* OppositeSexClone: Rimmer tries and fails to accomplish this, but his first effort fails. He did eventually succeed, given that we see female Rimmers.

* OppositeSexClone: Rimmer tries and fails to accomplish this, but his first effort fails. He did eventually succeed, given that we see female Rimmers. His log notes that technically a female clone of himself would be his sister making sex between them [[BrotherSisterIncest morally dubious]].
-->'''Rimmer:''' After much soul-searching I reluctantly decided, "What the hell", I just wouldn't tell her.

Alphabetizing example(s)


* OneDialogueTwoConversations: Lister tries to have a DoubleMeaning conversation with the simulant when he sees Rimmer positioned behind her... but soon starts saying "you can't be serious, think of all we've been through" to the simulant's confusion.
* OppositeSexClone: Rimmer tries and fails to accomplish this, but his first effort fails. He did eventually succeed, given that we see female Rimmers.
* OurClonesAreDifferent: Rimmer tries to populate a planet in the process of being terraformed with copies of himself. For starters, the clones are created from his [[{{Hologram}} holographic matrix]] in lieu of actual DNA. They also come out fully grown from a cocoon. Rimmer is initially unable to create an [[OppositeSexClone Opposite-Sex Clones]], although when the other Dwarfers get there, the presence of female Rimmers suggests that he eventually succeeded in the end.

* FromBadToWorse: Zig-zagged. After he initially gets off the exploding simulant ship in the escape pod, Rimmer is informed that it'll take 18 months for it to land on a habitable planet, and thereby the other three to catch up with it. However, the pod then finds a wormhole that'll bring it to a different habitable planet in just four days... only for Kryten to point out that due to the wormhole's time dilation effects, from Rimmer's perspective it'll be ''six hundred years'' before they catch up.

The episode begins with Rimmer getting the bad news: despite being a hologram, his program has a rare flaw caused by his living self's disastrous genetic and stress-related health problems, and he must avoid stressful situations or risk a fatal error. Also, Lister has decided to loot the derelict of the simulant ship that they destroyed because the supply situation is desperate.

to say this line it.\\
'''Rimmer-Clone:''' Say what?\\
'''Lister:''' "Take us
to the Rimmer-clones, but he does it.your leader."\\

--> '''Rimmer:''' So let me get this straight. If we board that ship and get captured, we're finished. If we board that ship, don't get captured but the superstructure disintegrates around us, we're finished. However, [[RuleOfThree if we board that ship]], don't get captured and the superstructure doesn't disintegrate around us... but we can't find any fuel, we are in fact finished.\\

* UnlimitedWardrobe: Subverted, for once, with The Cat. He's wearing the same outfit he wore in "Gunmen Of The Apocalypse". Lampshaded, too, as he goes out of his way to insist to the Simulant that he's wearing a different outfit.

* PlanetOfHats: Possibly the most hideous version, a planet populated entirely by Rimmers, who have deified the darkest parts of his personality. Gutless, gormless, charmlessness is the order of the day. Heroism, selflessness and good looks are considered crimes worthy of banishment.

And as Kryten explains, since there's no outbreeding, genetics-based lunacy persisted throughout the entire race.
