BACK ON FORM!!!
Lister as we know from previous seasons is by some time traveling craziness is his own father. And this episodes showed us that every year Lister gets completely and utterly snockered to the point where he can't remember his drunken antics and writes himself a fathers day card, which he gives to Kryten for safekeeping and the droid delivers it on fathers day every to him. Lister always gets surprises at the contents then.
Rimmer and Kryten meanwhile are trying to get the new computer running and they install a blond gothic girl with predictive capabilities. The computer was rather amusing in that she calculated a ton of things and thereby they didn't need to have conversations. But alas she turned sinster towards the end.
There was some funny lines:
Kryten: Thank goodness for that derelict, sir. I am just so excited at the process of having another computer. We so miss Holly.
Rimmer: It's true. We just don't get the same quality of cock-up these days, do we?
Rimmer: Can you hear that?
Lister: What?
Rimmer: That! Can't you hear it? It's been driving me crazy! All over the ship, wherever I go, there's this really annoying, whiny sound!
Lister: Yeah, it's you. Stop talking at once.
Rimmer: It's still there.
Lister: You're still talking!
Also this ep had quite a good gag between Kryten, the Cat and a bunch of food machines around Chinese whispers - each machine of course hearing a different thing.
Lister also after getting really blind drunk decided he needed to discipline himself lol more and be a better father. Queue a few video messages from drunk Lister to sober Lister. Craig Charles nailed it big time!
Drunk Lister insisted that Sober/Son Lister enlist and do something with his life and also get his filling fixed in the medi bay. Lister went to start that process and after finding out he would get a free games package got the ship to open a fill for Dave Lister junior.
However he didn't enlist on a programme to better himself and Drunk Lister hilariously anticipated this and in a cruel move to force him while drunk quit the space core programme.
The new computer then got in on that and informs Lister he will lose his oxygen allowance. Lister ends up being jettisoned into space. The new computer turns even more loopy and attempts to kill them all by flying the ship into a sun but Lister makes it back in time and uses her kooky logic against her. Ironically his record for Dave Lister Juinor saves the day!
