One of the biggest joys ofRed Dwarf XIso far has been the increase in Starbug cockpit scenes.
Now, before everyone writes in,Red Dwarfhas always been a show about conflict.
It would never have made it anywhere near this far without a healthy level of antagonism between the leads.
But something feels off here.
The crew get to go out for a proper bit of location filming, and its superb.
Unfortunately, all of that is over around the ten-minute mark, and thats where the episode peaks.
He just doesnt add enough to the story to justify his presence.
Logically, he didnt steal Listers kidneys, because Older Lister had already done that.
Though he probably would have still killed them both after hed finished…
It can be difficult reviewing a show likeRed Dwarf, because every episode is somebodys favorite.
For all we know, Give and Take could end up being widely hailed as a modern classic.
Its certainly not the worst episode of the show.
