Garbage World into an episode?

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

This was my original point … not so much gravity being reduced, I phrased it wrong, it’s more that there shouldn’t be any in “non-space”

But If it is a void, even if it were just “space” her own momentum from falling out of the tear would keep her moving indefinitely.

[Flap Jack]

But If it is a void, even if it were just “space” her own momentum from falling out of the tear would keep her moving indefinitely.

That makes sense for the first time, but what about the second time? She does a forward jump, but the momentum doesn’t let her keep drifting forward until she reaches the other half of the tunnel; she falls short and plummets into non-space. There must have been an external force which caused her to change direction and fall “down”.

[bloodteller]

the external force is merely the will of The Void

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Glad to see this thread entering the “Series VII/VIII Discussion” stage, its like puberty for threads they all have to go through it at some point

[International Debris]

Now now, we’ve been branching out into ‘minor flaws in the classic run’ recently too. Such as this wonderful one: how could Rimmer have committed suicide in Back to Reality when the harpoon would have simply shot through his projected head without causing any damage?

See? Easy.

[bloodteller]

it was a holopoon. like in demons and angels, they have a holowhip. but this is with harpoons

[Plastic Percy]

His lightbee could be floating around the area of his head and it could go straight through it. Or whatever.

[Flap Jack]

I think Kryten and Rimmer would have survived the group suicide attempt, but they might – might – have been affected by Lister and The Cat’s deaths.

[Hamish]

Somehow I hope the word “holopoon” doesn’t have legs.

[Dax101]

Presumably if it didn’t kill Rimmer he would just be living the rest of his existance in despair.

[clem]

What force is acting upon Kochanski that makes her fall in non-space? What are they breathing in non-space? And how come the gelfs appear to fly their ship and fire the guns just as though they’re in ordinary space?

…

What the hell is non-space? Just put a neat cross through it and we’ll do the next one.

[Ben Saunders]

Rimmer going out on the town to snare some holopoon.

[clem]

I’ve figured it out. It’s called Non-space because you can breathe there like Jack O’Halloran in Superman II.

[Dollar Pound]

why doesn’t non-space affect lister’s claustrophobia?

[Dollar Pound]

lister’s claustrophia is ironically trapped in the confines of one tenuous scene

[Dollar Pound]

accurately portraying non-space would have saved a lot of money requiring as it would no physically existing things whatever

[bloodteller]

>lister’s claustrophia is ironically trapped in the confines of one tenuous scene

his claustrophobia returns in krytie tv. but that was a deleted scene so i guess it doesnt count

you’d think being trapped on starbug during VI would have brought on his claustrophobia though

[Dave]

And materialising in Hitler’s chimney.

[Bargain Bin Holly]

Well with Hitler’s chimney he was only there for about thirty-forty seconds before being swiftly escorted out

[Dax101]

>you’d think being trapped on starbug during VI would have brought on his claustrophobia though

I think its more about being boxed in and trapped.

[Ben Saunders]

It could also be triggered more by stressful situations, like carooning into the sun with zero expertise at the helm while also being trapped in an enclosed space

[bloodteller]

>And materialising in Hitler’s chimney.

do they not mention this in Duct Soup? Cat asks why he didn’t get his clasutrophobia then, and Lister responds that he simply “doesn’t always get it”

[Pete Part Three]

He also doesn’t get it when he’s crawling through the tunnel in Terrorform, in the very long lift ride in Stasis Leak, and didn’t seem too concerned about being put in a metal chamber for “18 months” or in an enclosed deep sleep bunk for 200 years. Maybe it’s all a big con.

[Dave]

It’s a bit like the way the time drive “doesn’t always have the ability to let you travel in space”.

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Let’s do the maths on this. What is the terminal velocity of an alligator, anyone?

My dad reckons the terminal velocity of a 2 meter, 150-200Ibs crocodile dropped out of a Heinkel HE 111 flying at presumably the highest cruising altitude of 22,000 ft averages out to about 35-40 meters per second. But that’s a big of a guess as we’re both duff at maths.
