Why would Rimmer need a remote projector? I always thought that his light-bee does this.

The light bee is just a projector- he always has to use it on ship or off (except in series 1+2). The remote projector is a transmitter, and possibly a complete portable hologram generator (because of series 6).

At some point, the sling that the Cat had his arm in disappears.

Did they send a scouter or a scutter into the lab? It sounded like both terms were used.

In Confidence And Paranoia they figured out how to have two holograms running at the same time, but now the "crimson, short one" can only run one at a time. I suppose this might have been caused by the damage in Bodyswap, although we did see two holograms in Holoship.

Maybe Rimmer didn't use the light bee in Series 1 & 2 because there was no need to use it, but after Holly's head switch and mental detioration, he started using it?

The probe that carried Rimmer back to Red Dwarf looked like the mail carrier from Better Than Life.

47 reference! They docked at Bay 47. (see Star Trek boards for more info on 47s.)

So why doesn't Holly get the virus? How come we don't see Holly after they leave Starbug?

So why didn't they hear the fire axe box opening? It was rather loud.

I guess the Cat's desire for revenge outweighed his sense of style, since he wore the gingham dress there at the end.

Ooops. Mr. Flibble just reminded me that Kryten referred to Rimmer as a Smeeeeeg Heeeeead. Mr. Flibble seems to remember that Kryten successfully called Rimmer a Smeghead in Camille. So why does Kryten have trouble calling him that now?
Mr. Flibble wants an answer! 8-•

Mr. Flibble, it was Lister that he called a smeghead in Camille.

fribble

Does anyone but me think it's odd that Cat, wanting to insult Kryten, would call him "Frankenstein"? After all, in "Waiting for God" he referred to Frankenstein as the Cat People's "Holy Mother". (Of course, knowing that Lister is his "God" must have put him off religion a bit.) Still, I don't think he'd use her name in that context. Also, how should he know about where the name "Frankenstein" originally came from?

Rimmer says he is going to put them in Quarantine for 3 months. When Lister says there are 79 more days to go, he also says (twice) that they have been there for 5 days, which makes a total of 84 days. Three months have to have AT LEAST 89 days, even when you assume that February is one of them.

Maybe the months have been shortened to make room for the month of Geldof. Grant Naylor seem to make a mistake whenever they wrote any plot involving dates.

Why should the Cat know about Frankenstein's monster? Lister probably showed him an old movie.

Lister did go to Art College. Maybe he can't add?

Yeah they were watching Citizen Kane in ME2 so it would not be too unbelievable that they had watched Frankenstein's monster as well.

They weren't. They were watching a cartoon. But maybe they were in your universe.

I remember Lister saying something about watching Citizen Kane. I figured the cartoon was suspose to come before the movie and they would have watched the movie after the cartoon.

Maybe the cartoon was the Tiny Toons ep where they spoof Citzen Kane? ;-)

In 'Holoship' the cat commented on the cartoon that was shown before the weepy movie they watched, so it's obvious that the cinema on Red Dwarf does show cartoons before some films.

The Cartoon in ME2 is a Mugs Murphy one, no idea who this is, but GN wanted to have some MM cartoons specially made for the series, like Ichy & Scratchy, but no-one knew who Mugs was. Lister has a MM t-shirt in at least one early episode.

Possibly the funniest moment out of the whole series is the bit where Rimmer in full on demented hologram mode makes that weird snorting sound like a horse. Mad as snake.

Another good bit of Rimmer madness is that strange scream after the conversation about The King Of The Potato People, as well as all the Mr Flibble bits.

That was the bit I meant!

Actually Rimmer was following Space Corps directives when he threw the others into quarantine.He only developed the symptoms of the Holo-virus AFTER they were quarantined.
The whole reason WHY he threw them into quarantine in the first place was to spite Kryten.
As he told Holly he wanted to show Kryten that he wasn't the only one who could use Space Corps directives.
I believe it's following this episode where we get all the hilarious scenes where Rimmer attempts to qoute Space Corps directives and Kryten then cites the actual passages which are all opposite to what Rimmer is referring to.

btw:I suppose Mr.Fibble is still lurking around out there somewhere,after all both Ace Rimmer and
Dwayne Dibbley popped up again so who knows if Red Dwarf ever comes back if Mr.Fibble will make a return?

After a desperate google search I finally find a reference to the month of "geldorf" can anyone explain it to me, or go one better and explain how to convert from this to "normal" dates?

Thanks to anyone able to help...

Love this one.

Insane Rimmer was fun.

"That's terrible. I've got you down for sprouts almost every meal. I tell a lie; it IS every meal!"

It is a very, very atmospheric and disquieting episode. Also gave us the fab running joke of Rimmer getting the Space Corps Directives wrong.

Not to mention Mr. Flibble.
