Legion's the guy who gives Rimmer the 'hard light' hologram...
Legion? IMHO a very forgettable episode (since I've forgotten it!).
Season 2's Queeg is my favourite, with season 3's Polymorph coming a close second.
Well, we are in disagreement there, mate. Besides Polymorph, which is the episode that got me into Red Dwarf, Legion rules in that it is the perfect showcase for all the characters and their personalities. It's also got great sci-fi elements and a good mix of jokes and slapstick.
Queeg? Eh, it's OK.
Also, can someone explain to me what's so god-awful about series VII? I'm currently watching this set and, besides the crappy video look, I think it is funny and interesting (like the fact that they had JFK kill himself from behind the grassy knoll).

Ah yes, I remember now. No I didn't like that episode. In fact that's what I dislike about latter Red Dwarf: they introduce SF elements that are so blatant, and the audience is treated like they're completely non-SF-savvy. And they continually use Kryten as an exposition tool... and then those awful running jokes (well, one bad joke repeated between each bit of Kryten exposition, e.g. Cat's "deader than..." line). In short, RD was best, IMHO, when it was a comedy that happened to be set in space, rather than a science fiction series trying to be funny.
"That's mine! And this is mine! ..."
Series VIII was more deeply flawed, as it seemed more bound than Series 1, with the boys stuck in prison for the majority of the episodes. The Prison stuff really didn't work for me.
I agree with this. While it was great seeing Rimmer again, them being stuck in jail got old quick.
But you gotta love Rimmer kneeing Death in the nuts
My guide is that Red Dwarf was only really worth watching when Holly was female.
My guide is the other way around. Norman Lovett is the best deadpan comedian there is, and that's a brand of humour that really appeals to me.

But Kachanski - she's like cottage cheese with pineapple chunks in.
SMEG! I forgot to ask if there were any curry houses in Dallas
There's an exceptionally great Indian restaurant in downtown Las Colinas.
