Red Dwarf - Series 5

It's brown alert time all over again for Red Dwarf fans with the fifth season of the much-loved U.K. sci-fi/comedy series. Episode-wise, it's business as usual for the crew of the Red Dwarf--that is, if one considers encountering an alien squid that squirts a despair-inducing hallucinogen (Back to Reality, later voted the best episode of the series by British viewers--and Stephen Hawking!), evil (and not particularly bright) versions of the crew (Demons and Angels), a virus that causes insanity (Quarantine), and a trip to a moon created entirely from the mind of the insufferable hologram Rimmer (Terrorform) business as usual. In short, it's six hilarious episodes, highlighted by the typically terrific writing of creators Rob Grant and Doug Naylor (who also direct two episodes). As with the previous deluxe DVD releases, Series V features a wealth of supplemental features, the most intriguing of which is a look at the failed attempt to recreate the show in America (with U.K. cast member Robert Llewellyn and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Terry Farrell as Cat). Also included are cast and fan commentaries, featurettes on the show's science and villains, special effects tests, blooper reels, and a sampling of Grant and Naylor's BBC 4 radio sketch Dave Hollins, Space Cadet, which served as the inspiration for Red Dwarf. Dedicated DVD owners will also be rewarded by Easter eggs lurking throughout the menus. --Paul Gaita ...
