Intriguing, to say the least.

G & T's Set report for #3.


I am intrigued as to the nature of this episode. What could Red Dwarf have done that hasn't already been offensive to someone?

Discuss.

I'm voting for "crazy monkey mad" with it. Lister meets God, is offered everything he wanted, but turns it down because he's the only one who'll get it - the others aren't made the same deal. (This is probably so wildly off as to be stupid, but hey.)

I think that's a pretty good theory. Although the author of the G&T report has linked there to this thread. Not sure he'd do that if our theories were anywhere close to the reality. *Ponders*

Nah, I think at least one guy over there just wants to make fun of the slashers. ;-)

Yes, I know not everybody likes slash, but nobody forced them to click on the link. ;)

Actually, I think the original link is just 'cause we're an imaginative bunch and had some good ideas (and several). But I was amused by the "clearly straight" remark. Because we know canon has never thrown Rimmer's leanings into question at all. ;-)

Yes, I don't think the person who linked us was trying to make fun (he's friends with MissFlibble after all). And we weren't only talking about slash.

Rimmer? Gay? Whatever gave you that idea? ;)

And Lister never, ever, ever had a gay dream about anyone. Ever. Not in canon. Nosirree.

It's just someone who thinks there's only one way to enjoy fandom. Our hypotheses are as good as any of theirs, frankly - unless Dude has been to the taping and knows, in which case he's just being rude about people who can't go. I don't want spoilers, but we should have fun guessing, too. I'll lay cash none of them would've seen "Blue" coming back in '96, either.
