Why this must be read:
Of course, with this cross-over you expect the humor, and some of the lines in this piece are very amusing, but what's best, is the unexpected feeling that the story contains. Like all the best Who stories, there is something deeper in amongst the humor and that's what moved me the most with this story.
Lister and the Doctor were riding in the lift to get to the bottom of the ship where Holly’s main circuitry resided. Fortunately they didn’t have to sit through the in-car safety video because Cat had shot the screen with a bazookoid after the fiftieth time of watching.
“This is a really big ship. Must get lonely sometimes.” The Doctor commented.
“Sometimes. The others don’t really get why I want to go home. Cat and Kryters are great, but they’ve never seen Earth and Rimmer…well Rimmer’s Rimmer. I like to go to the empty parts of the ship sometimes. Just to get away from them for a while. It gets a bit too much some days. Knowing that I’m the last human, you know?” Lister’s question had been rhetorical, but to his surprise the Doctor answered,
“Yeah, I know.” The Doctor looked immensely sad as he said this and Lister looked at him curiously. “I’m the last one left of my people too.”
“Smeg, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean…”
“No, that’s okay. I never thought I’d find someone who’d understand.” He smiled to himself, “So that’s what the old girl was up to.” He chuckled.
“Sorry?” Lister asked.
“Nothing.” The Doctor replied, visibly brightening, “Just musing on life’s little coincidences.”
