How comes the audience in the pub in Backwards could understand what Rimmer was saying?

They didn't and that's why they found it so funny.

One of many reasons I have always not liked Backwards. How come Kryten can easily eat a boiled egg forwards, but the cat can't do a poo?

The Cat did a poo backwards didn't he?
Anyway, how about the waitress tipping the box of rubbish upside down on to the table in the cafe? In the backwards reality that means the rubbish was sucked up into it...
Anyway, Backwards gives you migraines. Best to not think about it too much.

The light bee has been upgraded since we last saw it. It too can now be made of soft light.

In Back in the Red when Kryten and Kochanski are talking about the Nanobots and how all their actions have been a ‘benefit’ Kryten says they took them back to Red Dwarf where they reebooted Holly to which Kochanski replied along the lines of ‘then they took you to the temporal rip where you met me’ causing Kryten to leave in a huff.
But I mean they met Kochanski well before they rebooted Holly, over 18 months in fact so WHATUPWIDDAT?

Series VIII was just shit. Explained. I still like series VIII. I know it's not a popular opinion. I love that they turned the show's format on its head for a series. Some of the jokes were terrible, but that's been the case in Red Dwarf ever since. I'm there for the bits I like. On a recent rewatch I've found I was looking forward to getting through series VII to get to some of my favourite bits from series VIII.

How comes when Lister left that tap running what took Holly offline, Holly didn’t do any sort of ‘emergency, there’s an emergency going on, will someone turn that tap off?’ Type thing?

Given how badly Holly's cognitive abilities slid downhill after series II, he/she probably didn't notice it. It always bothered me how Holly went from still pretty useful and smart in Norman's era, but became a more one dimensional, ridiculously stupid character in Hattie's.

Those fellas on the Holloship right, I mean what was that? How did it come about?
Where did all these genius dead people come from? What was the mission?

Why was the deaf girl in Promised Land not deaf anymore after meeting Lister? I mean he’s not actually god. Or is he? To the cat people maybe he is.

To the cat people maybe he is. wasn’t it explained that she wasn’t actually deaf or some shit? I can’t remember and don’t feel like really watching it again, probably ever tbh. As an actual deaf person, I’m sure I’m supposed to be offended by whatever it was anyway. Or someone was offended on my behalf.

She wasn't deaf, she was just mute, which was explained as being "psychosomatic". She believed in Lister so much that she started to "speak again" when she met him, which implies she probably could speak before, but lost the ability. However, this is probably bullshit irl, but I think Doug just needed something interesting to give reasons for having this character.

When I saw the trailer I was happy that they had a character who just happened to be deaf/use sign language, I mean why not? I was quite disappointed that it was used as a cheap plot point to ‘heal’ her.
