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. :)

The night bunk scene in Stasis Leak

The sandwich + Rimmer's speech in Thanks for the Memory

The discussion in Lemons about operations done on Lister with Rimmer's permission

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

I don't know if I completely agree with #1. The scene itself yes, but the hug and the eye-flirting seem far more gut-punchy than the kiss itself.

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. :)

Sorry, been a bit busy so I haven't had time to finalize the list, but I've had a few more thoughts, removed some moments and added in two new ones:

10. Rimmer comparing Lister to the state-of-the-art sarnie in TFTM.
9. The virginity conversation in Marooned.
8. Observation Dome intimacy.
7. Lister & Ace's looks of adoration from Dimension Jump.
6. Lister's hand on Rimmer's knee from Terrorform.
5. Rimmer telling Lister he's become the vending repairman of his dreams in Entangled.
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.

How's the list looking now? Any further thoughts or additions? :)

Ok, updated, and hopefully final list. I removed Ace/Bongo since apart from that one mention, the list was completely Lister/Rimmer or Ace. :)

10. Rimmer comparing Lister to the state-of-the-art sarnie in TFTM.
9. Observation Dome intimacy.
8. Lister & Ace's looks of adoration from Dimension Jump.
7. Lister being overjoyed at seeing Rimmer again in series VIII.
6. Lister's hand on Rimmer's knee from Terrorform.
5. High Lister professing his love for High Rimmer
4. Rimmer telling Lister he's become the vending repairman of his dreams in Entangled.
3. Lister comparing his missing Rimmer to Kochanksi missing her ACTUAL boyfriend.
2. Low Rimmer
1. The lead-up to the kiss from Blue.

Bit late, so don't know if anyone still reads it. In Dear Dave Lister describes how Hayley did a certain thing with her nose he found adorable. Rimmer does exactly the same thing ...
