Line 4:
** Given how Benedict Arnold isn't ''that'' well known in the UK, that first one might just be Accidental Fridge Brilliance rather than deliberate.
*** You mean the selfless loyalist who did his best to serve King and Country against the dastardly insurrectionists and insurgents?
* At first glance, the TV Show version of Better Than Life seems like a [[Lighter and Softer]] ripoff of the real game from the novels. But the novels mention that there was a "point 01" version that mimics the version seen in the TV series
** And they never play it again, as the novel states this version becomes boring and unplayable within a few days. Although, they could just be avoiding it due to what happened with Rimmer.
* In the second episode, Rimmer tells Lister "You can't whack Death on the head". {{spoiler|The finale of series eight has [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Rimmer kick Death in the knackers]].}}
Line 17:
*** Which is why everything went down the crapper when he left.
*** The novelization gives an explanation: the original BTL was like what it was in the TV show, in which your wishes were fulfilled post-haste. But the thing about it was that eventually, people got bored because they knew they were in a fantasy world and there was no effort involved. The Mark II in the novels was far more sinister, in that people didn't know they were in the game, and everything worked out in a way to obscure its involvement but caused people to waste away without realizing. So it's not really [[Fridge Horror]] in the TV show, because its lack of immersion would eventually have driven them out.
* The Cat's dream sequence in Series II. [[
* The events in ''Quarantine'' make a lot more sense if you listen closely over the series and realize that the boys really don't like each other that much:
{{quote|Kryten: You'll like them. Well, some of them. Well one of them. Maybe.}}
Line 51:
== Fridge [[Heartwarming Moment]] ==
* In Only the Good, when the dwarfers have to get to the medical ward to escape, Cat goes up to the biggest, toughest guy in the cafeteria, calls him his Bitch, and then tightens up his face, ''Because he was expected to be punched there''. Cat, the ultrashallow fashion fanatic, was willing to have the thing he loved the most broken to help his friend.
** Take it a step further: Rimmer ''actually comes back''. He left behind a universe where he was captain, his dream come true, but he still comes back with the antidote to help the others. It shows just how close they've become over the course of just one season.
