odd/interesting/odd about Holly

[kronette.livejournal.com]

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 noticed that too, but always assumed it was just Holly being, well, Holly. He is an odd one, a loveable odd one of course, and I figure the fact that the crew doesn't mind him calling them by their first names is an indicator that they accept it as part of his personality.
