- Quotes
Cat: [the trio are conversing about Kryten having a mid-life crisis] What even is a mid-life crisis? I don't think us cats ever get them.
Rimmer: It's usually a point where people who are halfway through life are forced to confront their own mortality.
Lister: Put it this way: Have you felt "I've wasted my life"?
Cat: You? Sure. Every single day.
Lister: No, have you ever felt you've wasted your life?
Cat: No!
Lister: Have you ever felt "There's such much more I could've been?"
Cat: No!
Lister: Have you ever felt "If I went back in time and I had my time again, I'd..." forget it.
Lister realises that Kryten could do with meeting up with another mechanoid and arranges to meet up with Butler who turns out to be a polymath and skilled at everything bringing even more despair to Kryten.
Dominic Coleman has fun with Butler (he reminded me a lot of the first actor who played Kryten when he was first introduced.) So good is Butler that Rimmer wants him as part of the Red Dwarf crew.
A decent episode with some laughs mainly by Cat and with some sci fi added at the end as the crew encounter the actual universe thanks to the modifications made by Butler.
