Things Exactly 2 Episodes Have In Common

[Flap Jack]

Just taking Technopeasant’s advice to spin this game off from The Gallifrey Gals’ own thread.

Currently unanswered connections:

Terrorform and Skipper (by clem)

Tikka to Ride and Lemons (by International Debris)

[International Debris]

Clem is right, my two episodes are the only two where Cat eats human without realising.

[Flap Jack]

Cool! And good news, I’ve found the connection between Skipper and Terrorform.

Oops, didn’t see this thread when I posted in the other one.

Thanks for the Memory and Justice.

[Technopeasant]

But why did you post in two different threads instead of one though?

[Warbodog]

Thanks for the Memory and Justice.

Lister makes a fire?

Thanks for the Memories has a barbecue, but a fire?

Is the deleted scene park with the bird shit the same place the Lise Yates footage was shot?

[Rudolph]

Think there’s a connection between Polymorph and Tikka to Ride.

[loadoftottnumb]

Other than no guilt Kryten? 

[Rudolph]

Other than no guilt Kryten?

OK, that’s two things. The thing I’m thinking of does involve Kryten, though.

I don’t know, but either way neither of those things are what I was thinking of.

References to a ship’s parrot, as in not the bar?

Polymorph and Tikka are the only two episodes where Kryten uses his groinal attachment.

That’s a good one but not what I was thinking of (and in Justice it’s just Long John Silver’s parrot rather than a ship’s parrot I think).

Clue: it is to do with a location.

[Rudolph]

Polymorph and Tikka are the only two episodes where Kryten uses his groinal attachment.

Bingo! That’s what I was thinking of.

It does pop up in Can’t Smeg, Won’t Smeg, to be pedantic, I suppose.

This one’s got me stumped. They definitely didn’t do a series of GamesMaster in a quarry in Wales.

[sleepey]

Is the deleted park from Justice the same one Lise Yates rolls around in?

[Dave]

It’s not a filming location but it is a real-world location.

[sleepey]

Ah

[Dave]

Bingo! The only two episodes in which characters mention Lister’s hometown by name.

[Dave]

Weirdly I thought that it had come up a lot more. The only other reference specifically by name is the Aigburth Arms caption in Ouroboros I think, although there are a couple of mentions of Scouse and Scousers.

[Flap Jack]

“Things which feel like they came up loads but actually only came up twice” has been an eye-opening aspect of this. I’m sure both Liverpool mentions and groinal attachment usage were higher in the version of Red Dwarf made in the “Mandela died in the 80s” dimension.

I have one for you – Me² and Kryten.

Having checked, it turns out it’s a link between White Hole and Officer Rimmer. They’re the only times the term scouse/scouser is used on screen.

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Does it really count as a hometown if it’s a city? And Aigburth is a suburb so I’m not sure if that counts either.

The paintings of a chimp/Rimmer on the toilet.

The only time Rimmer wears his white dress uniform outside of a fantasy?

Aren’t we forgetting one?

The solution is that it’s the two times Liverpool is mentioned.

You can argue over whether Liverpool is Lister’s hometown if you want I suppose, but that doesn’t have any bearing on the solution. 

[Warbodog]

Me2 and Kryten

Feeling best about the last one, if that’s another surprisingly limited thing.

[Flap Jack]

Warbodog got it! Those are the only 2 episodes where Esperanto – directly meaning the language, not the name of a ship – is mentioned.

[Formica]

“Things which feel like they came up loads but actually only came up twice” has been an eye-opening aspect of this.

The opposite too – having these guesses that you figure can’t be far off then realizing Red Dwarf actually uses this minor trope like once a series is its own brand of revealing. Like, oh, Red Dwarf really does rely extremely heavily on them coses of mistaken identity. You’d think the boys would’ve learned to quit making those mistakes by now

[Formica]

[International Debris]

Is the deleted park from Justice the same one Lise Yates rolls around in?

At least I had the decency to mention the bird shit.

[International Debris]

Does it really count as a hometown if it’s a city?

Yes, because it’s a broad phrase used to describe where someone was born or grew up, and there’s no such phrase as homecity.

[International Debris]

They’re the only two episodes between Confidence & Paranoia and Better Than Life.

[Warbodog]

May I offer Parallel Universe and Quarantine.

Lister knitting.

Terrorform and Skipper (by clem)

No one’s got this yet.

[Warbodog]

Lister knitting. 

It’s good, but it’s not annoyingly obscure enough.

[Rudolph]

No one’s got this yet.

Is it Rimmer being threatened with ritual sacrifice?

[clem]

Is it Rimmer being threatened with ritual sacrifice?

Ian already tried ‘Rimmer’s life endangered by three hooded figures’ in the Gallifrey Gals thread. Good answer but not what I was thinking of. 

[Warbodog]

Parallel Universe and Quarantine.

This is about a location again. I think it’s mildly interesting.

[sleepey]

Oh oops, sorry Thought I was being clever there
