Episode Summary:   When Rimmer and Lister are forced to take on the guards in a basketball game, they sabotage the opposition's half-time juice with "Boing!"

My Thoughts on this episode...
Pete part 1 was a fairly good episode.  A lot of humor and drama.  Anyone up for peelin' potatoes?  Here are some of the funny things each character did......    ......or, CLICK HERE to see my rating of this episode

Funny Things
Rimmer  --  Lister  --  Kryten  --  Cat  --  Others
Rimmer
Captain Holister said, "I understand you two (Lister and Rimmer) played a prank on a highly respected officer, yesterday."  Rimmer replied, "No, we played it on Mr. Ackerman, sir."
.
Rimmer was playing checkers with himself.
.
When the food is delivered to Lister and Rimmer's cell, Rimmer takes a look at the food and says, "I've seen things more appetizing on the floors of elephant houses!"
.
When he actually tastes the food, he expresses himself by commenting, "They call this meat?  My grandmothers buttocks deep fried would taste better than this!"
.
He, along with Lister, was striped butt naked (and lost all his body hair) by the virus that ate the potato skins.
.
Rimmer shook Captain Holister's hand and transferred the eating virus to him!
.
When they saw the dinosaur, Rimmer said, "Follow the Rimmer-shaped blur!"  Than he ran away.
Lister
Rimmer does his special solute to Captain Holister and Lister just simply waves.
.
Mixed Boing! (a fratility drug) in the guard's half-time juice.
.
Lister bounced the basketball off his head to score.
.
He thinks he has athletes hand.
.
Lister got stumped on a game of "Connect-the-Dots!"
.
To reward Bob for bringing all the food, Lister sprays him with WD-40.
.
Lister uses morse code through an pipe to contact Bob.
.
He, along with Rimmer, was striped butt naked (and lost all his body hair) by the virus that ate the potato skin.
Kryten
Kryten explains that they need to stay together during the canary mission.  When he finishes giving his pep talk, Kryten realizes, he's all alone.  He responds with a high pitched, quiet, "Hello?"
.
When Kryten accidentally changed Cat and Kochansky to little kids, he doesn't want to change them back because they are both "cute as a button."
.
He hides the time wand in his head.  His head was now in a cylinder shape.
.
Kryten changes Pete in to a T-Rex.
Cat
When he first met Mr. Ackerman, he got beat up (by Mr. Ackerman) for saying that Mr. Ackerman seems like a pretty nice guy.
.
Cat climbed up a pile of helpless guards to drop the ball in the hoop.  When it drops, the ball plops right on Mr. Ackerman's head!
Chris
When Kryten and Kochansky were discussing the time wand, Chris says, "This machine's amazing!  Do you think it does boob jobs, too?"
Holly
When they find the mimes, Kryten explains that they are not frozen, they are just moving incredibly slow.  As another example, Holly adds, "About the same speed as the average Little Chef waitress."
Mr. Ackerman
Mr. Ackerman said, "My nickname is Nicey Ackerman!"
Bob (scutter)
He brings Lister all this great food while Rimmer is stuck there eating crap!
.
When he walked down the hall he would whistle a happy little tune.
.
Bob got Lister, Rimmer, and Bird Man out of the hole.
Bird Man
He gives a long explanation to tell that Pete is 9 years old.
Pete (dinosaur)
Pete sneezes, getting snot all over Bird Man.

Best Role
This weeks best role is actually this weeks best roles.  Rimmer and Lister win this time!  With all their pranks and ways to get out of punishment is hilarious!  Congratulations Rimmer on your 2nd nomination!

My Rating
***
I give 'Pete' -- Part 1 of 2 3 out of 5.  This episode had great humor and suspense.

The crew in their basketball team uniforms.
