Added DiffLines:
* LivingPhoto: The episode "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonIIITimeslides Timeslides]]" Kryten discovers that some three million-year old photo developer has "evolved" so that photos developed with it become windows into the past, when put in a projector one can even use them for limited TimeTravel. One of the first indicators that the photographs have mutated is that they come to life, depicting scenes in action like Kryten having a birthday.

PointOfDivergence:
** One little split in the destiny line created Ace Rimmer. However, it turns out that it's ''not'' getting a break and passing a test that created Ace - it's being held back a year and humiliated that made him finally fight back, which makes ''our'' Rimmer's "it's not my fault, I just had a bad childhood" line technically true.
** While the actual PointOfDivergence was likely earlier given the differences between the two Kochanskis, the alternate dimension seen in "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVIIOuroboros Ouroboros]]" definitively split off from the main one when Kochanski discovered Frankenstein and confiscated her from Lister. This led to ''her'' being put in stasis and surviving the accident instead of Lister.

* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: In "Marooned", Rimmer gives high praise to Lister for actually burning his guitar, as he knows it means as much to him as Rimmer's Javanese camphor-wood trunk means to him, relating to Lister exactly ''what'' that trunk symbolizes to him. Too bad for Rimmer that Lister just cut a guitar-shaped hole in the trunk.

It foretells the future accurately. Rimmer sees Lister getting killed and Lister has some regrets about dying young. He claims he has has never read... a book.

However Lister is none too keen on having his mind wiped as part of the procedure:
-->'''Rimmer''': Look, Lister I agree it's a STUPID plan, it almost certainly won't work but the very worst that can happen, the very bottom line is that you'll be a mindless, gibbering vegetable for the rest of your life. But (points to the bomb's countdown) if the rest of your life is only 20 seconds WHAT THE HELL?

It's shown off in "Psirens", where they generate the illusion of a flaming meteor and then a radar readout to get the Dwarfers to crash into their territory, then disguise themselves as beings such as Kochanski and two female temptresses to get them to leave Starbug and get within their range.

** Subverted in Series XII, where Lister canonically celebrates his [[spoiler:62nd]] birthday, which is just as big of a GutPunch to Lister himself, because he'd been living every day of his life exactly the same aboard the Dwarf. It's possible he was just wrong about his and Kochanski's age in Series X.

* LastDayOfNormalcy: [[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonITheEnd The very first episode]] gives us a glimpse of a normal day at Rimmer and Lister's jobs, where we see them bickering over their jobs, as well as seeing how Rimmer fares against the Officer's exams (badly) and both Lister's relationship with Kochanski and his Dream of starting a farm in Fiji. Whilst a crew member's funeral occurs that day, he is promptly resurrected as a VirtualGhost and it's treated as nothing too serious. Then, Lister is found to have an illegal cat on board, is forced into stasis, and wakes up 3 million years into the future to find that EverybodysDeadDave.
