Red Dwarf - Rimmer Is Hard

In the episode "Confidence & Paranoia" when Lister & Rimmer are in the sleeping quarters talking about love, Rimmer gets into bed and knocks the blanket hanging from Lister's bunk. As Rimmer is a soft-light hologram at this point, he shouldn't be able to touch or move anything.

Also all through this episode when Rimmer salutes, he does a Half-Rimmer with 3 hand twirls. This is only for emergencies and as Rimmer invented the salute he would always use the Full Rimmer (5 hand twirls) unless there was an emergency.

tha kil writes:: The full Rimmer was only explained in Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers, and is not mentioned once in the series. However, I agree that he shouldn't be able to move things- there are hordes of mistakes like that with Rimmer.; 5 of 7 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Smegface writes:: Of course, they might be hologrammatic sheets. After all, Holly does manage to pop up a triple fried egg sarney with chilli sauce and chutney easily enough. Still doesn't explain how Lister moved them when he was celebrating having the big bunk in Me^2 when Rimmer moved out. And in Marooned, Rimmer's using the distress call (Ascension Sunday) while pressing a panel to send it. Again, it could be hologrammatic.; 2 of 2 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

MIdAS writes:: Holly projects illusions onto solid objects to give Rimmer the impression he is tangible.; 2 of 3 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

MIdAS writes:: Rimmer may not be able to "touch" but he can interact as I described, IE he can walk through chairs, and there is no illusion that would cover it up, however, knocking a sheet corner would be small enough to create the illusion of tangiability.; 1 of 1 people found this comment helpful.

Rissa writes:: Definitely a slip-up, Chris is usually very careful but he can't always keep up the soft-light thing. Note to MIdAS - if Holly could do that, Rimmer would have him do it all the time. Remember how much of a fuss Rimmer made at the start about not being able to touch things, and how delighted he was when he was brought back in "Timeslides"? MIdAS' excuse makes no sense.; 0 of 1 people found this comment helpful. Did you?
