Old men from the dwarf.

New Red Dwarf. Well, it might happen. Somehow I can't work up any enthusiasm until a definite air date is announced. But even then I wonder - has this comedy cow been milked for all that it can give?

Its all about managing expectations. When a series comes back, there is a possibility that it will be as good or even better than before. But chances are it won't. Both the show and you have changed. So best not get too excited - right?

Except that there is a school of thought that says that the journey is what counts. The excitement and joy from the expectation is a reward in its own right that may be worth it even if the show turns out to be a dud. Life needs its little gems of hope.

Nah - I'm not gonna do that this time.
