light bee

I costs a great deal of energy and computer core to have a hologram
person.  Holly can only maintain one under normal circumstances 
(what's normal about Red Drawf?)
In "Me^2" Holly was able to have two Rimmer Holograms but He/She had
to shut down the rest of the ship to do it

"a bit mean" is the best way to be !

Holly informs Lister in "The End" that Lister and Rimmer shared
so many million words that he brought Rimmer back to keep Lister
company 
(Lister:  Yeah, 7 million were me telling Rimmer to Smeg off and
7 million were Rimmer putting me on report for telling him to smeg off)

In "Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers" Holly tells Lister that
the fact that Rimmer annoys the hell out of Lister will keep
Lister from being bored.

Yes but would this Engine Mechanic know why Quasars are so often
linked with Red Shifts

Besides, Lister would have to find the other disks and replace Rimmer's
disk.   Do you think Rimmer would leave them around where any munchkin
could find them ?????

hmm.. In the episode "HoloShip", the crew interview new Holograms as
potential replacements for Rimmer.  It would appear that not all the
discs have been hidden.

Greetings:

Having read thro' the entire contents of this newsgroup I have one

comment to make ............. 'SAD!'

It's all very well to debate things, but turning it into a major

discussion of how the actors and authors think is going just a little

too far. As I recall, Craig did an interview after the second series

Wogan I think, and was asked what he thought of the Series, he replied

great fun to do, a good laugh etc. But he was not interested in discussing it

further than that, it was of secondary importance to his carrer as a poet !

This newsgroup is turning into a farce (like the prisoner) trust the 

americans to screw it up !!! (Dear John is another case in point) I'll bet

the American RD is all a load of SMEG!! which is a scouse word, so you can

guess who brought it to the series.

Wouldn't be surprised if the BBC bought the us version and showed it to us !!

the've done it before !!!

PS I love watching the program, but come on let's keep it sensible from

now on yes?

Ok, here`s some of mine!  Although what you have said is theoretically
correct, Lister has tried long and hard to change this.  Remember the 
episode where he was encouraging Kryten to lie - what`s this; it`s
a banana, sir! etc etc. However, if my memory serves me well that
episode ends up with Kryten beingg able to tell bare faced lies
and the truth when he wants to.  He tells the pleasure GELF that
he`ll always be thinking of her and although it breaks his heart
to see her go she must, aka Gone With The Wind, Red Dwarf style.
He then proceeds to tell Rimmer he is a total smeg head, the reason
for which escapes me just now ( probably for being Rimmer :-). Declaring
to Lister that he can now cheat, lie, insult with the best of them, 
Lister suggests this could mean the beginning of a long and
beautiful friendship for which Kryten has another smart quip.  A great
episode and one which allows Kryten, from thereon, to openly rebel
against Rimmer.  And why not?

Here it is:

_________________________________________________________
Three million years in the future, Dave Lister, the last human being
alive, discovers he is pregnant after a liason with his female self in a
parallel universe. His pregnancy concludes with the successful delivery
of twin boys, Jim and Bexley. However, because the boys were conceived
in another universe, with different physical laws, they suffer from
highly accelorated growth rates and are both eighteen years old within
three days of being born. In order to save their lives, Lister returns
them to the universe of their origin, where they are reunited with their
father (a woman), and are able to lead comparatively normal lives. Well,
as normal as you can be if you've been born in a parallel universe and
your father's a woman and your mother's a man and you're eighteen years
old three days after your birth. Shortly afterwards, Kryten, the service
mechanoid, who had left the ship after being rescued from his own
crashed vessel, the Nova 5, is found in pieces after his space bike
crashed into an astroid. Lister rebuilds the 'roid, but is unable to
recapture his former personality. Meanwhile, Holly, the increasingly
erratic Red Dwarf computer, performs a head sex change operation on
himself. He bases his new face on Hilly, a female computer with whom
he'd once fallen madly in love.

This also shows up in "Kryten", as Kryten cleans up their quarters:

(Badly paraphrased)

Lister: (noticing Kryten cleaned out his mug) "I was growing a mold in
	there.  I was hoping to get it to be about three feet tall!"

Kryten:	"But why, Sir?"

Lister:	"Because it *drives*Rimmer*nuts*, and driving Rimmer nuts is
	 the only thing that keeps me going!"

Also, Lister does try to pass the chef's exam just so he can outrank
Rimmer, although he fails.

Rimmer hasn't erased all the other people's disks, since he is able to
mimic Kochanski in the chef's exam episode, and in "Mind Swap(?)" they
put one of the senior crew member's minds into Lister's brain -- while
Lister's patterns fall into a cup of tea...

Funny thing about HAL and Holly.
Originally, Red Dwarf started as a sketch on a radio show, which was basically a rip-off of 2001. It was about Dave, the last human alive, and his computer 
 names HAB. Over the years, it changed to HOL and then Holly.
 Then the BEEB bought the licence for the TV program, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Just hope it doesn't turn out like Star Trek TNG.  Watching this show
