#Hattie hayridge

[aconfusedsquirrelsstuff]

A family can be a man, a hologram of his dead bunkmate, a humanoid lifeform that evolved from his pet cat, an unstable sanitation mechanoid and a senile ship computer. And I think that's beautiful okay?

Sarah Michelle Gellar Vs. Hattie Hayridge

Propaganda

Sarah Michelle Gellar - (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - No text propaganda

Hattie Hayridge - (Red Dwarf, Lexx, Jonathan Creek) - I'm nominating her for her performance as Holly in comedy sci-fi "Red Dwarf" in the late 80s and early 90s. Holly is the title spaceship's computer, but Hattie's performance is extremely human. She's not there to be sexy, she just is, along with being scatty, well-meaning and just as likely to get the crew into trouble as out of it. Her swansong comes in an episode frequently voted the best ever where she saves the hallucinating crew from killing themselves. We see her versatility as she plays several different versions of her character, including an alternate version who's human and casually seduces a heroic pilot. And finally, she's just damn funny. The actress is also wonderful with fans, going out of her way to spend time with them at conventions even when she's not being paid. I've been on the same dancefloor as her so I know this from personal experience.

Red Dwarf - White Hole: Genius Holly & Talkie Toaster

Okay so, a little Red Dwarf rant up ahead because I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I need you guys to be sad about it with me:

We all know that despite Red Dwarf being a comedy show the premise is super depressing, especially with all the characters experiencing loneliness in a different way. Lister is the last human alive, Rimmer is a hologram who is dead and cannot fully interact with his surroundings, Cat has been separated from the rest of his species and Kryten has spent ages on the Nova 5 assisting crewmates he didn't know were dead.

But what about Holly? Because I have a LOT to say! :")

I can say with confidence that Holly is one of my favourite RD characters, and that is because I adore the concept so much - the idea of a sarcastic computer who's tasked with keeping the entire ship together is just so funny to me, especially since one thing I've noticed is that over the course of S1-5, Holly has slowly felt like more of a member of the crew rather than just the ship's computer, yk? It might have something to do with Hattie Hayridge's portrayal of her because she subtly gives her a bit more expression which I really love, but she feels like she has more emotions later on, and throughout the course of the series, she's always cared for the others despite being, yk - a robot.

And the events of S5 Ep6 "Back To Reality" really prove that. Idk guys, I just love that *she* was the one who saved everybody from the despair squid, like yesss!!! She is a valuable member of the team, and I love her for that! ^-^

But what I've been thinking about lately is what happened between S5 and S6. We're told that the others lose contact with the Red Dwarf ship - and Holly as a result. Now, imagine how that must be for her - maybe the others went on some kind of adventure before this huge disaster occurred, and she was waiting for them to return, and they never did.

Imagine the original Red Dwarf, floating around in the depths of space, completely empty except for the old computer who slowly realises that she will never see the others again. :(

Idk maybe I've messed up the continuity somewhere bc I need to rewatch S6 again, but I've just been picturing a lonely computer waiting for her crewmates that are never coming back, and it's just so sad, like it really proves that the Red Dwarf characters are all so deeply tragic! 😭💜

I need everybody's thoughts on this because I may or may not have made an illustration based on that concept and I need more people to be sad about Holly with me! ♡♡

(Also S7-8 don't count, they find the Red Dwarf again but it isn't the original. That version of the ship has been revived as essentially a duplicate of the ship before the radiation leak in S1. The Holly aboard is also a duplicate, which must mean the original is still stuck in the vastness of space, I thought it was important to add that for continuity purposes hehe! 😅)

Also I'm sorry this was longer than it had to be, but oh my god, I'm so sad now!!

[weltato]

Favourite season of red dwarf?

I'm inclined to say series 5 because it houses my favourite episode of all time (s5 e4) 'Quarantine' but series 2 has more solidly great episodes like 'Queeg' and 'Stasis Leak' and it introduces the character of Kryten.

Also, while series 1 has one of my other all time fave episodes (s1 e5) 'Confidence & Paranoia' I still have to say series 2 is the best.

[red-dwarf-confessions]

'Hiii I just wanted to say - fem Holly (Hattie Hayridge) is genuinely SO PRETTYYY!!!! I am actually in love with her, and it's honestly quite sad that there's barely any content of her :")

We need to talk about her more bc she is just everything to me I love her so so much, she's just so funny and she has such a lovely voice, she's just brilliant 😭💕

Anyways hehe I'm very gay for Hattie Hayridge, that's pretty much all I wanted to say :3'

A re-do of an old poll of mine now that Tumblr has allowed more options. Characters are in order of first appearance. I paired a few to allow for more options.
