SYNTHIA: Ahhh, yes. Here I've got Kenneth Q. Bledsoe's classic text, "Discovering Art: Theory, Practice and History."
BLINKER: Huh?
SYNTHIA: Hey, Maggie's costume designer alone applied every lesson it's got! Symmetry, negative space, movement, exaggeration of critical features, drawing attention to the centre of interest...
BLINKER: Yeah, he sure put the "Peck" into "Peckasso." [thinks for a split second] Not to mention the --
SYNTHIA [hastily]: So! What did you bring?
BLINKER: Um... uh... [eyes dart around] oh.
SYNTHIA: You forgot, didn't you.

BT is best forgotten. Quickly!!!What was this episode about?
Why did it suck so much?
What the >:-# did anything in this ep have to do with Sliders???
How great is it that HK did a much superior version of this idea?
Why do they eat brains? Because it stops the PAINS!!!
Ahhhhhhh. One benefit of having a 15 minute memory is that you can quickly put horrid eps like this in your rear view mirror forever!!! :-P

The Fressssssh Maker! :-DAhhh...what to bring. I guess I'll bring the cross Quinn was tied to at the start of the episode. In a vocal showing of the series' new direction, Quinn summed up the attitudes to be followed. If it's an interesting story, they "[didn't] want to talk about it".
If only they had applied marketing strategy back then with product placement. Can't you just see Maggie pole vaulting over a few zombies and then popping some mints from the roll in her mouth as she smiled to some invisible camera? Actually...I'm surprised that *wasn't* in there now that I think about it.

bring my Methadone Memory
Date: 04/05/2002
From: ShatnerTurbo2000
meth·a·done n.
A potent synthetic narcotic drug, C21H27NO, that is less addictive than morphine or heroin and is used as a substitute for these drugs in addiction treatment programs. It may also be used for chronic pain management.And after viewing the carnage Peckinballs created post-Exodus, chronic pain management is EXACTLY what Sliders fans needed.

P.S. Yeah, allright, this is the one episode I've NEVER seen. So what else would I bring?

Klingon pain sticks fun than watch this travesty again.Okay, I confiscated the flashlights that were stolen from The X-Files set. You know every X-Files episode where there is a majority of sunlight sucks big time.

I bring the giant bboard advertising the supposed miracle weight loss drug. And for an added bonus, I also brought along a sample of the T-Vir... er... medicine. C'Mon, it's possible Peck probably ripped off Resident Evil.

Awww...
isn't Blinky cute?

From: Robin14334
BT is NOT cute.A little younger than I expected, though. You must be very bright for your age. :-)
As for my show & tell item... I bring my blissful ignorance. This is one of the two eps I've never seen. I think that's probably for the best....

Maybe that will stop my craving for human flesh.I brought some of those "illegal" caffiene pills. Thankfully, they're an appetite suppressant and will allow me a few moments of clarity before I'm compelled to eat a toll booth clerk.
It's been a while since I've watched this one, and while I'll swallow (oh, pun intended!) that a diet pill could cause people to turn into emaciated zombies, I'm still unclear on why they'd turn to cannabalism. Wouldn't really hungry dieters prefer Twinkies or Ho-Hos?
I maintain an argument could be made that this is the best overall episode of the post-apocalyptic...I mean Exodus...episodes. At the very least it fits conceptually. The Wade and Remmy scenes are actually pretty good and they include one of the best lines of the series, when Remmy takes a cheap shot at Wade's pale ghostly appearance. It almost felt ad-libbed by Cleavant.
And yes, MSR, I miss those capping sessions too.

BT never cries.*****
They're for poor Wade, who in this episode was turned into a whiny, sniveling crybaby. I understand her grieving for Arturo and being threatened by Maggie's presence in the group but they went way overboard with it. It's hard to believe this is the same Wade we saw in episodes like "Prince of Wails", "The Weaker Sex", "Luck of the Draw", "Obsession" and "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome", to name a few.
I
bring a special guest for this one...

From: Joey_Starr
and no it's not BT!!!
My special guest is the best person to have been the "Patient Zero" for this experiment gone wrong. That would be the lovely Suzanne Sommers! I think the irony of her success in the health industry when she was using Liposuction behind the scenes, would have made her a natural.Joey Starr
For a bad ep, it was pretty good.

Anyhow, I brought something that should be in every B-Movie fan's library, the complete Roger Corman. Now, you too, can experience your painful doom, in a variety of different flavors.. I mean.. movies. Specials like, 'Teenage Caveman' 'High School Big Shot' 'Little Shop Of Horrors' 'Machine Gun Kelly' 'The Wasp Woman' and a recent favorite.. 'Black Scorpion'. What does this all mean, well, it's all in referance to Wade's mention OF Roger Corman (or Maggie's) where she says it's like a bad Roger Corman movie, and by that she meant, yes this episode was a long boring mess which should be featured on MST3K.And to trump Blinker I brought this little ray of sunshine and goodness: http://www.greenghoulie.com/humor/images/Picture2.jpg
And that suit was never in style. So, you can't prove that I am actually a space monkey from the future. If you can, darn it, you've found me.

I never said BT was faking, just that it's problem was psychological, not physical.I don't know why SL4ever decided to kick things off with a Memento reference, but I'm more than willing to go along with it! (By the way, sorry for the severe belatedness of this post, but I was in Florida on the 4th of April.)
In honor of "Memento" (my favorite movie of 2001, except perhaps for LOTR), I bring you a collection of Maggie's body tattoos (from the fact that she too has a short attention span).

FACT 1: LOOKS LIKE ROGER DALTREY, FACT 2: NO WAIT, LOOKS LIKE NEIL DIRKSEN, FACT 3: NO, NOW HE'S SOME KIND OF HALF BEASTMAN, FACT 4: SCREW IT, JUST LOOK FOR SOMEBODY WITH A BAD BRITISH ACCENT
