Lol, Robert is hopeless, isn't he? But in a way, it just makes Kryten more endearing to me. He tries so hard!

Good point about the Rimmer-panic, or lack thereof. It's true, he's like; "huh?" Like he almost can't connect with the idea that someone could be attracted to him. Oh dear... That sounds so sad...

Lister did the right thing, 'twas a good ending. Rimmer then going quietly back to read was good too. I have to wonder what's going on in his mind...
