Things Exactly 2 Episodes Have In Common

[clem]

Parallel Universe and Quarantine.

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

Stumped again. Both of those episodes have fairly obviously disguised sets – they just added hazard tape around the door to change the stasis booth into an airlock for Parallel Universe, and the quarantine room is the sleeping quarters set. It’s too vague and they aren’t the only examples anyway but perhaps on the right lines.

It’s a named in-universe location like the Liverpool one. Just milking it because I won’t have any other ideas. Thanks for playing!

Both include references to wanking

Both include references to wanking 

I thought of that too, but there are some others.

clem got a correct but pedantically incorrect answer immediately, so maybe we should specify a category from the off.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Ah
ivw just been through both episodes twice and barely see references to locations let alone the same ones 

that’s including things like discos, cargo decks, bays etc 

[Warbodog]

It’s not referred to by exactly the same word in Quarantine. The same word is used in Twentica, but not referring to a location there.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

[Warbodog]

Yep! I thought it was mildly interesting that those are the only times it’s ever mentioned (more in the book/s), though maybe not worth wasting people’s time to point out.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

How does Cat know where or what Mars is and why does he use it as a frame of reference for something far away?

Terrorform and Skipper (by clem)
No one’s got this yet.

Gongs?

[clem]

Gongs?

Well done.

Axes?

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

 2) Demons & Angels and Timewave

Lister in D&A and Rimmer in Timewave have boiling hot drinks poured on their genitals 

[Formica]

D&A and Timewave. Are they the only episodes with portions of a personality extracted and personified? (Deliberately phrased to exclude Polymorph.) Surely it’s a more obscure answer

Surely Terrorform fits that criteria, with the resurrected personality traits at the end

[Ben Saunders]

Axes?

More specifically, Kryten getting hit with axes

Lister in D&A and Rimmer in Timewave have boiling hot drinks poured on their genitals

Correct

[Ian Symes]

Balance of Power and Can of Worms.

[Warbodog]

Balance of Power and Can of Worms.

The only titles with an ‘of’ that’s not followed by a word starting with a ‘T.’

[Ian Symes]

You’re forgetting Of Ficer Rimmer.

[Dave]

Balance of Power and Can of Worms.

Seeing the Cat race’s part of the ship.

Edit: ignore me, for some reason I saw Balance of Power and thought Waiting For God.

[Warbodog]

Balance of Power and Can of Worms.

If it’s this, that’s fucking obscure!

[Ian Symes]

Correct on all counts.

Pete Part I and Pete Part II, first not-wrong answer wins.

[Dave]

The Last Day

Star Trek.

Star Trek.

Yes. Well done. 

[Dave]

The Last Day

Demons & Angels

[Warbodog]

The Last Day

Strawberries?

[Dave]

Quarantine and Back to Reality.

Only two episodes in one series to both be chosen as VHS Byte One and Byte Two titles despite not being the first and fourth episodes of the series respectively. 

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Quarantine and Back to Reality.

Lister, Cat and Kryten go off ship leaving Rimmer behind?

[Dave]

The Last Day
Demons & Angels

Strawberries?

Correct!

[Flap Jack]

Quarantine and Back to Reality.

Rimmer has a massive hallucinogenic episode after being remotely infected by a hostile entity the rest of the crew encounter while exploring a celestial body.

[Warbodog]

Pete Part I and Pete Part II, first not-wrong answer wins.

Fine, no one fall for the trick.

[Flap Jack]

Were you hoping someone would say “those are the only 2 episodes with Pete in them”, and you’d go “Haha, you fool, Pete actually appeared in every episode of Series VIII!”.

[Warbodog]

Were you hoping someone would say “those are the only 2 episodes with Pete in them”, and you’d go “Haha, you fool, Pete actually appeared in every episode of Series VIII!”.

Birdman and Archie would also have done.

[Flap Jack]

Honestly I could have fallen for it, especially as Birdman’s appearance in the opening is blink and you miss it. But I thought you were just joking about how many obvious solutions there were, and weren’t expecting people to actually answer.

Anyway, Pete Part I and Pete Part II are the only 2 episodes which are parts of a 2-parter. Did I win?

[Warbodog]

Yeah, fine.

[Ian Symes]

I’m not having this. People or things appearing in the title sequence do not count as being in the episode.

Things Exactly 8 Episodes Have In Common: Duane Dibbley

[Warbodog]

Why does this site’s episode guide say Out of Time has no guest cast when Steven Wickham’s in it?

[Ben Saunders]

Gunmen of the Apocalypse and Entangled.

[Dave]

Gunmen of the Apocalypse and Entangled.

Rimmer switching between hard and soft light modes?

[Ben Saunders]

You’re getting these far too quickly.

Quarantine and Entangled?

[Flap Jack]

I’m not having this. People or things appearing in the title sequence do not count as being in the episode.

What’s your stance on recaps, and other reused footage?

[clem]

Quarantine and Entangled?

Cat and Kryten, only those two, speaking in unison? 

[Ian Symes]

What’s your stance on recaps, and other reused footage?

Interesting. I feel like if it’s diegetic to some extent (like Lister’s recap in Tikka, or the Hollister logs for BITR), then probably yes. If it’s just preceding the main action, such as Nanarchy and Pete Part Two, then no.
