SUMMARY

Kryten and Rimmer are stranded on a remote moon when they crash land while moon-hopping. Kryten is rescued and returns with the others to search for Rimmer and they make a horrifying discovery - the planetoid is a psi-moon and is being reshaped by Rimmer's twisted psyche. "Expect sickness!"

CAPSULE REVIEW

Lots of good moments that don't quite hold together as well as they might. The bits with Kryten talking to his "flight recorder", Lister reacting to what he thinks is a tarantula on his leg and the graveyard of Rimmer's better qualities are the best moments, though overall, it doesn't quite make the grade. Nothing terrible, just not that great.
