Sophie on American TV

My sister and I started watching "Two and a Half Men" this season to see what they'd do with Ashton Kutcher. So a couple of weeks ago, I heard this voice - and looked up to see Kremlin Kate! Sophie Winkleman is guest-starring as his love interest.

Anyone else seen her on this? I was just surprised because I haven't seen her on any other shows. And, well ... I actually liked Katarina (even if Rimmer's disposition of her was hilarious). I kind of wish they could've both existed on the Dwarf.

My mind is blown. I've literally had this going round and round in my head for the past few hours. Considering Rimmer was given 24 hours before he was shut off, who would have wanted that? Cat? Or Rimmer's self-loathing? You know Lister wouldn't wish it, not really, but we got glimpses of Rimmer's worry of Lister and I can't see him wanting to leave Lister alone.

Maybe Kryten contributed by his guilt over lying about Kris Kochanski being dead/leaving. He helped create a woman to replace KK, added in enough annoyance/bruskness so Lister wouldn't fall for her, which as a side effect made her more Rimmer-like. Hm. This is interesting and not something I thought of before.

So, in essence, Katarina was the new Legion?

I think all you have to do is remember the psi-moon and Rimmer's self-loathing beast, to answer your first question up there. HOWEVER - let's take into account this is supposed to be Happy Squid Ink. Somewhere in there, then, one or more of them has to be OK with a more successful, female Rimmer, because that's basically what Katerina is (I could argue Rimmer is just a failed, male Kochanski with less charm too, but not right now). So ... maybe Katerina beating up on him for not doing a good job keeping Lister sane is him actually beating up on himself (and we know he has a sadomasochistic streak a mile wide), in a pleasing female form he knows Lister would like, since it kind of physically resembles Kochanski 2.0?
