I've seen posts asking why the Dwarfers don't just, y'know, take the Chronos device and use it to go back in time to Earth. Problem solved. Simples.
Well firstly, if we're being pedantic, the Chronos device is merely an amplifier not a time travel device. So there's that....
BUT. It was only when I started watching the opening of 'Tikka to Ride' that it kinda hit me why, EVEN IF THEY DID HAVE A TIME TRAVEL DEVICE, they wouldn't leap at that.
Rimmer: "We have to avoid all forms of time travel. It's the only way of breaking our destiny lines and ending up like our future selves."
Any other time manipulation they've experienced has ended up badly.
"Tikka to Ride" - they interfere and change the course of human history, having to rectify it The Time Wand - Pete. Enough said "Lemons" - unintentional time travel but yet again they inadvertently get involved and need to rectify the status quo. Even if it is for an individual.
