I am still squeeing about this today. :-D

I'm not sure why I enjoy this pairing so much. Maybe it's just that I think they look cute together? Or it's something about the straight-laced sort of goodie-goodie overachiever being drawn to scrappy little slobby Lister. In some ways I see the pairing as a bit similar to the Lister/Rimmer pairing, in the "opposites attract" sense, but without all the heavy emotional stuff that I see Lister and Rimmer going through together. I can see Lister/Todhunter having some fun together, but I would never see it as being more than a fling.

Clearly I think too much. ;-)

I was rolling at Captain Hollister finding himself susceptible to the Lister Effect as well, and poor Lister's reaction to the whole situation. So perfectly in character. :)
