The opportunity was there to prevent the accident from happening. 2. Lister was now on Ganymede. O.K not back on Earth, but no longer three million years from Earth, he had the opportunity to return to Earth. Just saying. September 30, 2016 at 4:49 pm #216611 Pete Part ThreeParticipant 1. Which would create a paradox. 2. While that can be said about multiple episodes, Lister is told by his future self to return to the future and wait for the day he could marry Kochanski. He had a genuine reason to do what he was told. September 30, 2016 at 5:05 pm #216619 International DebrisParticipant It wouldn’t necessarily create a paradox – there was nothing to stop him going back to Earth. September 30, 2016 at 5:14 pm #216622 JimboidParticipant Except Pete’s second point. September 30, 2016 at 5:17 pm #216623 International DebrisParticipant Lister must have been really fucked off when that didn’t happen. September 30, 2016 at 5:42 pm #216624 srmcd1Participant Maybe it did happen. The future crew from Out of Time are probably also the future Lister and Rimmer from Stasis Leak (note both future Rimmers have mustaches). Lister and Kochanski both die in the radiation leak, and Lister saved as a brain in a jar. September 30, 2016 at 7:21 pm #216633 Ian SymesKeymaster I always assumed that with all the timeline meddling that occurs in Timeslides, Out of Time and Tikka, any prior predictions about or depictions of the crew’s future are null and void. Remember that Rimmer didn’t even die in the radiation leak. He died from punching an exploding box. September 30, 2016 at 8:38 pm #216635 International DebrisParticipant And yet, in The Beginning, he talks about dying in the radiation leak. I really, really don’t like the Timeslides reset. I generally try and forget about it. September 30, 2016 at 8:53 pm #216636 (deleted)Member The ending of Timeslides is probably the first real foot wrong the show ever put. Apart from making zero sense, it’s cruel, cheap, bullyish and genuinely nasty, in an episode which has previously been utterly perfect. What it really is of course is an episode with no obvious ending desperate for a punchline, and making do with a crap one, and not for the last time (here’s looking at you, White Hole). (It’s too recognisable as the Polymorph location as well. That always annoys me.) September 30, 2016 at 9:36 pm #216637 JimboidParticipant > making do with a crap one, and not for the last time (here’s looking at you, White Hole). YOU TAKE THAT BACK. October 1, 2016 at 6:22 pm #216644 locusceruleusParticipant Anyone who thinks Red Dwarf makes do with crap punchlines for endings should be made to sit through all 8 series of It Ain’t Half Hot Mum. October 2, 2016 at 10:59 am #216652 Plastic PercyParticipant When Rimmer changes the timeline, he doesn’t realise that he’s alive and still thinks he’s dead. Perhaps the same can be said for the rest of the crew when they return. October 2, 2016 at 12:27 pm #216654 smoke me a kipperMember Ian Symes post has raised another question. Who put the explosives in that box ? Also, WHY? October 2, 2016 at 1:32 pm #216656 Pete Part ThreeParticipant George McIntyre. October 3, 2016 at 11:23 am #216708 Pete Tranter’s SisterParticipant Kochanski and Lister married between VIII & BTE. SOLVED, YOU CUNTS. October 3, 2016 at 11:29 am #216709 Pete Tranter’s SisterParticipant Wait, no, I never thought about it fully. Ah fuck it, Red Dwarf is a load of wank. October 3, 2016 at 8:40 pm #216729 Toxteth O-GradyParticipant “(It’s too recognisable as the Polymorph location as well. That always annoys me.)” Isn’t it supposed to the same location though? October 3, 2016 at 9:48 pm #216730 International DebrisParticipant Crew of Red Dwarf in visiting the same part of the cargo bay twice shocker!
