I know this is Trek and not Dwarf but there
is a 47 in this episode,the crewmember Rimmer
has to defeat is crewmember 84172.
Wonder if she could be any relation to Species
8472(just joking!):)

I don't care for Rimmer's new uniform. It makes him look fat.

When Rimmer went towards that light, I couldn't help but think about that bit from "A Bug's Life" with the bug zapper.

"Don't go toward the light!!!!!"
"I can't help myself, it's so beautiful!"

What was that movie that they were watching?

Rimmer look just like Jerry Lewis's Nutty Professer after the mind patch, & the Esperanto uniform is a bit like the Star Trek TNG uniform. (At least to me.)

Richard: The ship is the Enlightenment, not the Esperanto.

If it has no mass, then what is projecting the holoship and crew?

Rather convenient that Stochy identified the crewmember by number instead of name. Even the tally screen listed her by number.

I thought Crane said the ship had just over 2,000 crewmembers, so why is Crane's number 4,172?

Rimmer stops at 300 something and Crane's score is in the 200's and moving up quickly, then when they meet on the elevator, she says he's winning. Did the computer stop the match when he went back to Red Dwarf, or did she stop in time for him to stay ahead?

So why wasn't Kochanski among the applicants for replacement hologram? Still couldn't find her disk?

Maybe Kryten washed Kochanski's disk, thinking he was doing the right thing.

The Hologram from Enlightenment said that Kryten has maybe 5 years before he burns out, but at the start of Series VI, Kryten is still working 200 years later. (Some "super human", making a mistake like that.)

Myabe Kryten heeded the advice and went in for his 3 million year service.

Anyone notice that Rimmer's lover, Nirvanah, was played by Jane Horrocks, better known as the ditzy blonde secretary in Absolutely Fabulous?

If that initial blue light probe that comes in is not reading on any scale, I thought "What about luminescence"?

I thought Red Dwarf could only power one hologram. How can Rimmer come back on board while a potential replacement was activated?

When Rimmer gets his super-brain, Holly obviously creates some holo-glasses. He takes them off when his super-brain breaks down on the Enlightenment and leaves them there?. Do they disappear when Holly gets too far away? Does the Enlightenment power them?

The Enlightenment captain mentions as holograms there's no disease. Guess they've never run across a holovirus like the one Rimmer contracted before.

The captain also says the only way on to the ship is "dead man's boots" - interesting choice of words given they are all dead, otherwise they wouldn't be holograms.

The Russian crewmember who offers Rimmer sex on Wednesday morning - she didn't seem too taken aback when Rimmer said he was killing himself then but it was said earlier to decline was the height of rudeness.

The Red Dwarf crew are all watching the film on a TV at the start and Rimmer also refers to the ship's vid in this episode - what happened to the small cinema we saw in Series I?

Lister watches a film on a monitor in the drive room during Season 1. A different cinema is seem in Cammille (With stepped seats)

Why do they all watch the film on the monitor here? It's not like it's a huge screen, so the cinema would seem a more sensible choice.

I thought they were in Starbug, on their way back from somewhere.

Hmmm, maybe Lister set up a bunch of dead unsuitable candidates in a lead-up to auditioning Kochanski. That's the only way to explain anyone picking Harrison for the interview! :)

Actually, come to that, does Harrison's temperament and personality (what little we see of it), kinda remind anyone of Kochanski II as we'll come to know her in Red Dwarf VII?

So the Enlightenment has been dippy bopping around Deep Space for millions of years.

What did they do to pass the time?
