spoilery thoughts about "Trojan"

Yeah, I'm a week late, because I saw the ep much later than the rest of you, and it takes me some time to process things. I'm slow. :)



If the sim thought Lister really WAS a Touch Telepath, why would she let Howard Rimmer* be touched by him? Wouldn't Howard have given her away, even if he was scared to do so? Her having just killed the rest of the crew would have to be uppermost in his mind. Was he trying to give her away? She really must have had a good idea that Lister was a fake Touch T. Was she completely aware that the ship was - or should be - a derelict?

*Howard, right? I have a terrible memory for names.

I don't think he knew it was her who killed everyone.

Didn't he say he was hiding under his bunk when he heard the gunfire - and when he emerged only Crawford was there? I guess he presumed they were both just survivors. After all, this is before the simulant uprising so he would trust his sim to be honest and subservient. OOPS.
