Documentary

Ok, there were some people who were interested, so I have uploaded it. It is actually 86 MB, but if you didn't mind 60... Still needs the use of the free Real Player.
One thing I like to say first. I have used the recording of Chris talking about The Kiss at a convention. I could not find out how to contact the person who posted it. Needless to say, if it has been artwork or vid, I would not have used it if I could not obtain a permission, but since it is a recording of a public session which has been posted to the net already, I thought the fan in question wouldn't mind me reusing it for this purpose. I have only used the sound, as the footage would look at bit too off compared to the rest of the material.
If that fan is around, please receive my thanks for making this hilarious session available to the rest of us.
And here is the documentary. Enjoy!

One extra note: it will probably be there for a limited time, due to size and possible strain on bandwidth. If it is down and you have not managed to get it, don't hesitate to contact me.

Yep, exactly! Full circle! I might write a ficlet with that conversation in mind. :p

Oh, god, yes - I didn't squeak out loud at that man-and-wife comment, but it's only because my mouth was full. So which one is the wife? ;)

Contrary to popular belief, the one who whines are usually the husband ;-)

True dat!

Oh, that is hilarious!
I was thinking further - Rimmer is actually dreaming of a pregnant Lister! Cant remember whether that is before or after Lister actually get pregnant, but it is after where they start thinking of babies. And Lister looks to Rimmers equipment as possible source of babies. Yes, I think the roles are fairly clear in their minds ::bg::
Now, I can not imagine why more people haven't written about Listers pregnancy? So not everyone likes MPREG, but this is after all canon. It is sort of implied that it was done very quickly, but that is not certain. As long as the babies were inside him in this universe, most likely it would be a normal pregnancy. Because if their laws apply in their university, ours apply in ours? And the fetus is a part of the "mothers" body, and lives through her. It was only when they started to exist on their own in our universe that things got hurried. At least this is my theory for giving Lister a normal pregnancy. With Rimmer in attendance, probably terribly concerned without wanting to show it, and using the opportunity to hassle Lister about any habits that would be detriment to the babies (no cigs, no alcohol, eat healthy etc.) Probably Lister would be amendable because he would feel bad about hurting the babies in any way, but at the same time very irritated at Rimmer. A bit like Marooned - you are right but you are also enjoying this far too much.

Oooh, yes! But he calls Lister pregnant at the beginning of Future Echos, before they've seen Lister with babies.

kahvi has been talking about writing a Lister-preg fic, and she has such insight into Lister - I think that would be lovely to read. I rather like the idea that it would be a very-sped pregnancy, though; as you say, Rimmer would enjoy hassling Lister about smoking and drinking far too much, and if it were, say, nine days instead of nine months, Lister's bitching and moaning about how bloody long it has been since he had a cig and a beer would be that much funnier...

So he thinks of Lister as pregnant baboon, then he dreams about a baboon (C&P later in season 1). All before he knows that Lister is going to be pregnant. Even more revealing, if you ask me :-)
I would love any Lister-preg fic, and this sounds great. Maybe it would be 42 days instead of 42 weeks? And what about you writing the same from Rimmer POV?

Oooh! I just had a bunny for the dream. *adds it to lengthy WIP list*

Hmm, yes. I'll have to ask where she is on it. I do like 'being' I/II Rimmer; he's still clueless about what an asshole he is.
