History Fridge / RedDwarf

** I long thought that ''Back to Earth'' was a pointless addition to the series, but then it dawned on me. The boys are asking for more life. They're asking for more ''episodes''! - {{Tropers/T-Jack}}
** The virtual reality TIV game 'Better Than Life' (as seen in the novel, and series 2 episode, sharing the same name as the game itself) is a virtual simulation that can tap into your subconscious, and make all your dreams desires come true with your sensations alluding you to think that you're physically there. The issue is, is that life is perfect for you within this simulation, so you'll never want to leave. Why would you return to real life where you ''couldn't'' get whatever you wanted just by sheer thought, after you've experienced it in the simulation game? You'd stay in that game forever. The kick of the game is, that while you're experiencing your fondest dreams and desires with whoever (and whatever) you chose, the game is actually slowly eroding and killing your mind, as you remain trapped and unable to escape. Other people from outside cannot remove you from the game by removing your headgear, because you'll die from the shock. The only way you can escape, is to WISH yourself out. But why would you?
*** Bit of an addition to this. In the TV episode, detailing the game, the only reason the crew DID wish themselves out was because of Rimmer's self loathing and self destructive mind, which ended up turning the game into a nightmare. Had Rimmer's dysfunctional and damaged mind not been there, if he had a good upbringing, if his peers respected him, if Holly never resurrected him, or if he never boarded Red Dwarf in the first place, Cat and Lister would have been destroyed by the game because they would never want to leave. Rimmer is more of a hero than they think, admittedly in a slightly twisted and accidental way.

** The Cat's main sense is his smell, so it becomes synonamous with "sense", possibly. It could be said it subsitutes for his "sixth sense" or a hunch.

* In Back in the Red, when the dwarfers have to get to the medical ward to escape, Cat goes up to the biggest, toughest guy in the cafeteria, calls him his Bitch, and then tightens up his face, ''Because he was expected to be punched there''. Cat, the ultrashallow fashion fanatic, was willing to have the thing he loved the most broken to help his friend. [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And Rimmer.]]

** Lister was also eating bits of the dead crew in The End. The only way the nanobots could have completey rebuilt them using the same pieces is if the nanobots searched through the sewage. That's right, half of the Red Dwarf crew had partially been ejected from the bowels of Dave Lister.
* Rimmer was a self-serving selfish smeghead in season one, who'd take no regard for the lifes of mechanical beings, but over time, mainly his experience in Rimmerworld, he'd gone to become much more altruistic and heroic, managing to become an Ace in the end. But from series eight, the Rimmer we knew is the one from series one again. Of course, this ''does'' serve to keep him Rimmer-like.

* The nanobots rebuilt the Red Dwarf along with its entire crew. Except for Listers universe' version of Kochanski.

** Or is it FridgeBrilliance? Aftr all, the nanobots already recognized a living Kochanski aboard Starbug.

* You know I just thought about it... as gross as Lister is for trying to pursue a relationship with what is essentially his own mother, [[ParentalIncest Kochanski is equally interested in pursuing a relationship with what is her own dead son]]. [[{{Squick Ewwwwww]]. -- Peteman
