  1. @4THE STORY SO FAR!
  2. =================
  3.  
  4. @5                        The Story so far
  5.  
  6.                         In the latter half
  7.                         of the twenty second
  8.                         century, huge space
  9.                         cruisers powered by
  10.                         hydrogen Ram-Jet
  11.                         drives had colonized
  12.                         the outer fringes of
  13.                         our solar system.
  14.                         Human kind was
  15.                         poised to explore
  16.                         the dark mysteries
  17.                         of deep space.
  18.  
  19.                         We wish we could
  20.                         have told you
  21.                         stories about these
  22.                         brave men and women
  23.                         but we couldn't
  24.                         afford it. Instead,
  25.                         what your getting
  26.                             is this.
  27.  
  28.                         This is the story of
  29.                         a beat-up old
  30.                         mining ship which
  31.                         ambles between Earth
  32.                         and the moons of
  33.                         Saturn, transporting
  34.                         raw materiels which
  35.                         are badly needed by
  36.                             someone.
  37.  
  38.                         Is it just me, or
  39.                         does this sound
  40.                         really tedious? No
  41.                         ones going to like
  42.                         this. A show about
  43.                         people who move
  44.                         rocks from planet to
  45. @5                             planet?
  46.  
  47.                         Intergalactic rock
  48.                         movers? Who are we
  49.                              kidding?
  50.  
  51.                         I didn't even want
  52.                         to be a writer. Do
  53.                         you realize how hard
  54.                         it is to type this
  55.                         fast? My fingers
  56.                           are bleeding.
  57.  
  58.                         Uh-oh. Looks like
  59.                         we're slowing back
  60.                         down. I'd better
  61.                         start making sense
  62.                         again, so all the
  63.                         cheapos who don't
  64.                         have a VCR with
  65.                         freeze-frame will
  66.                         think they really
  67.                         missed out on
  68.                         something important.
  69.  
  70.                             Ahem....
  71.  
  72.                         ...Which you really
  73.                         need to know to
  74.                         understand this
  75.                             story.
  76.  
  77. @4That's it. This is the very beginning of the Red Dwarf American pilot.
  78. The version that I have is the one with a black guy playing CAT, the
  79. other has a woman, and Robert LLewellyn as Kryten. IMHO, Kryten is the
  80. only thing that makes this pilot "bearable". Any comments?
