Lister says, the Cat has never actually met a real woman. What about in Stasis Leak, Parallel Dimension and Backwards?

It looks like Lister has less hair on top of his head when it's swelled than when it's 'deflated.'

The swelling disappears when his head bursts, but it appears that his head is completely back to normal. Shouldn't there be a line or scar where it popped? Considering how much the skin was stretched, wouldn't it take time to shrink back down to normal?

When they tell the Justiceworld computer their reason for coming there, why don't they mention the escape pod? Also when Rimmer is listing who's on the ship, he omits this.

The Cat says the boots look like Frankenstien's hand me downs. I didn't realize the Virgin Mother wore boots that big. (Yes, I know he was referring to Frankenstein's monster, but Frankenstein is also the mother of his race.)

Rimmer is found guilty of killing the whole crew of Red Dwarf. Ummm, excuse me, but Lister is still alive and he's a member of the crew.

Was the Simulant intentionally made up to look like a Borg?

Did Holly really need to duck when the Simulant fired at the screen?

Earlier Kryten said that a simulant could not be damaged by bazookoid fire, but at the end the Simulant is stopped by 2 gunshots, 2 stabbings, being hit on the head 3 or 4 times and finally strangulation. Just how weak are those bazookoids anyway?

I liked the way they made fun of the 'moral at the end of the story' schtick that is so prevalent in Science Fiction.

I always thought Lister's space mumps, when they went down, was more akin to a giant pimple bursting.

Giant pimples don't immediatly shink down after popping either, and there is a hole where the gunk comes out, and sometimes bleeding. Frankly the way his head was swollen up, I would expect the 'burst' to take the hair off the top of his head.

Let's face it: tey're dealing with space mumps 3 million years in the future. We don't know how diseases will behave then, so maybe the way it behaved in this episode is the norm after evolution or mutations or coming into contact with another being.
Sometimes the gunk from a pimple comes out the side, anyway, and the top flap of skin remains relatively intact.
Space mumps... a virus? An alien virus, perhaps? Something for discussion on the alien lifeform board?

In The End, Holly says that the crew was killed because the drive plate was badly repaired and that Rimmer was apologizing to the captain for not doing a better job of repairing the drive plate. Sounds to me like Rimmer really was guilty.

Keith, maybe it was considered that the guilty party was the commanding officer that was idiotic enough to have Rimmer do the job.

Going by that logic, couldn't you pin some of the blame on the person that allowed him to enlist in the Space Corps?

No, because at that point, he's completely untrained and they don't know for sure how good or inept he'll be after training. The commanding officer, on the other hand, knows that Rimmer's only experience in fixing things is unclogging chicken soup nozzles. So the commanding officer is to blame.

Ok, this is really grungy nitpicking, but I can't resist. If Zed shift occupied Rimmer's every waking moment, then when would he have the time to sew name labels onto his ship issue condoms. That can't be part of Zed shift's duties, because Kryten said that he would
"wile away" his hours doing this.

The cast on the DVD commentary wondered where the extra 1000 deaths came from. Maybe this figure includes the prisoners seen in RD8 & some miners who were passengers (the 1st novel mentions miners waiting for a ship.)

(Yes, I know he was referring to Frankenstein's monster, but Frankenstein is also the mother of his race.)

The Cat has never been religious.

But he still knows the story of Frankenstein the virgin mother. (He mentioned it in the first episode.)

Amazing that justice system was still functioning, millions of years later.
