Stasis Leak

Holly detects a stasis leak on Level 16. Stepping through the leak transports the gang back to three weeks before the accident that wiped out the crew. Lister is determined to solve the puzzle of a picture he found of himself and Kochanski getting married in her quarters, while Rimmer is more concerned with ensuring he goes into stasis and survives the accident. Lister initially has the same idea for Kochanksi, but there is only room for one in the remaining stasis booth... Chaos ensues as several alter egos of the characters from different timelines end up back on Red Dwarf.


Trivia
  • The "Crowne Plaza Midland Holiday Inn", in Manchester, was used as "The Ganymede Holiday Inn". Due to time and budget constraints, the Red Dwarf crew were forced to film around genuine visitors that were booking into the hotel.
  • This episode is the only one that fades out in a blurred vision, as if it were all a dream of Rimmer's. Perhaps the whole thing was meant to be a dream sequence.
  • In series 2 there is a big inflatable Banana beside Rimmer and Lister's sleeping quarters door so in the episode 'Stasis Leak' they go back before the crew there killed in that episode Rimmer walks into there sleeping quarters and the Banana is there but the Banana should be there after the crew is killed.
  • The consistency from the future episodes is lost in this one when we notice that in the future episodes, some of the characters have changed.
  • Older Lister tells Younger Lister that he will go through a cosmic storm and then a Parallel Universe, and rematerialize on Earth in 1989. Only one of these things happened, the Parallel Universe. Earth in 1989 could have referred to the "Backwards" episode, however the year in that episode was 1993.
  • The tune playing in the Ganymede Holiday Inn is 'Tongue Tied' from later episode 'Parallel Universe'
