My favorite joke is something so subtle, I didn't catch it until about my fifth time watching the episode.

I think the psiren calls Lister 'Dave' because Lister really wants Kryten to call him Dave as a sign of their friendship and his growing ability to break his programming so that's what's forefront in his mind. Thata incredibly sweet if so.

You know, with how many changes they made here, I am surprised they didn't give it an elaborate new title, like "Starbug : Red Dwarf Phase II" or "Starbug : A Red Dwarf Story" . Also, the hands of the Psiren playing the guitar in the scene with two Listers are the hands of Phil Manzanera from the band Roxy Music, Grant and Naylor initially wanted to get Brian May of Queen fame, but he wasn't available, however his wife Anita Dobson had a cameo as Captain Tau.

I assumed that in the same way Lister likes to think he can play the guitar, Kryten likes to see himself as fully independent, the sort of being who would be able to treat Lister as an equal and call him Dave, so that's what the Psiren picks up when reading Kryten's mind.

Aaaand there we have those insectoid GELF thingies... Still give me the creeps *shivers* Anyway, I get the feeling that season 6 has an overall darker tone than most of the previous ones - there's some really disturbing imagery and implications of violence here, not to mention the more desperate situation the Crew finds itself in with no Red Dwarf, limited supplies and a greater vulnerability to outside threats. In some ways, season 6 feels a bit like it kickstarted the drama-comedy trend that would become more pronounced in season 7 (a season which, contrary to almost all other Dwarfers, is my favorite of the series). I think it works really well, and provides a somewhat refreshing change of pace from the rest of the series.

I do actually often rewatch them now and again. I even made an effort to make my own edit of both pilots through the use of the poor VHS quality mixed with high quality clips from the Dwarfing USA documentary (like you did in your Vlog). And parts where they used model shots or stock footage from Red Dwarf UK, I took higher quality clips from actual episodes.

Whereas my edit is based on the finished cut with the final sound mix and video effects. Unfortunately I don't have upscaling software, so I haven't been able to do anything with the poor quality clips. Secondly, I wasn't able to redo the 1st pilot end credits (except the Universal logo) as I can't quite read all the credits properly through the poor quality. Or tell what font they used.

I was the opposite in feelings from you, Dena, and I will explain why. First of all, I hate the look of giant bugs and seeing them up close. They are too creepy and too scary in my opinion. The Psirens could have looked like something else, and it would have been better. Secondly, with Lister having amnesia, they could have used it in this episode more openly. They could have had a Psiren meet up with them and drain all four of them of their memories. Then they go around in space wondering why they are there as well as who they are. I will give Psirens credit on only one thing. A few weeks ago, I saw a movie called "Carrie", which included a great deal of blood scenes. Compared to Carrie, The Psirens episode looks like the "Barney the Dinosaur" show. Other than that, Psirens was not a fun episode for me. Be forewarned. Don't eat anything with ketchup on it while watching this episode.
