In the episode it stated it takes 18 months for Red Dwarf to travel from Jupiter to Earth and vice versa. How is that possible when the very next episode established that Red Dwarf can travel at the speed of light? It should have taken less than an hour.

Given that Red Dwarf has lasted as long as it has without the overwhelmingly majority of its crew what was even the point of the crew in the first place?

In the early episode Rimmer needed to kept inside a holo cage to be outside Red Dwarf. Yet laster he is able to go over to Kryten’s crashed ship and even travel back in time with zero issue.

Later in show the concept of light bee is introduced that allows Rimmer to travel around because a small floating projector inside materializes him. But that raises the question since we see him travel outside Red Dwarf like in Backwards with it what’s preventing Red Dwarf from creating more holograms than? Earlier it was stated because Red Dwarf can only power one but is Red Dwarf powering him all the way inside this literal Backwards Earth?

In Body Swap Rimmers gets obsessed with possessing Listers body so he can eat and feel with it but earlier seasons clearly shows that Rimmer eat a holo sandwich and take a “fake” shower so it really shouldn’t be an issue for him.

How is Red Dwarf able to work without its crew AND Holly in the later seasons?

All the countless continuity errors: Lister losing his appendix twice. Lister claiming to be an orphan while mentioning having parents earlier (you sound like my mom). The retconned relationship between Lister and Kochanski. Rimmer losing his virginity in two different ways etc.

How can Kryten and Rimmer be affected by the despair squid ink. They are not organic. It should have no effect on them and how can they all have the same hallucination?

There are so many questions about the map that makes no sense even if we disregarded The Last Jedi:

Where did it come from?

Why was it separated in two pieces?

Why did R2 have the rest?

Why didn’t R2 share the rest of the map with the Resistance before he went into his droid coma?

Why did R2 awake and reveal the rest of the map the moment that he did? Why didn’t he do it the moment the Resistance looked at the other half of the map before they planned their attack on SKB?

How did Lor San Tekka(I.e Max von Sydom’s character at the start) obtain the first half?

Why were everyone so obsessed with the entire map when all they would need are the end coordinates for Luke’s location?

Also why was Tekka so certain the map would lead to Luke when it was incomplete? Didn’t he know his map was incomplete? Did he know R2 had the rest? If so how and why didn’t he tell Poe or Leia when the arranged the meeting between him and Poe?

In fact how was the meeting with Tekka and Poe even arranged?

Tekka on Jakku communicating with the Resistance by hologram projection: “I have a map to Luke’s location. Meet me up on this basically junk desert planet and I will give it to you”.

General Leia:” Why? If you have map to Luke then you would presumably have the coordinates for his end location. So can just tell me what is now and I will send someone to Luke right now. Unless your map are incomplete and the rest of the map are with me and you know it which would raise the question why you just wouldn’t tell me about it know or how you would know that?”
