Man, we are likely the ONLY RT crew without blueberries. This cannot fly. And he's only getting a few, like 6 or 7. Just shut up and enjoy the women specifically bred and trained to appear friendly and attractive to us. They're like, drip caste or something. I don't really remember. Hard to concentrate on what they're saying when they're all smuggling the kind of fruit that would make even the top agriworlder shut down his melon branch in shame.

You aren't supposed to know about QUEEG until it's too late.
>>
>>35217509

Thing is Queeg is fake in the show, but real in the books. Where he get's a throwaway mention.

The books were pretty good actually, although they did end up making the Talking Toaster more of a character than the show ever did.

they're kind of in parallel. and off to the side.

Often they'll cover similar events to the show, but there will be differences and expanded rationalisations of things.

and there are two separate third books, one by each of the authors.

The entire thing is like a maze of parallel universes. Which is appropriate enough, for Red Dwarf.

>>35217738

>>
>>35217731
What was going through his mind?
>>
>>35217846
In fact, it was now possible for Rimmer to revise solidly for three months and not learn anything at all.

The first week of study, he would always devote to the construction of a revision timetable. Weeks of patient effort would be spent planning, designing and creating a revision schedule which, when finished, were minor works of art.

Every hour of every day was subdivided into different study periods, each labelled in his lovely, tiny copperplate hand; then painted over in watercolours, a different colour for each subject, the colours gradually becoming bolder and more urgent shades as the exam time approached. The effect was as if a myriad tiny rainbows had splintered and sprinkled across the poster-sized sheet of creamwove card.

The only problem was this: because the timetables often took seven or eight weeks, and sometimes more, to complete, by the time Rimmer had finished them the exam was almost on him. He'd then have to cram three months of astronavigation revision into a single week. Gripped by an almost deranging panic, he'd then decide to sacrifice the first two days of that final week to the making of another timetable. This time for someone who had to pack three months of revision into five days.
>>
>>35217914
Because five days now had to accommodate three months' work, the first thing that had to go was sleep. To prepare for an unrelenting twenty-four hours a day sleep-free schedule, Rimmer would spend the whole of the first remaining day in bed - to be extra, ultra fresh, so he would be able to squeeze three whole months of revision into four short days.

Within an hour of getting up the next morning, he would feel inexplicably exhausted, and start early on his supply of Go-Double-Plus caffeine tablets. By lunchtime he'd overdose, and have to make the journey down to the ship's medical unit for a sedative to help him calm down. The sedative usually sent him off to sleep, and he'd wake up the following morning with only three days left, and an anxiety that was so crippling he could scarcely move. A month of revision to be crammed into each day.

At this point he would start smoking. A lifelong nonsmoker, he'd become a forty-a-day man. He'd spend the whole day pacing up and down his room, smoking three or four cigarettes at a time, stopping occasionally to stare at the titles in his bookcase, not knowing which one to read first, and popping twice the recommended dosage of dogworming tablets, which he erroneously believed to contain amphetamine.
>>
>>35217933
Realising he was getting nowhere, he'd try to get rid of his soul-bending tension by treating himself to an evening in one of Red Dwarf's quieter bars. There he would sit, in the plastic oak-beamed 'Happy Astro' pub, nursing a small beer, grimly trying to be light-hearted and totally relaxed. Two small beers and three hours of stomach-knotting relaxation later, he would go back to his bunk and spend half the night awake, praying to a God he didn't believe in for a miracle that couldn't happen.

Two days to go, and ravaged by the combination of anxiety, nicotine, caffeine tablets, alcohol he wasn't used to, dog-worming pills, and overall exhaustion, he would sleep in till mid-afternoon.

After a long scream, he would rationalize that the day was a total write-off, and the rest of the afternoon would be spent shopping for the three best alarm clocks money could buy. This would often take five or six hours, and he would arrive back at his sleeping quarters exhausted, but knowing he was fully prepared for the final day's revision before his exam.

Waking at four-thirty in the morning, after exercising, showering and breakfasting, he would sit down to prepare a final, final revision timetable, which would condense three months of revision into twelve short hours. This done, he would give up and go back to bed. Maybe he didn't know a single thing about astronavigation, but at least he'd be fresh for the exam the next day.

Which is why Rimmer failed exams.
>>
>>35217943
Which is why he'd received nine 'F's for fail and two 'X's for unclassified. The first 'X' he'd achieved when he'd actually managed to get hold of some real amphetamines, gone into spasm and collapsed two minutes into the exam; and the second when anxiety got so much the better of him his subconscious forced him to deny his own existence, and he had written 'I am a fish' five hundred times on every single answer sheet. He'd even gone out for extra paper. What was more shocking than anything was that he'd thought he'd done quite well.

They're different, but at the same time, remarkably brilliant.

Some times things work out differently to the show. Or elaborate on it. Like what the Nova 5 was doing, and why it crashed. Making suns go nova to spell out a giant soda advert in the sky above earth. And it crashed because Kryten cleaned the computer. With soap and water.

At other times, it gives characters a slightly different spin. Lister is actually somewhat clever. (You can make a conclusion about him being like that sometimes in the show, in the book it's more explicit) Bringing Frankenstein on board, for instance, was actually a deliberate plan to get himself put in stasis so he could get back to Earth "sooner". He made sure she was clean of all diseases as well, so there'd be no actual danger to the crew. When no one noticed her, he got worried, so decided to take a photo of him and the cat and send it to be developed so they'd have to notice her.

Arms. With melee weapons.
>>
>>35219504
actually, that was a development during the writing of the show.

Originally Lister really WAS supposed to be just that dense... kind of a carryon from the prototype "Dave Hollins: Space Cadet". He's noticeably slower during the first season: Not knowing what an iguana is, "everybody's dead dave", etc.

In later seasons he just becomes kind of a chronic underachiever.

>>35219818
I rather like both of them myself, for different reasons. The fact that they both go in different directions is fine with me: Red Dwarf has always had this kind of parallel universe slant, so I don't really have a problem with the fact that there are now three or four distinct "endings" to it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifaw07fuU00
>>
>>35219946
Yeah, it's interesting to see a similar thing happen with Kochanski in last human, resembling their later series portrayal.

I think they made the human Kryten scene more amusing though.

On the lister stupidity front, it varied even in the early episodes. At the start of series 2 he's even learned Esperanto, while not even trying, just because Rimmer was failing at it while he was doing other things.
And the Cat language, which used an entirely different sense.

And he's a pretty decent chef, even if it doesn't come out like he planned.

Later season 1 it's started creeping in. By season 2, it's pretty established, and in even later series it's more or less made explicit, and even nodded to in places like "Spanners" Lister (which is again referenced in the books, where Rimmer isn't on Red Dwarf, so Lister winds up rooming with a guy named Lew Pemberton who is instrumental in keeping Dave and Kochanski together and helping him study to actually become a respected engineer who comes to Europa base where he eventually meets Ace.)

A lot of the characterisation that developed was basically the writers caricaturing the actors who played them.
