Bwahaha! I sent that very screen capture to a friend when she hit her most recent period. "A little present for you, ma'am!"
It was a little gratuitous to put in the whole kiss, but I just love it. You know, I have very strong feelings about seperating the actors from the roles they play, and messing around with the latter while leaving the former alone. But it's so hard to do with these two, because they just parallel the characters so well (by all reports, got along horribly initially, but grew very fond of each other over the years). And that's why the smegups are such delightful fodder for these things. ;) I wonder if that was intentional - I remember Chloe Annett mentioning in an interview how Naylor will take your personality and experiences and use them mercilessly for script fodder. Which (rambling further) made it odd to read the article that (I think?) lady_draco posted recently where Mr. Barrie described his first wife - because it's almost exactly how Rimmer describes his first wife in the second RD novel. You just can't pull apart real life and fiction with these folk sometimes!
