Yeah, I'm with you on seasons 1 and 2. I definitely thought there were absolute classic eps after that and I did love Kryten but I did find the characters all seemed to lose their edge after the first couple of seasons. Cat wasn't cat-like any more, Rimmer wasn't as much of a dick, Holly wasn't as depressed (or male) and Lister, well, maybe he was the same.
Edit: Speaking of characters, man, that US pilot is cack. I had never seen that before. Aside from Kryten, the characters have nothing.
Season 7 is by far and away the worst. Kochanski was a very weak character compared to Rimmer, and the episode Duct Soup did not, IMO, have a single funny moment in it. The season highlight was Ace Rimmer's parody of James Bond at the beginning of the second episode.
What would you say, eastyy, was the all-time best episode? Gunmen of the Apocalypse for me.
