red dwarf is a TV show i have come to love and obsess about through my teenage years. I was an avid fan since the time my dad bought the first season and the series have gone from good to weird to recounting vindaloo related adventures and more OK so the penultimate series dipped but the last picked it up for the end but they didn't really finish it, it was probably the single most anti-climatic. yet funny ending ever. as the grim reaper starts his dialogue just to have rimmer knee him in... well its rimmer have a guess, and then it ends it just stops and i don't know why this was, the saving grace series the best one apart from the first and yet it just stopped. maybe the worst red dwarf episode or the best but rimmer giving the most monumental quote that not even Shakespeare could have written will be a childhood memory that lives with me forever.

Rimmer enters a mirror universe to help destroy a dangerous organism.
This episode has some good moments and sci-fi concepts but is largely unremarkable with the actors once more doing the best they can with fairly average material.
The plot contains some good ideas, but doesn't really flow very well as it gets bogged down by some pretty contrived scenes written for comedy that is rather hit and miss.
I found it frustrating to read (if true) that the original concept for the episode was shelved due to budget expenditure on the dinosaur effects for the Pete episodes. What a bad decision that turned out to be.
Performances as ever are solid with Chris Barrie standing out with largely the better of the jokes.
