Notes
- This episode Rimmer’s hologram gets upgraded from soft light to “hard light”, which means he can touch things. He’s also nearly indestructible as while he can feel pain and pleasure, he can’t be physically destroyed.
- Lister has an appendectomy in this episode, but earlier in the series he mentioned already having it taken out.
- The best “Space Core Directive” of ’em all comes from this one. Space Core Directive 34124 – No officer with false teeth should attempt oral sex in zero gravity.

The crew encounter an entity who turns out to be one that is made up of all the crew's minds, as well as being a super brilliant entity of his own. He tries to trap the crew there because if the crew leaves, then Legion will go pic.twitter.com/svsfMbGtsi

away. There's some fun physical comedy here. First is a dining scene & then one with cartoon violence. That's because Rimmer's hologram is upgraded to (indestructible) "hard light". There's a scene where they test that.🤣 pic.twitter.com/YFfhJMqF4s
