I have always called this ’70s space writing’, the kind of thing you’d see in ‘Space 1999’ and the like. it is difficult to read, and unessecarily so. Imagine walking through a door marked ‘airlock’ after not understanding the sign!

The whole drive plate thing never made much sense to me anyway. Why would a mere 2nd technician, more used to ensuring that the chicken soup nozzle on vending machines wasn’t clogged, be entrusted with repairing such a vital piece of equipment such as the drive plate? Rimmer may have guilt over the incident but he still blames Lister for it, saying that if he had some help while fixing it, it wouldn’t have happened. So if Lister was unavailable as he was in stasis, why wasn’t someone else assigned to help Rimmer?
