History WMG / RedDwarf

The first Kochanski (Grogan) and the second Kochanski (Annett) are not only physically different (explained due to [[TheOtherDarrin Grogan giving up acting and being replaced by Annett), but they're very different personality wise too.

The first Kochanski's parents divorced, and she was raised in Scotland by her father. This not only explains the accent, but also her easy going nature, and the fact she's a bit of a {{Ladette}}.

Or at least started out as one at the begining of the series.

[[WMG: Lister's past with Kochanski isn't a RetCon but a product of their interference with time at the end of Out of Time.]]
Lister (and the rest) returned to the Red Dwarf of the past, but saving any of the crew may have had effects that very potentially alter the past-future, making it futile, damaging his mentality greatly, beginning his StartOfDarkness.

Werewolf would me make sense, but then, anything would make more sense than Frankenstein.

* [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Yeah, you said that one already.]]

* Considering the amount of [[strike: continuity errors]] changes in history that occur (the number of crew originally aboard Red Dwarf, the century the accident happened etc.) this isn't too far fetched, especially considering that they travelled through time before Timeslides.

* In fact, the first episodes of that series can be considered a final judgement for them: "Tikka to Ride" was Lister's, tempted by the time machine, "Stoke me a Clipper" was Rimmer's, as he overcame his cowardice, "Duct Soup" was Kryten's, since he lied to humans and betrayed his programming, and the unaired Cat episode was Cat's.

After their damage the did to the past by the end of the episode settled, their memories got altered to match those of the new history and something they did in the past caused Lister to finally decide to ask out Kochanski back in the past.

* During the battle, you can see a "unreality jolt" effect. Shortly afterwards, Rimmer is manipulated into destroying the Time Drive, which is exactly what the bubbles are designed to do (stop looters from taking and using the Drive). In fact the whole Future Selves thing was to convince the Dwarfers not to use time travel (again, to dissuade them from using the Drive), as was Tikka to Ride (showing them the consequences of time travel abuse and convincing them not to do it.)

[[WMG: Everything that happened after Back to Reality was a hallucination ]] At the end of the episode, the Dwarfers are still hallucinating, and they only imagine that Holly brings them out of the hallucination. Everything that happens afterword is a fantasy created by the despair squid's ink. They imagine that they lose Red Dwarf, Rimmer leaves, Kochanski arrives, and the Dwarf is resurrected only for them to end up in prison. They are still are hallucinating in Back to Earth, but perhaps are starting to realize that none of what's happening is real and are close to waking up. [[WMG: The entire series is a dream [[{{Futurama}} Fry]] has while he is cryogenically frozen.]]

All throughout that episode, the crew were experiencing unreality pockets in time. Since they're seen alive in the next episode, their future selves and their attack was yet another unreality bubble.

The ridiculous amount of changes to the Red Dwarf universe seem more like glitches than reality. Holly getting a head-sex change, Kochanski's appearence, or the reconstruction of the Red Dwarf for instance. Also, Kryten was placed in the game by Rimmer, subconsciously, as an element designed to torture him. As for Rimmer leaving to become the next Ace, this was simply the real Rimmer escaping the game. He reentered to get Lister out, but was distracted by getting a fully living body.

Think about it. It makes about as much sense as the "magic bullets" theory, or any other conspiracy about WhoKilledJFK. The creators mightn't have known, but they came up with the true story of JFK's assassination.
