Parallel Universe thoughts

[queen-fiend.livejournal.com]

Hey guys,

I think most of you would agree that Parallel Universe is a pretty slashy episode. I've always been curious about some things...

1. Rimmer says, "She accused me of wiggling my bottom in a provocative way! I was just walking! Can I help it if I happen to be sexy?" and Lister looks at Rimmer's bum. What might be going through Lister's head?

2. Rimmer tells Lister, "She's gone to get some sexy videos. She seems to think seeing two men together might turn me on." What exactly gives Arlene this impression and why does Rimmer tell Lister this?

3. Where does Rimmer hide that night and does Arlene ever find him? If she finds him, does she succeed in showing him any "sexy videos?" Or maybe Rimmer comes across those videos himself...

4. Why do the two Rimmers look so smug, and like such good friends the next morning? I thought Rimmer was supposed to be hiding from her...

Well, hopefully this is a bit inspiring or at least leads to some discussion. :)

Mocking Lister is a shared interest that they use to get over the uncomfortable situation of facing the two of them in bed, I think, and also the uncomfortable situation of talking to each other.

Yes; excellent point! And we all know Rimmers don't get along terribly well.
