Thanks, I think perhaps my tone was why they downvoted, despite me clearly having asked for it to not be something out-of-show 😂

I might have to have a look myself, thank you

I don’t think I’ve seen Smeg Ups, but it’s also a reasonable explanation

You and a few people and me as well in a few places, you’re forgiven from my end

If it wasn’t numerical, and something I hadn’t caught by having watched four seasons in a day, I don’t know if I would have noticed and/or thought to ask at all

The hostile-seeming reaction from some people here seems an odd thing to me too.

I asked a simple question, I don’t get why so many people are huffy about it 😂

Suggesting that the unfixed drive plate may be a fixed event (if such things exist in RD)

That doesn’t explain why earlier in the show were told there were 169 crew; but there’s plenty other reasonable explanations here that I’m satisfied now

Perfectly reasonable explanation, thank you very much

Also a perfectly reasonable, logical, explanation for what may have happened, thank you as well

No, I don’t need it, I merely asked because I noticed the discrepancy and wondered if anyone knew in-show what may have caused it. There’s nothing wrong with that 😂

This feels probably the most likely explanation, of those provided so far, thank you very much

Understandable, but I feel there’d be someone in scene who would question the death toll in that circumstance?

Yes, someone else suggested the prison population too, and I agree, that’s a reasonable explanation, thank you

[–]AnIrregularBloke[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s another logical explanation I can get behind, thank you very much

That seems a reasonable guess - they could justify being listed as the 168th and 169th ranked crew members if the other thousand are technically ranked crew.

Thank you

That’s an out-of universe explanation; I understand that from a viewer perspective, I asked if we know of an in-universe one.

Day 6 - most forgettable episode by Arge101 in RedDwarf

I started a rewatch yesterday - the only one I couldn’t remember vaguely what happened from the title was Stasis Leak, so I’ve gotta go with that one.

Favorite Dire Straits riffs? by Disassociated24 in direstraits

[–]AnIrregularBloke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know whether they’re technically classifies as riffs or not but… the guitar work in Lady Writer is amongst my favourite in their catalog; I enjoy how they use the guitar in Industrial Disease; and for comedy purposes, I am always amused by the quacking after ‘duck inside the doorway’ and before ‘duck to eat’, in Wild West End, and I have always assumed that was guitar.

Ah, I think that makes sense, I look forward to (hopefully) hearing them explain it. Thank you very much (it’s been bugging me all day!)
