Red Dwarf: In Brief

[Moonlight]

I always enjoyed the little “In Brief” synopses in the complete guide and thought it could be fun for us to write our own.

Me²

In Brief: Lister mock executes Rimmer as an interrogation tactic.

Timeslides

In Brief: Rimmer eats a sandwich and kills himself.

Officer Rimmer

In Brief: Rimmer and Kryten dry hump as Rimmer gives birth.

Topic

[Formica]

Me²: Cat does a shit.
Backwards: Cat is reunited with his missing shit.
Dear Dave: Cat does a shit again.

And if you instead put these chronologically, it sounds like he’s just had one shit that cycled in and out over the course of 20 years.

[Formica]

Timewave: is bad.

[Moonlight]

Give & Take: But how did Lister ever have any kidneys?! Huh?!

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Dimension Jump: Lister meets a handsome stranger, goes out with him, gets railed and comes back wet and exuberantly cheerful while Rimmer paces around resentfully.

[Warbodog]

The Inquisitor: Lister salvages his dead alternate self’s hand as a masturbation aid, then it luckily proves useful in their escape as well.

I don’t think that one works. It doesn’t really track. What you want to be doing is recontextualizing the events of the episode to sound like something else in a way that sounds plausible because it generally follows what we’ve seen, instead of just saying what happens and adding “he did this to have a wank”.

[Warbodog]

But that’s my head canon for “I can use this” now.

It’s a reference to a (mass) debate in another thread.

I was there at the time, you know.

But that’s my head canon for “I can use this” now.

That’s not an excuse for wording it in a way literally no sane person would read into it being.

[cwickham]

[cwickham]

[cwickham]

Thanks for the Memory: Lister doesn’t go anywhere, and looks and sounds the same except for one bit near the end.

[Ian Symes]

Backwards: Kryten returns, but looks and sounds different, and then looks different again in some of the exterior scenes

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Back in the Red part 1: Hollister returns, looks bigger, sounds the same. 

[Moonlight]

Skipper: Hollister returns, looks older, burns to death.

[Dave]

Back in the Red part 1: Hollister returns, looks bigger, sounds the same. 

Back in the Red part 1: Red Dwarf returns, looks bigger, sounds the same.

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Back in the Red part 1: Red Dwarf returns, looks bigger, sounds the same bit crap.

Fixed it.

[cwickham]

Entangled: A chimp is legally prevented from looking or sounding the same.

[Frank Smeghammer]

Entangled: Lister bets Rimmer on a pair of Jacks. A pair of Jacks – that’s how hard he is.

Unfortunately unless he can deliver the debt they threaten to take his nuts, both left and right
