Today, we're Show & Telling "El Sid." To play along, just present an object from or inspired by the episode...
SYNTHIA: I brought a copy of "Narcotica," the comic book by Jerry O'Connell that opens on the airplane-runway slide cut from the end of this ep.
BLINKER: Cool. [flips through comic] Hey, Michelle STILL isn't with them! Did she disintegrate in the vortex or something???
SYNTHIA: I also brought this copy of the original script, so you can see for yourself that "Michele" was to be spelled with ONE 'L.'
BLINKER: Eep!
TEMPORALFLUX: By continuing to use the two 'L's, you're insulting the writer's intentions. Why, you may as well be slapping him in the face!
SOUTHERNSLIDER: He deserves it!!!
BRAND_S: Screw it. She stays Leslie to me.
BLINKER: Anyway, right here I've got one of the 'buddy bracelet' props used on the prison world.
SYNTHIA: Hey, didn't you think it odd that the bracelet KNEW when Sid was robbing the bank machine?
BLINKER: Well, maybe the violated ATM emitted a signal that activated all nearby bracelets.
SYNTHIA: So how come the guy he was holding at gunpoint didn't light up too?
BLINKER: Ehh... maybe it was monitoring their vital signs, and only saw indicators of rage and violence in Sid. Kinda like a lie detector... or those truth collars from 'In Dino Veritas'!
SYNTHIA: So how come all it can do is signal the custodians to chase him around the city trying to shoot him, instead of... oh... electrocuting the guy via remote command?
BLINKER: Uhh...
SYNTHIA: And why would LJ's bracelet only light up if he's "seen" driving with Quinn? Who has to see him, and how do they report it? And why make bracelets that could so easily be hidden under someone's sleeve? Could there BE a more poorly designed system?????
BLINKER: Two words: the Academy Awards.
SYNTHIA: You win.
- Blinker 7:-P

As owner of Wal-Mart, I now have become Lord and Master of the Universe! If you've ever bought a Wal-Mart product, your soul is mine, loser!!! I...Oh, wait. Blinker can't legally give me Wal-Mart, can he? Dang!
Anyway, now that I'm poor, all that I can bring you is what is potentially the stupidest pre-Season Three line: "My buddy's out there," said by Quinn. Perhaps it's not the line itself but the fact that a. JOC's delivery makes the speech at the end of "The Good, the Bad and the Wealthy" seem carefree and unpretentious, b. The line itself isn't in response to any other character's dialogue and therefore is non sequitir *and* idiotic and c. It brings to mind those insipid "My Buddy" dolls from the 80s, and the atrocious commercials that were irrevocably attached to it. I can still remember its idiotic refrain ("My Buddy, My Buddy, Wherever I go, HE GOES!!, My Buddy, My Buddy, My Buddy and Me!"). This was actually David Peckinpah's first foray into the field of writing.
And let's not even start on "Kid Sister".

I got a gold star! Okay, so I didn't get mine in first today, but hey, still! Poing!In honor of the title, I brought in some little seeds that grow cons. Plant them in a dark and murky place and occassionally glance at them out of the corner of your eye fearfully, and they should ripen nicely into thugs.
Hmmm...

In honor of the time honored 'Sliders' tradition, I've found the other missing slider Michele. :-) Yeah she was working at the community pool as a lifeguard. She told me that she was trying to make a vortex in the pool to go back home. Poor girl. She shouldn't have gone with the sliders in the first place. Now she's stuck on a world where all the teenagers drive golf carts into the swimming pool for fun. That's the third one this week that she had to report to maintenance.
dellyone: Hmm... anyone want some free beer. I don't drink. There's a keg on that house over there. The ladder's out back.A rush of people stampede the house screaming for free beer. dellyone watched with amusement at the people pushing each other out of the way.
dellyone: Almost as amusing as watching WWF. Now all we need are some tables. Wonder if I can find the Dudleys, Hardys and Edge and Christian.;-)
dellyone went in search of tables. There were enough people falling off the top of the house to make it her while.

DMD: I brought Jamie Dantzscher rom the US Women's Olympic gymnastics team. I'd just like to put her up in an apartment somewhere and pay for it.BLINKER: Dude, you have to bring something related to 'El Sid.'
DMD: <embarassed> Oh, oops. Well I guess then I'll bring the beginning of the end, which is what this episode marks. It's the first place where we see the Sliders at each others throats for no apparent reason. Something the FOX execs thought would generate better ratings.
DMD: There, now can I bring Ms. Dantzscher?
BLINKER: NO!
I
