The fallout over Lisa Yates? Rimmer telling the crew what he thinks H stands for, in Holoship? Lister reading Pride and Prejudice to Kochanski’s tombstone? Lister struggling to live when M-Corp has made everything invisible? Anything else?

June 14, 2026 at 5:21 pm #322573 DaveParticipant I always loved the scene from Thanks For The Memory where Rimmer is comparing himself to Lister and realising that even though he tried to do everything right and Lister is “wrong” in so many ways, Lister has ended up as the more likeable, rounded person. Maybe not melancholy exactly but a moment of emotional clarity and honesty.

June 14, 2026 at 5:25 pm #322575 DoomitronParticipant I like the deleted scene of the funeral for the crew from The End Speaking of deleted scenes I liked the brief one in M-Corp where Rimmer complains he doesn’t actually exist, it fits as a foreshadowing of his dilemma in The Promised Land June 14, 2026 at 5:31 pm #322577 TechnopeasantParticipant If we are including that one I’ll throw on the wanted to be a fish scene so Moonlight doesn’t have to. Arguably the squirrel bit in D.N.A. also qualifies. June 14, 2026 at 5:52 pm #322580 WarbodogParticipant The subgenre of Kryten distractedly mourning Cat. June 14, 2026 at 5:56 pm #322583 Professor FlibbleParticipant The Out of Time cliffhanger is one of my favourite scenes in the whole show so it probably has to be that. Does it count? Or is it more actiony? June 14, 2026 at 6:39 pm #322584 StarbuggerParticipant The Out of Time cliffhanger is one of my favourite scenes in the whole show so it probably has to be that. Does it count? Or is it more actiony? It’s melancholic and actiony, but I wish they’d kept in the smeg-up of Chris not quite getting the bazookoid through the door on the first try. I like Rimmer mourning his dad in Better Than Life and the “moonlight” scene in The Promised Land.
