* While the episode seems to be trying to imply that Lister's presence didn't alter anything about the 1944 attempt to assassinate Hitler other than the latter having a scuffle with some random Englishman before the bomb exploded, there's just enough ambiguity to present the awful possibility that Lister's presence unwittingly caused the assassination attempt to fail, thus dragging out the war in Europe by a further year.

(On the other hand, if Hitler was assassinated, then likely his successor would have been more competent and the war would have dragged on longer.)

The bomb was from Claus von Stauffenberg's attempt to assassinate Hitler, which took place in 1944; the war was already well underway by then.


* A newspaper Lister reads after their timeslide experiment shows he was responsible for chucking a bomb at Adolf Hitler. What does that mean for WWII? Hitler didn't like Britain to begin with, but this incident could have given the Fuhrer direct cause to declare war on Great Britain in response to some Welsh smeghead assaulting him in Nuremberg, robbing him and then finally throwing a bomb at Hitler. Did Lister inadvertently start WWII and how did Hitler's strategy formulate from that incident?
** Welsh? Surely you mean Scouse.



* Why did somebody take a photograph of eight year old boys sleeping in a dormitory.

* When Rimmer travels back to rich Lister's house and his own boarding school, there doesn't seem to be anybody around with a camera to take the pictures he's travelling into.

Seriously.


* Why is Rimmer still on board the Red Dwarf after Lister alters time? It's specified that Kryten and The Cat aren't there because Lister brought them onboard. But Rimmer was only brought back as a hologram to keep Lister sane, so he shouldn't be there either.

* As one Tumblr user theorized, one reason that Rimmer could come back alive after talking to his younger self may have affected his attitude, if only slightly, to holograms and time, consequently lightening his judgment towards [[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonIIStasisLeak his hologram head popping up through the table and telling him to enter a stasis booth]].

I can't find the Tumblr post at the moment, so either Wiki Magic it or delete it outright if necessary.
