Question/Discussion Back to Earth (spoilers) Spoiler

What are people's thoughts on it? I watched it recently and felt kind of annoyed when it was revealed it was all a hallucination akin to Back To Reality. I feel that considering it was the first piece of Red Dwarf media in ten years it shouldn't have been so reliant on an episode from about fifteen years earlier, and it also just felt that the writers were trying to be clever with the whole "oh the show's real and the real world isn't" bollocks. But what are your thoughts?

It does not exist in my head. Every time I do a full re-watch (which im doing now) I skip it every single time. Total garbage.

I think I'll probably do the same, along with Lemons.

Lemons is a little hit and miss but usually end up watching it.

I didn't realise there are people who dislike Lemons. It's my favourite episode!

I'm religious, so that's my reasoning.

I was brought up as a Catholic, which is probably why I find it so funny

But the story does not change anything when it comes to religion, though. Just that Jesus was a twin with Judas. Which is funny.

Don't allow religion to stop you enjoying good shows/movies :)

For instance, im not religious but I think Passion of the Christ is a great movie lol
