Shirtless Rimmer et al

[nessaancalime.livejournal.com]

I did discover this journal fairly recently, may not be up to all you have had here. Firstly I have to say I have greatly enjoyed all the fics recently and my OTP since starting to see this series has been Rimmer/Lister, just so obvious, isn't it? Anyway, I am enjoying my way through the DVDs and watching the documentary on Season 5 was great fun.
The first episodes have this certain outburst of Shirtless!Rimmer. In the documentary this is getting a lot of attention from the other actors, particularly Robert and Craig has some interesting comments. For those of you who haven't seen this, I have the clip here (you need the latest version of RealPlayer and it is almost 5 MB):
Shirtless!Rimmer comments

Now they obviously had a real good eye for what Chris looked like with his shirt off ::g:: It is the female that mentions the attractive model on the set, while the guys are enthusing of the sight of all those unexpected muscles. Anyway, I did not have any RPS intentions here, not my thing.
What I was wondering, has anyone written any fics about how Lister may have had a similar reaction? It is particularly interesting in combination with his insistence on blazing away to save Rimmer, and this is before he discovered the importance of Rimmers state of mind for their own survival. It is also interesting to ponder whether Lister knew of Rimmers reasons for leaving the holoship.

This is my second favorite documentary clip ever.

My first being the Blue bit, of course, where Chris is going on about how Craig would taste and it being a good kiss, and Robert talking about how goopy they were afterwards...

I loved how the director mentioned that Chris was too eager to get his shirt off. This is a good thing, ma'am!

I haven't written anything specifically about what you ask, but I have mercilessly used bits of imagery of this documentary. I have also written a fic where Lister did know why Rimmer left the Enlightenment, but it was set between Vi and VII.

I know RPS is wrong. But shitehell, it's so, so, so, hard not to go there with these two!

Was that posted not so long ago? With a remark of how you wondered at the change of attitude between VI and VII? I liked that. The change of attitude could have been further motivated by a need to like someone with a body like that ::EG::
