The music that accompanies Ace's funeral is absolutely staggeringly beautiful - almost tear-inducing on its own. I don't know if it has a proper name, but I call it "Ace's Elegy"

Lister's face at 12:30 is so adorable! It's like he's just so proud of Rimmer becoming Ace, and he knows that Rimmer will do great.

First off I wanna say Dena, I love these. I rewatch these vlogs every so often. My main reason for commenting is to make a case for Rimmers character development. From season one and into this episode there’s been very subtle hints of his character development. I talked about this to another person but I don’t think he would’ve learned the Space Corp Directive without Kryten harping on him. While he does enjoy rules and regulations thanks to this he was actually closer to being an officer than ever before. Heck in season six’s finale he picked up a Bazookoid and fired it. He wouldn’t have done that in the earlier seasons. Even if it doesn’t benefit him he still tries to help out every once in a while. It’s rather clear that this Rimmer was slowly becoming a better person. I know people like to harp on the later seasons for him going back to the way he was but even then he’s jumped over major hurdles that early Rimmer wouldn’t even attempt. Rimmer is my favorite.

Rimmer is my favourite character so after he leaves, even though not for that long, I kinda struggle with the rest of this season. This is definitely one of my favourite stories

I think maybe it's how I got introduced to RD, but Series 7 is one of my favorites. I came into the fandom in 1996, just when the 7th series was starting to air on PBS in the states, and watched it and series 1 before getting the books. The more dramatic, SF tone of the books, the sense of loneliness in space, of fighting off despair and depression of being the last human portrayed in series 1 and 2 (and 7) is still my favorite aspect of the show. I think series 7 showed that you could play the premise straight, instead of just for gags, and it still works. And for me, it did.

Season 7 had its low points after this, but the shot of the Ace Rimmer graveyard was probably the greatest single image in the show's entire run.

This episode just gets me in the feels. This was a truly touching way to send Rimmer on his way

Huh, so this was a farewell episode, and not an attempt at making a backdoor pilot for a sort of Dr. Who spoof starring Rimmer as Ace. Fantastic retrospective, by the way.

Yeah, I gotta say, I'm not a huge fan of all of Season 7, but when it wants to, man can it hit you in the feels.

If it puts your mind at ease about Rimmer’s fate, there was a deleted scene in which the new Ace Rimmer reveals his origins to Lister. In his dimension the divergent point was fairly recent, from Lister's viewpoint. He stole the Time Drive on the Gemini 12 and left his crew for dead. He wound up in Napoleonic times, hiding as a woman in a dress and working in a florists to avoid conscription. The prior Ace approached him to pass on the flame. He uses it as an example of how they "all start out as caterpillars and end up butterflies". So it’s plausible this Rimmer became as awesome as his predecessors.

This is one of those episodes, like the heart warming ones from Futurama. It's silly, but it hits you with emotions unexpectedly. When they gave "Rimmer" a hero's burial in space, then when they saw all of the other Aces who have died, that is when the emotions kick in. But because it is Red Dwarf, there has to be the funny bit with the ejector seat to bring it back to the absurd. Great comedy show! The show Barney Miller was a well written show too. It had real emotional weight to their episodes mixed with unexpected comedy.

I love the opening to this episode because of how bizarre and over-the-top it is. Though I do like the Rimmer Song later on in Blue, which do you prefer Dena?

I wonder if the creators will ever explain it. On the other hand there was an interview were they explained that Rimmer ages in the latter season but not when he was in Rimmerworld because since he was created to keep Lister sane, it would be very depressing for Lister if he never aged, so he's aging at the same rate Lister does.

Probably something to be said for how much Lister does to get Rimmer to realize his potential here.

Ace: kind funny altogether great guy but a bit vain Rimmer: a pain. What a guy.

I had a few problems with this, aside from the fact that it took Rimmer off the show. The biggest problem I had is that it isn't revealed until about halfway through that Ace Rimmer is not the same Ace they met before and that he is a hard-light hologram. Yet earlier, the other three ask him how he has been doing and he explains it to them, and doesn't seem to drop any hints. Secondly, only Lister knew about this, and Kryten and Cat didn't. I did, however, like how they sent him off, because for all intents and purposes, even though they had their differences, Rimmer can be considered a good friend of theirs. Everyone has their own personalities. Another big problem I had with this is through most of the series, Rimmer wanted to make more of himself. Even in Dimension Jump, when he first meets Ace, he says that Ace is living proof of what he could have accomplished. I would think that if Ace wanted Rimmer to take over for him, Rimmer would be overjoyed for the simple fact that this would be his only chance of making a name for himself and feeling that his parents would be proud of him, instead of Rimmer acting like a complete git and somewhat of a sooky baby. Also, it isn't stated in your review that when Rimmer was fighting the knight, he was holding the sword backwards. Also, when Lister told Cat and Kryten that the knight escaped from the AR machine, nobody asks him how the knight was able to do that. I have to state that even though it is a good "send-off" episode for Rimmer, I really give a marginal non-recommendation to it based on the above-mentioned problems.

So I’ve just thought of a pretty big plot hole. Ace is supposed to be a hard light hologram, which were established in Legion to be invulnerable but a gun bullet is able to penetrate it and hit his light Bee but again in Legion, only Rimmer himself was able to get to the Bee.

Rimmer's character development is always edging slightly more towards outright heroism, so this was a fitting and pretty touching send off for him. A few things about it bothered me, though. Mainly the idea that all Rimmers are destined to become Ace. It's pretty much the opposite of Dimension Jump, where small changes in personal experience can make huge, irreconcilable differences to how you turn out. I don't know, maybe I just don't like where characters are pushed to do things against their nature with "You have to do this... because DESTINY". It also seemed really out of character for Lister to lie about Rimmer's death. Even if Kryten and Cat would theoretically be more saddened by Ace's death than Rimmer's, it's grossly manipulative and unethical to lie about this, especially when he does it for literally no reason. As far as I know they never found out the truth. Bizarre. (Though it's heavily implied the new series Rimmer is the original, so maybe they had that extremely scarring and difficult conversation off-screen?) But wait, can holograms even properly die? Just restore them onto a new light bee from a backup! ... there are still backups, right?
