Usually i tend to hate every new show here, and then slowly warming to them before adopting them as part of my daily dose of internets. This show I loved the first ep of. Now lets hope that that doesnt imply that I will begin to hate it eventually =P | |
I thought that the moment I read the title, since Lister and Rimmer were essentially space janitors themselves. I was honestly expecting a Red Dwarf rip off from the get go. That opening scene with the spray bottle is JUST the sort of thing RD would have pulled but it got a laugh from me and it just worked. They seem to have taken a formula that has been done before and somehow made it feel new and fresh and exciting. Frankly it looks to have higher production values than RD ever had as well! I am loving the whole vibe that the exciting parts happen around and separate from the main characters. I cannot wait to see more of this. | |
Does anyone else think that looked like the Reboot symbol on their arms? | |
I only caught a small preview, but I agree that it has a strong Red Dwarf feel. You know what it's missing ? | |
well that was pretty boring and the acting seemed a bit forced...expected more considering this isn't even an original concept. fail imo | |
Kewl, looking forward to more! | |
It's already better than the Star Wars prequels. | |
This has potential, looking forward to more. | |
Okay, I really like this. There is so much you can do here. The premise is just perfect, the two characters we are introduced to are familiar but interesting, and being some sort of Star Wars (Or heck, Sci-fi in general) parody from a perspective I don't think has been taken before shows good thinking and I can't wait until the series starts. Calumon: Hey, we already pay for the pub wub dub club! I don't wanna pay again! Jack: You don't pay, I do! You cost ME money! Calumon: :3 | |
Red Dwarf crossed with Star Wars. Hum, it's not bad (the effects are particularly notable for a web show) though the acting comes off rather flat. But that's something that tends to improve with time, so... ..yeh I'll give it a go. | |
Loved it, especially the Spaceballs reference. Are they Assholes ;)? I'm looking forward to future episodes. | |
That was actually better than I expected, acting was a little weird at times, but I'd imagine it would get better as they put up new episodes. So, I'm hooked now.
Yeah it kinda did. I was half expecting one of them to tap it, not that I think anything special was going to happen, but just for giggles. | |
Yeah it seems to be Red Dwarf meets Star Wars. Although judging from the extra characters we've yet to see (mentioned in the meet the crew) they've got more than enough original ideas to prevent it from seeming like a rip off. The concept has promise and the writing shows some knowledge of sci-fi (e.g. soylent green reference). But for what seems to be essentially a comedy, there wasn't any one line that made me laugh aloud. Hopefully it's just something that'll take time to settle. | |
Yes. Best of luck. Shame that your budget couldn't get the shiniest of green screens, but then there's always Season 2 ;-) Hope the episodes are as good/better than the pilot. | |
When I first saw the ads for this, I thought: | |
I see what you tried to do there... but why set it in the Star Wars universe? (Or rather, the Space Fights universe...) (* I have also seen the travesty that was American Red Dwarf. Please don't try to translate British humour, it rarely work.) | |
I like it! Let's see more. | |
Loved the opening window part. This shows a lot of promise. | |
In terms of writing, I like it. Though in terms of set design it could probably stand to have a bit more color. I know other sci-fi ships don't sport rainbow pallets but there's still enough there to keep it visually sound. This came across as a bit anemic what with the white and light grey with sitcom lighting. | |
Or alongside with. Who says you got to do things alone against the Empire right? :} OT: This was, actually very nice. Was really curious when I saw the video having a special layout around it, and all these cool features promoting Space Janitors. Once I started watching it, I was amazed. Graphics are great, the humor is there, the acting actually feels like they're in character and the potential is huge with this series. I love it, and really hope to see what you guys can pull off! Plus, it's something new.. I mean space janitors? On a Dark Lord's spaceship? This really is indeed a series I am going to enjoy. | |
1.) Spartan Helmets with Stormtrooper suits? Not sure what to think. The animation was jerky as well. I'll give it a few episodes to see if it is worthwhile or not. | |
Decent opening. A little flat, but we can see potential. Big guy has more appeal/charisma than skinny guy so don't try to run Red Dwarf with it. At best you'll wind up being compared unfavorably to Chris Barrie. At worst, you'll wind up with a character who's just unlikable. Remember, the thing about Rimmer was that even though he was a go-go-go-getter, he was both intellectually and socially incompetent. So if your skinny guy doesn't have a similar level of handicaps, it gets hard to explain why he isn't going anywhere -- and that's a really hard act to pull off without making audiences simply dislike the character. | |
The soldiers remind me of Spartan-IIs. Looking forward for more! | |
Interesting, very interesting. This show shows a lot of potential, I'll be keeping an eye on this. | |
This seems like it will worth be keeping an eye on, however it didn't seem to provoke any emotion or real theme apart from parody, and even then that was only the framing, and didn't really work it for any jokes or anything. Interesting but so far it's only really make observations with parody, lets see how this turns out in episode 2. Most Escapist series are always iffy on the first episode. | |
Seems like there's some good potential here, it suck that we have to wait over a month for the next episode, but looking forward to it! | |
an interesting idea, to see the little guys story in a big universe... | |
Looks quite entertaining and funny. Interesting, IŽll be looking forward to the next episodes of this one! | |
so this show advertising got in the way of the websites functionality | |
Ingenious. Decent acting, relatively funny and a great set-up for a low-budget production. Altogether it means I think we're in for a pretty good series. | |
My thought exactly. It's no HARDWARE WARS! | |
Yes. This is the type of quality you guys should be signing on, not the types of things you see all over Youtube (*cough Minecraft machinimas and Skyrim class builds cough*) . | |
very kool | |
I was hoping for a more general parody of sci-fi shows. A Star Wars spoof doesn't do much for me, but the special effects were quite good. | |

this reminds me of Clerks
