This is a page where I (Andy) tell what I liked and disliked about the last episode of Red Dwarf.  You can email me and discuss the show.  I will try to update this page as soon as I can after I view the episode.  NOTE: You won't understand my remarks if you haven't viewed the episode.

Episode Summary:  While checking out a lifeless vessel, the crew find a female human body encased in ice and emitting very faint life signs.

My Thoughts on this episode...
'Epideme' was a good episode with a lot of drama and average comedy.  It was kind of interesting with everyone getting their arm cut off.  Also, the Epideme virus is really innoing.  (On a personal note, don't you think that the epideme virus' voice sounded like Cat?)  Here are some of the funny things each character did......    ......or, CLICK HERE to see my rating of this episode

Funny Things
Lister  --  Kryten  --  Cat  --  Others
Kryten
When Kris says that her knowledge makes her special, and all the other crew members a stupid, low-life, morons.  Kryten protests (he graduated from toilet college) and shows his knowledge by giving facts about the john that no one in the right mind would know!
.
When Caroline is molesting Lister (he thinking she is Kochansky) makes noise.  Kryten hears and comes to search Dave's quarters.  While Kris (actually Caroline) hides in the shower, Kryten comes in for a 'emergency dust.'
.
When Kryten can't find Lister's lover, he complains, "You promised you wouldn't like her better than me!  It's because she has a better shaped head than me-isn't it?!
.
When Lister is determined to kill the Epideme virus once and for all, Kris warns him not to leave the air lock.  At the last moment she yells, "Dave Lister if you go through that door, I'll never talk to you again!"  Dave goes anyway.  Wishing she wouldn't have done that, Kris says, "How stupid am I???"  Kryten responds, but is interrupted, "According to my calculations..."
.
When Lister wakes up, Kris gives him a welcoming kiss on his forehead.  Then Kryten quickly squirts some disinfectant spray on Lister's head and whips it with a clothe.  He explains, "Germs."
Lister
While the crew is observing the lifeless vessel, Lister lets out a yelp and freaks out his fellow crew mates.  It turns out that his was just hit with a freezing cold water droplet.  It was painful because it got in to his 'crevasses.'
Cat
When Kris cuts off her hand (actually a fake hand) Cat faints!
Kris
After Kryten leaves, Lister starts to unbutton Kochansky's shirt.  Disgusted, Kris smacks him, knocking him over.

Best Role
This weeks best role goes to...Lister!  I mean, willing to give up your life to safe people in the future, I'd say that deserves some congratulating!  Great job, Lister on your second nomination

My Rating
***
I give 'Epideme - Part 1 of 2'- 3 out of 5.  Good episode with great comedy and drama.
