* CantTakeAnythingWithYou: As proven with the soap.

to:

* CantTakeAnythingWithYou: As proven with when the soap.Dwarfers try to take some soap from the past back through the stasis leak. The soap is reduced to powder.



* ForWantOfANail: Neither Rimmer nor Lister considers that remaining in the past or altering it would prevent the failure of the drive plate--whether Lister might have spotted the error had he still been on duty, or that Rimmer's stasis would have resulted in a ''competent'' technician being put on the job.



* IHatePastMe: Future Lister is hostile and dismissive toward his present self.



* MoralMyopia: Past Rimmer is dismayed that Past Lister's punishment for feeding him hallucinogenic mushrooms is just two weeks spent painting the ship, and claims that he should be imprisoned for years instead. But when he is given eight weeks of the same punishment for both insulting and ''assaulting'' the Captain, he acts like he doesn't deserve such a sentence.



* NoseShove: Past Rimmer is said to have shoved a pencil up Captain Hollister's nose. He defends this action by claiming he used the end with the eraser on it.



* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Captain Hollister. He gives Lister just two weeks on Paint Detail for feeding Rimmer hallucinogenic mushrooms. He also assigns P.D. to Rimmer for insulting and assaulting him, and even decides to walk back on it (before Rimmer attacks him again).



* ShoutOut: The chrome robot employees at the hotel are referenced from the chrome robot police officers in ''Film/THX1138''.

** Past Rimmer claims that he thought a photo of Captain Hollister's wife was a publicity shot from ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968''.

* StatingTheObvious: Rimmer tells his past self that he'll be dead in three million years' time.

* TheFuture: This episode is the first time we're told what year Lister and Rimmer lived in. A clock in the past says "2 March 2077". This gets retconned to centuries later in later seasons due to the writers realizing that a ColonizedSolarSystem was probata lot further off.

* WineIsClassy: Discussed when Lister complains about "total smegheads" who always drink wine. "It's never beer, is it? It's always wine. 'What do you want on your cornflakes, darling?' Oh, I'll have some WINE, please!"

* {{Technobabble}}: {{Parodied}}. The Cat asks "What is it?" when confronted with a doorway into the past. Rimmer and Lister both blurt out technobabble of varying thicknesses before The Cat simply replies, "Oh! A Magic Door! Why didn't you say so?"
* TeenieWeenie: Heavily implied when the Cat runs into a naked man in the shower and looks down. He tries to compliment him.

to:

* TimeyWimeyBall: Future Lister tries to invoke a StableTimeLoop so he can later go back and marry Kochanski but advises his past self not watch ''Run for Your Wife''. Rimmer ''does'' manage to set up a bootstrap paradox by naming the stasis leak after it is called that by his future self, who heard it in the past from his future self, etc...
