One of my favorite bits was regular!Lister reacting to the marriage news not with surprise or indignation (no thanks to YOU, Duct Soup), but an "oh, eh?" musing. Wonder exactly what Rimmer's resentful of, exactly. ;-) (I also wonder if it's Series X them, which would be really fun ...)
I like to think that it's not just the fact that other Rimmer is married to Lister - its that he's married to young, doe eyed, perky bottomed and (above all) successful Lister. The fact that Lister is more than just a scruffy slob in this dimension means that he's now a 'respectable' choice of partner to introduce to your family. I deliberately left it open ended as to which version of the boys they meet and when, because it leaves more scope for the imagination but I suppose the resentment drain is a giveaway that I pictured them a tad older.
