* IronicEpisodeTitle: The very first episode was called "The End". Borderline because the episode actually did deal with a massive accident that wiped out almost the entire crew, setting up the series for AfterTheEnd. (And with that situation set up, the episode ended with a caption in the same font, saying "The Beginning".)

** Later on, in “Siliconia”, the boys meet a group of mechanoids who believe in freeing their kind from serving humans... yet they use earlier model mechs as slaves to power the engine room.
They also turn Rimmer into a mechanoid and put him to work despite him being a ''hologram'', and therefore as much an artificial being as they are.

* TheEndingChangesEverything: In "Give & Take", Lister is kidnapped by an insane medical droid, Asclepius. When Rimmer and Kryten rescue him they accidentally destroy a specimen jar containing two kidneys, then discover that Lister is missing his kidneys, and presume the kidneys they destroyed were Lister's, which had been removed by Asclepius. However, the plot is resolved when [[ItMakesSenseInContext they travel back in time to remove the kidneys from a past version of Lister and implant them in the present-day Lister]], meaning that his kidneys had already been removed before he even met Asclepius - the implication being that the droid was actually perfectly sane, and was trying to give Lister a life-saving operation, and if Rimmer and Kryten had not waded in the events of the episode would never have happened.
