Fantastic picture! That is possibly my favourite ever Red Dwarf episode!

"I'd like to let you out, but the King of the Potato People won't let me."
"Can we speak to him?"
"Do you have a Magic Carpet?"
"Uh...yeah! A four-seater!"
"So you're telling me you want to fly on a Four Seater Magic Carpet to talk to the King of the Potato People, to beg for your freedom? And you expect me to believe you're sane?"

DOH! Forgot to attach it!

Right, I've been meaning to ask this for a while now: Who's mr. Flibble and why is he so very cross?

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

I presuming you know the basics of Red Dwarf...um, how to explain this?

Right, Rimmer (the hologram) catches a virus via radio waves from another hologram, who tries to kill the rest of the group. Rimmer is onboard Red Dwarf at the time, with the rest of the group out exploring a crashed vessel.

When they try to return to Red Dwarf, he places them in quarantine (hence the name of the episode) and appears on the video screen dressed in army boots and a gingham...dress. After tormenting them with various mad speeches, they escape quarantine, at which point Rimmer's Telepathy kicks in and he starts stalking them through RD attempting to kill them in a variety of fun ways.

The quote in question (huzzah! he's thinking! at last!) comes at some point towards the end, with Rimmer wandering down a corridor with a dreamy look on his face. Mr Flibble is the hand puppet he keeps talking to.

The other great quote from this episode is this:

"What shall we do with them, Mr Flibble?"
*Mr Flibble whispers in Rimmers ear*
"We can't do THAT. Who would clear up the mess?"

Speaking of which, I just had to create an avatar myself. It's pretty cool, I like it!

Edit: It's even cooler in Internet Explorer (although my browser of choice is currently Mozilla Firebird).

PSi, that is a pretty cool avatar!

Even though I cant really figure out what the "normal" picture is

Or, like me, he saw images like these elsewhere. Of course, where I saw this used at, it was at a non-grandmother-compatible location. Very cool effect, making pictures like that.

Further, when Rimmer gets his psychic powers, he manifested them through his hand puppet, Mr. Flibble, as "hex rays" that he blasted the rest of the crew with.

I put up this avatar in a fit vieled mockery when a long time regular of these boards proceeded to "blast" me with their "sock puppet" ID. (Darkness knows who...)

Plus I love Red Dwarf.

the clue was the "if you use IE"
