Do Holograms go to Silicon Heaven?

[JamesTC]

In ‘The Last Day’ Silicon Heaven is described by Kryten as “the electronic afterlife” and later in the episode ‘Psirens’ he describes him and Rimmer as electronic (as they are) and in the episode ‘Rimmerworld’ Kryten says it is possible for a hologram to die, if a hologram did die would it go to Silicon Heaven?

Yes, if you like.

Does Kryten dream of electric sheep?

Well, Lister does briefly become a replicant in OOT.

They turn from a hologram to a hamstergram.

Not if it was a cunt.

[Zombie Jim Undead]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand….Ian wins!

I suppose the human soul would already be in what I never thought I’d call Carbon Heaven or Carbon Hell, otherwise there could be some terrible double booking.

Indeed. Rimmer’s already dead.

But maybe the light bee would go to silicon heaven.

>But maybe the light bee would go to silicon heaven.

But the light bee holds Rimmer’s personality, it holds a probable Rimmer based on his memories so if the light bee did go to heaven surely it will still hold Rimmer unless holding the hologram is counted as its job much as Kryten’s job is to serve and in fulfilling it the light bee goes to silicon heaven but the program it held just doesn’t go anywhere, it just dies.

The program (i.e. Rimmer*) probably end up in software heaven. Bit of a misnomer really due to regular crashes. The avatar of Bill Gates at the pearly gates is regularly throttled and keeps having to be reinstalled.

*Actually is Rimmer’s light bee actually contained in the light bee, or is the light bee just an emitter? Some episodes suggest the former (i.e. Thanks for the Memory, Quarantine- where they hack into the software suite.) Others the latter (i.e. much of series 6 onwards… although Starbug’s systems could still contain the software like a hologram suite.)

There’s no such thing as silicon heaven.

There’s no such thing as the Hall of Nonsensical Rambling either, but I’m still nominating it.

[Pete Part Three]

That would be silicon heaven.

Well, not these days. It would be Botox Hell.
