Red Dwarf's Slashiest Moments

[lordvalerymimes.livejournal.com]

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. :)

Ok, so currently the list is:

10. Lister's medical authorizations in Lemons
9. Rimmer comparing Lister to the state-of-the-art sarnie.
8. Observation Dome intimacy.
7. Lister & Ace's looks of adoration from Dimension Jump.
6. Rimmer sees Lister's packet in Bodyswap.
5. Lister's hand on Rimmer's knee from Terrorform.
4. Lister comparing his missing Rimmer to Kochanksi missing her ACTUAL boyfriend.
3. Ace & Bongo.
2. Low Rimmer
1. The lead-up to the kiss from Blue.

I have to admit, I'm still not 100% sold on the moment from Lemons. I get how it's slashy, but I think it might be the sort of thing where people won't really understand the slashy implications unless they already ship Lister and Rimmer together. It's far too easy to interpret it as Rimmer just being gleeful about having the chance to make Kryten muck about with Lister's insides. It reminds me a bit of the moment in Bodyswap, "But why did you make me chloroform him? And... why did he struggle so?"

If anyone can think of any other moments let me know. I feel there has to be some bits in the more recent episodes that I'm just forgetting since I've not watched them as much as I've watched older episodes.

Also remember, it doesn't just have to be Lister/Rimmer, since I've got Ace and Bongo up there. :)

Well, there is the scene in "Meltdown" where Lister's response to finding out Rimmer has a light bee is to immediately place same in his mouth with very obvious enjoyment. Not the ending, the initial scene. But I suppose that's similar to "Lemons".

Rimmer describing "Stoke Me A Clipper" Ace as looking like a reject from a Gay Pride disco.

If I can think of more I'll say so.

I'm not sold on No. 6 really - it's not slashy so much as the reaction any guy might have to getting a size-up in his equipment, or envy of another guy's penis. It doesn't feel any more slashy than them naked together in Pete ... does that make sense?

If you want a subtler one, Lister's reaction to seeing nano-Rimmer in "BITR" before he realises it's him "like you used to be". :)

He really is so happy to see Rimmer "again" in that episode. He doesn't even mind that he's being a total smeghead, really.

If only they'd actually finished and filmed "Dad," none of these other episodes would be necessary to this list.

Oh yes, this is a good moment, I'll add that one in for sure. :)
