19* ''Status'': Complete
20* ''Synopsis'': Rimmer’s astronavs are tomorrow morning, and as usual, he’s in a bit of a crisis. Hoping to improve his abilities, he tries to infect himself with the luck virus, but takes a megadose of confidence instead. As he rapidly experiences the effects of the virus, he grows increasingly reckless, euphoric, and erratic, in the exam room and beyond. It’s all just harmless fun until Rimmer becomes convinced he can upgrade the ship’s recyc system, and what’s more, his light bee is starting to fail under the strain of all this energy. The crew needs to bring him down – fast.
21* ''Tags'': Humour, OriginalFlavour

35* ''Synopsis'': Rimmer is placed into stasis instead of Lister, emerging 3 million years in the future as the last human being alive. To keep him sane Holly brings back Kristine Kochanski as the ship's hologram, leaving these two as our main duo in a rewrite of the series.

64* ''Comments'': Lines from the show edited into honest-to-god lyrics to make an improbably catchy song. Probably one of the best fanvids I have ever seen.
