THE RED DWARF PLOT INCONSISTENCIES PROJECT v.8.0
3.6 SERIES 6
Psirens (6-1)
When Starbug is hit by the flaming meteorite and crashes on
the asteroid, the falling ship can clearly be seen to have 'Starbug' written
on it in mirror-writing; ie. the film has been reversed.
The spike that skewers Pete Tranter's sister is visible for
several seconds of her and Lister's embrace before she reacts to it.
Legion (6-2)
- Lister mouths the Cat's line as he says it. ('The whole panel's deader
than A-line flares with pockets in the knees.')
- In the scene where Legion stabs his left hand, causing everyone to grab
and shake their left hands, Lister grabs and shakes his right hand.
- When Rimmer extracts his own Light Bee, where does it go? All trace of
Rimmer just disappears.
- When Kryten starts drinking the telekinetic wine, the glass contains more liquid than it did in the shot a few seconds earlier. After Kryten stops drinking, the glass contains the same amount of wine that it did in the earlier shot.
- Despite the fact that a large volume of wine hits Lister in the face when he tries to drink it, the liquid level in the glass is the same when it starts 'spurting' as when it stops. Also, Lister's glass has less liquid in it before Kryten starts drinking than it does when Lister starts drinking from the glass.
- After Legion gets hit, for a brief second his real face can be seen as he
adjusts his mask.
Gunmen Of The Apocalypse (6-3)
- The bullets that hit the ground are perfectly formed and not violently
mutilated as they should have been by the impact with the other bullets.
- The other two bullets (four were fired) are not heard to fall or are heard
of ever again.
- Lister again mouths the Cat's lines as he says them. ('...lying cartoons.'
'Why not?')
- When the Apocalypse Boys tell Kryten to get out of town and they shoot the bottle out of his hand, the remains of the bottle neck can be seen to drop from Kryten's hand onto the ground. However, in the very next shot, Kryten is still dancing, but there is no bottle neck on the ground -- instead he is still clutching it in his hand from where the rest of the bottle was shot away.
Rimmerworld (6-5)
- When 'Rimmer' kisses his concubine, the shot shows that the concubine is
kissing a woman.
- Lister again mouths the Cat's lines as he says them. ('All in all a
hundred per cent successful trip.' 'Form an orderly queue behind the
gunsight.')
