Customer Reviews of Red Dwarf - Series 2, Byte 2: Stasis Leak

Boyz from the DWARF!!!
This is a great place to start if you wish to find more out about this phenomenon known as Red Dwarf, however, if you have a DVD player I would spring for the set on DVD of which you can now find series I and II. If you still don't have a DVD player and are looking for a good excuse the Red Dwarf series on DVD is it.
The first episode "Stasis Leak" - is one of the more confusing and hilarious combinations of time travel and quick British explanations (which adds to any comedy). You almost feel bad for Rimmer in the end - but not really.
The second installment is "Queeg" - one of my favorite where Holly gets the last laugh.
The final episode in series 2 is "Parallel Universe" guaranteed to split your sides as Lister finds himself in a bad situation.

Three more great episodes of Red Dwarf.
Red Dwarf continued its evolution with these final 3 episodes of the 2nd series.
"Stasis Leak" - One of the best episodes. The crew finds a way to go back to Red Dwarf before the accident, and Rimmer decides to try to save himself from his untimely death. It doesn't work.
"Queeg" - The crew votes to relieve Holly of his duties and the much more strict Queeg 500 takes over and begins a reign of terror. Chris Barrie does an excellent job of running while asleep.
"Parallel Universe" - Holly invents the Holly Hop Drive (a box with a start button pasted on), and sends the crew to an alternate universe where everything is the opposite, with female versions of Rimmer, Lister and Holly, and a Dog instead of a Cat. The female Rimmer is hilarious.

Recommended to fans of sci-fi and/or comedy
In Series 2, Red Dwarf really took off as a top sci-fi series with comedy element. "Stasis Leak" was the first episode I ever saw, and from that moment on I was hooked on the stories with their clever plotlines, strong characters and interesting concepts. "Stasis Leak" involves fluid which can block out time, the surviving crew of the ship finding a doorway into the Red Dwarf of three million years ago, before the accident. Lister wonders whether he could persuade his loved one to go into cryogenic freezing, therefore surviving the disaster, but Rimmer has similar plans for himself. "Queeg" involves the previously overlooked Red Dwarf back-up computer which takes over from the senile Holly but soon proves himself to be a total task-master. "Parallel Universe" opens with a marvellously surreal song-and-dance routine and soon has the crew finding an alternative reality containing female versions of themselves (well, some of them do. Cat is in for a disappointment). Three first-class episodes of a first-class series.
