This Is A Theory For The TV Series On How Original Rimmer Could Have Returned After Series 8.

This is a theory for the TV series on how original Rimmer could have returned after series 8.

However a small spoiler warning because I have been rereading the Red Dwarf books and I am up to 'Backwards' and it is referenced as something to explain in more detail about the dimensional travel.

I have read up to Ace and the burnt Wildfire and how they plan on solving what went wrong, and a thought occured to me when they were talking about it being almost impossible to return to your universe of origin, this being due to the vast expanse of universes growing by every possible different choice being made. So it is possible to return just unlikely meaning that original Rimmer could get back.

I then though about the end of series 8, and how later in 'Back to Earth' hologram Rimmer is back. I know of many different theories people have had and I want to present one of my own.

The theory is that our Rimmer from pre-series 8 had double the chance of finding home. Although that is still a small chance it is more likely. He could have jumped into either his home universe of into the mirror universe. If we choose to belive he jumped into the mirror universe it is possible he passed through the mirror/portal and entered into the main universe. And him walking through could have broken the connection and been the reason the mirror was broken and nanobot Rimmer was unable to return through it. Rimmer is then onboard the ship and able to "save" the day meanwhile if nanobot Rimmer found Wildfire, it means that the legacy of Ace is not necessarily gone as he could take on the mantle. (It has been a while since watching 'Only the Good' so remind me if I'm wrong about anything).

I also really would find it funny for the biggest coward to be capable of making his way home when others couldn't, and I feel it fits well with his character that he would do something near impossible rather than be brave and put himself in danger for other people.

Thanks for reading. Have a good day/night.

Hello. Another text post.

Recently me and my siblings have been watching through 'Brittas Empire' we are currently up to series 3. But although he is incredibly annoying, Brittas is still my favourite character, but for entirely different reasons to Rimmer being my favourite from 'Red Dwarf'.

The thing about Brittas is that he is annoying, but not because he means to. He doesn't realise that others dislike the way he is and has what he feels is best at heart. While Rimmer is just stubborn and thinks with himself at heart. Both are difficult to be around, but Brittas does not mean to be. Rimmer knows that he annoys people and still expects people to like him.

Brittas is my favourite because he is just trying to think of what is best, and he is a good person who just goes about things the wrong way and doesn't realise. He belives that he is nice and he does the best he could.

Meanwhile Rimmer is my favourite because, he is on one hand a self-preserving coward who values his life over others, but he also hates himself. We know this from the many looks into his mind, that although he puts on an act of loving himself and pretending he is a charming and amazing person, while in reality these traits of him are long gone and a feeling of self loathing has taken over. That is why he is my favourite.

As you can see, they although at first look seem very similar they are quite different.

I think i might begin to make more text posts because I enjoy hearing peoples opinions on things I enjoy. See if I agree or disagree. Have a nice day/night if you read this far.
