odd/interesting/odd about Holly

Holly calls them "Dave" and "Arnold," doesn't he? Not "Lister" and "Rimmer," at least not Rimmer. Female Holly in Bodyswap says "All right, Dave." In the pilot, it was 'Everybody's dead, Dave." In "Future Echoes," it's all "Arnold."

So it's just the crew that called each other by their last names, or Holly's informal now that they're the only ones left alive? Just something I've wondered.

I'd never really given it much thought beyond getting speech patterns right, but it is interesting now that you point it out. Maybe it's to make Holly seem more like a friend to the crew?
