Red Dwarf's Slashiest Moments

I thought it would be fun to do a countdown on Tumblr with gifs of Red Dwarfs top 10 slashiest moments. I wanted to get peoples' opinions on what moments you think should be included, and what order they should go in. :)

I was thinking:

10. ?
9. ?
8. Observation Dome intimacy.
7. Lister & Ace's looks of adoration from Dimension Jump.
6. Rimmer sees Lister's packet in Bodyswap.
5. The near kiss from Better than Life.
4. Lister's hand on Rimmer's knee from Terrorform.
3. Ace & Bongo.
2. Low Rimmer
1. The kiss from Blue.

I got stuck after thinking of eight moments. I know there HAVE to be two more though. I didn't include Rimmer being stripped from Terrorform, or the naked bits from Pete: Part 2, because although they're lovely scenes to watch, they're not particularly slashy.

Any suggestions are welcome. :)

I echo RoseCathy regarding the scene from "Lemons". It's not just that Lister finds out that Rimmer authorised surgery on his behalf, it's also that he just stares in astonishment rather than accusing him of having no right to do that. (If you have problems giffing this, it is actually already on Tumblr and I can find it for you.)

I know deleted scenes don't really count, but an honourable mention to the one from "Only The Good" where Rimmer meets MirrorUniverse!Lister and assumes his counterpart is his lover. MirrorUniverse!Rimmer, even though we never meet him, apparently has everything Rimmer wants. He's well-endowed, the Captain of Red Dwarf - and Rimmer makes a mental leap to add being Lister's lover to that. :D

The deleted scenes are obviously on one of the three Series VIII DVDs. You can go straight to the "OTG" section so it won't take you that long. It's one of VIII's few redeeming features IMO but I know it can't really be counted. Especially as there are other cut scenes from that series which I wish they'd never even shot...

I would personally put "Lemons" tenth but I see what you mean about it being easy to misinterpret. OTOH there are those who would say we're wilfully misinterpreting all the scenes mentioned here and frankly they can go and take a running jump. ;)
