[edit] Synopsis
Red Dwarf is completely lost. The crew enters a region of space populated by unreality pockets, a security measure around a top-secret Space Corps test ship. Kryten places the crew in Deep Sleep and conducts his own looting mission and Starbug escapes with a time-drive. They are subsequently contacted by another Starbug, populated by their future selves, who explain that their own time-drive is malfunctioning and request to be allowed to copy parts from the present-day time-drive. Lister refuses after seeing what the future crew has become, and they launch an attack on Starbug: they would rather die than be denied their self-indulgent lifestyle. Rimmer shows uncharacteristic bravery by suggesting they fight, stating "Better dead than smeg." The episode ends with Lister, Cat, and Kryten all dying from explosions in the cockpit and Rimmer blowing up the time-drive. The final scene is of Starbug exploding and the promise "to be continued."
