although the american version was cancelled really early, but you have a small group on a beaten up old ship doing what they can to keep going, also theres NO ALIENS, (Gelfs are Genetically Enginered Lifeforms not Aliens) any one else see this? or is it just my poor deranged mind.
I dont suffer from madness, I enjoy it.

*grins* Ah Red dwarf gotta love it. With cracky mpreg, need for Indian food and Ace Rimmer you can't help but love. Luckily got 8 series but alas cancelled after that too-another thing in common.
I hadn't really thought about it, but i must admit to being there now. Darn you are instilling the RD/FF bunnies i swore to ignore! lol *hugs*

Actually I always thought of Red Dwarf having more in common with Quark, the intergalactic garbage scow.

Pretty much. Season 8 finished on a cliffhanger and all plans to end on a new season or movie have fallen through-at least that's what i've seen online and from brief scourings of the web site.

Quark was a short-lived SF comedy created by Buck Henry (co-creator of Get Smart)which starred Richard Benjamin as the Captain Adam Quark of an intergalactic garbage scow which somehow, kept ending up saving the galaxy. Among the ship's crew was Ficus the first mate who was a humanoid plant; Betty 1 & 2 one was a clone but nobody, including the girls, knew which; Andy the neurotic robot (who actually pre-dated Marvin the paranoid Android of HHGttG) and Jean/Gene who kept switching from one sexual gender identity to the other. They reported to Otto Palindrome who in turn answered to The Head.

Hmmm odd, lol. Looks interesting. Ship picture had me turning my head from side to side, it looks like two jumbo jets mushed as mirror images and clones? That really does call for smut.
Thanks for the link. Never seen it, think i'll stick with Red dwarf though *grins* I love the humour.

No surprising you didn't see it. It was on for only 8 episodes but was very amusing. I think it made me pre-disposed to watching RD. I have those on video and will eventually get DVDs, but for now the tapes are holding up.

"Oh don't give me any of that Star Trek crap! It's too early in the morning!"
gotta love Red Dwarf. Although I never noticed the similarities with Firefly before! Nice catch, TrenchMonkey!
