wow this looked like another Hollywood abortion 

[SuperYellow1989]

i dont see why Americans felt the need to remake it, the UK show was perfect...why not just air that version in the US?

[Nx772]

Let's agree...the US Pilot was utter shit.

@bluejeckett yes but that's the point Doug was making- that there was a failure of the US writers to tailor the character of Lister as scripted to the actor, hence why he highlighted the problem with the Kochanski sub-plot being that someone as good looking as him should have no trouble getting a date from her or indeed having a pick of the women enough to not be interested in the uptight woman.

I've heard that Alan Rickman tried to get the part of Rimmer before Chris Barrie got the role. Wonder what he would have been like?

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Americans ruin it

[gaozhi2007]

The American pilot is worse than the Star Wars Holiday Special. Glad it was aborted before it grew into a monster.

[BrianMcD86]

I had no idea that the Kryten actor wasn't really American

[bluejeckett]

Doug the criticism from fans wasnt that Craig couldnt be funny cos he was good looking, the criticism was that he wasn't believable as someone who was a bit of a down and outer when he was 6 foot tall and perfect looking, a down and outer tends to let himself go not have biceps the size of mars and whitened teeth.
