Questions

[zekkass.livejournal.com]

I have a question, and this is the best place to ask, so here I am.

At the end of Season II, did Lister and Rimmer move their quarters? I think they did, as evidenced by the new look and the shower addition, but there isn't any confirmation by the show itself. What deck level were their original quarters on, and what deck level are they on now? Also, where does the Cat live?

Also, how do they go up and down decks? I know about the lifts, but are there ladders or something? (I think there would be, in case the ship lost power (like in White Hole.)

There's no rush, but I would like some clarification for a a fic I'm writing.

Thanks!

I think the short answer is "yes". ;)

Grant/Naylor weren't too picky with continnuity, if it meant they could improve things. Hence, things would change thought the series without being explained. Personally, I just make things up as I go along when it comes to facts like these, based on what I think fits canon (and my purposes) best.

Oh, and Cat, like all Cats, lives wherever he damn well wants to, or at least that's what I figure!

Okay. I didn't want to accidently tread on ground I didn't know about and directly contradict Grant/Naylor. (I know they contradicted themselves, but I'm just a lowly fan.)

Hee! Yes, Cat would do that. (And we've seen Kryten's room, in DNA, so I didn't have to ask.)

Thanks!

Grant/Naylor weren't too picky with continuity

Lister's double appendix... Rimmer's hard light uniform in The Locker Room Game... CP-Kochanski not being resurrected in VIII... Rimmer's gazillion means of projection in early series... plenty more where that came from. ;)

Rimmer's taking his astro physics test 13/14/11/9/22 times...

At least a slightly increased number compared to previous episodes still makes some kind of sense, since he could have taken it again offscreen. Though I figure it's not easy to take an exam when you're dead... But the lower ones, or hugely increased ones, really don't make sense. Unless he's actually stopped caring and started forgetting the precise number. Whether that's likely would depend on what series it's said in, I guess.

I don't know. Grant/Naylor contradicts themselves a lot, so I pick whichever one I like. (Personally, I'm fond of 11 times, but that's me.)
