Description

Here we go, 70 tele-snaps taken of the 4th Red Dwarf episode, "Waiting for God".

Episode plot, from Wikipedia:

Lister lied about passing the chef's exam. But there are more important things to worry about as Holly tracks an Unidentified Object and brings it aboard. Rimmer believes it to be a stasis capsule carrying a dormant member of an alien race. He even invents a name for this race, "the Quagaars", and convinces himself that they can give him a new body. After a closer inspection, Lister discovers that the capsule is actually nothing more than a jettisoned Red Dwarf garbage pod. The pod's lettering was partially obscured by space dust. When he asks Holly why he didn't tell Rimmer what the pod really was, Holly replies "Well, it's a laugh, innit?" Lister decides not to tell him either.

Lister learns more about the Cat people's god, "Cloister the Stupid" who was "frozen in time" to save the Cat race, and informs the openly skeptical Cat that he is their God, only to subsequently become depressed when he learns that the entire Cat race destroyed itself in holy wars over minor details of 'Fuchal'- the Cat heaven, really based on Lister's plans to open a hot dog and doughnut shop on Fiji-, and that they lived their lives according to five sacred laws of which Lister himself has broken four. Later, the Cat, who is known to go "investigating", goes off on one of his excursions, and Lister follows him, deep into the cargo hold. There Lister discovers an old blind cat priest, the only one of their race left other than Cat, who is dying and proclaims that he has lost his faith, feeling that he has wasted his life following Cloister. The priest takes his hat off, asking Cat to burn it. In his final moments, Lister shows up and convinces the priest that he has led an admirable life and has served Cloister well, and as such will reach 'Fuchal'. Lister takes the hat back from Cat and puts it back on the priest's head. Convinced by this "miracle", the Cat Priest joyously exclaims that this is the happiest day of his life and promptly dies.

Back in the observation room, the quarantine period for the pod is over. Lister opens the pod and pulls out a decaying chicken carcass, which Rimmer proclaims to be the preserved remains of a Quagaar warrior who must have looked "something like a roast chicken". He then begins to look doubtful; the credits roll–then twice in quick succession pause for a moment as Rimmer shouts "It's a garbage pod!" and then "It's a smegging garbage pod!"
