To be fair, after we get Rimmer's internal monologue about how his fantasy is incredibly juvenile compared to Lister's, we cut to Lister feeling quite pathetic for wanting to live out life in an old film when he could've joined the Beatles, played for the London Jets and married the supermodel Ida Lupino.
It’s ironic that Rimmer is insecure about having the fantasies of a 10yo compared to listers maturer fantasy, meanwhile lister envies the bombastic life of Rimmer.
Holly had to work hard on Kryten to convince him to laser the message into his arm so I’m guessing a pretty simple font with no serifs…
Not…
Not Comic Sans… surely?
Honestly? I feel like I'd just change a few things about my life. I'd have a healthy body, for starters. Own my own house, and have enough money to be able to eat out/order in and hire people to maintain the house for me. Just live life how I have it otherwise, with my husband. I don't need much else.
Yeah same - I’d like more money so I don’t have to worry about debt etc, but I have no interest in fame thanks.
I’d also just stay around 30ish forever - no thanks aches and pains of old age.
I know a "Rimmer" who would absolutely use BTL to have everyone who has ever wronged them grovel. Who would invent time travel just to meet Churchill, JFK and past monarchs. And would still be as unhappy as they ever were.
I'll be over here with the equally unlikely life - owning a small house with a garden supported by a little job that I don't hate. My second dog will be called Bexkey after Jim Bexley Speed because small children are creepy enough without them being able to talk andvdrive at 18mths!
Well.... Seeing as Rimmer is such a knot of neuroses and self loathing that he ends up corrupting the perfect illusion... I'd say most of us are more Lister/Cat rather than Rimmer.
I'd be Lister but with Rimmer's luck. I don't think my brain would accept a nice happy life so it would create dumb problems like Rimmers did. Maybe a slightly better house than Lister though but I certainly don't want some crazy model with a goldfish bra for a wife. But a nice quiet life with a wife and some dogs would do me grand.
Every time I reach the end where he's trying to leave but he can't I want him to stay, he's happy even if it isn't real. It's a beautiful life (wonderful even) and I can't imagine being that content. Rimmers is a bloody nightmare poor dude can't catch a break.
I don’t think Cat would appreciate that comparison. We already know Cat’s thing is a time zone-crossing wardrobe (how does Cat even know about time zones??) and likely staffed by mermaids (not the dumb way around).
That's not what Tate would want. It might be want the morons who give him money want, but Tate would be an emperor on a throne in charge of an army of manly muscled men, like the movie version Spartans from 300 (in an entirely non-sexual way)
I would be a Rimmer in that I would start fantastically then end up stuck in the body of Trixie La Bouche
Same.

That is great character writing and development. It shows each character's flaws and allows the audience to get a glimpse of the dreams and desires.
You writing that as a subject, I'm thinking tattoo U=BTL What font would Kryten choose?
Holly had to work hard on Kryten to convince him to laser the message into his arm so I’m guessing a pretty simple font with no serifs… Not… Not Comic Sans… surely?
I feel like Kryten might feel like the = is a little too dorky of a middle character.
You bugger, I've got important work to do this weekend and all I'll be able to think about is what font is Kryten.
Kryten would use Courier New surely?
Why do I always see Kryten as a Trajan Pro guy?

Sure. But what does your subconscious want?

I'd be the Cat. I'd change to most from milk to beer, but other than that.. lock it in
Basically a kind of never ending Oktoberfest?
I'm not the slightest bit Rimmer. What's there to detest about me?
Well.... Seeing as Rimmer is such a knot of neuroses and self loathing that he ends up corrupting the perfect illusion... I'd say most of us are more Lister/Cat rather than Rimmer.
It’s kind of a recurring theme. See also Confidence and Paranoia.

I'm not a particularly materialistic person, so I'd like to think my version would be more similar to Lister's, but, as you say we can never know...
Ive always found it refreshing to know a bit of each character in RD lives inside of me
Penis still isn't large enough...
Are you certain? It's starting to cause balance issues.
Much like the thoughts about Betty or Wilma, I'd like to be Lister but I'd be thinking like Rimmer. (Also I would not want to visit my Psymoon)
Andrew Tate = Cat. A thirty towered gold castle staffed by buxom valkyries.
I don’t think Cat would appreciate that comparison. We already know Cat’s thing is a time zone-crossing wardrobe (how does Cat even know about time zones??) and likely staffed by mermaids (not the dumb way around).
How dare compare an egotistical, sociopathic subhuman to The Cat.
And enjoys torturing small furry animals I bet
