 The episode plays heavily on the theory, for every decision, the alternative is played in another reality, opening the possibilities to infinite universes where anything could be true.Lister sums this up by saying, somewhere, there may be a super freaky weird reality where Rimmer is the better looking of the two.All the alternative characters appear as 'better' than those in the current reality; Rimmer is heroic and sexually irresistible, Lister is a brilliant engineer married to Kristine Kochanski, The Cat is a morally respectable chaplain, Kryten is a high-ranking space corps official, able to give orders rather than receive them.
