BLINKER: Exodus! Exodus... Exodus... you go first.
SYNTHIA: Okay, I've got a cesium-fountain atomic clock. It's the only timekeeping instrument fine enough to measure the length of Arturo and Maggie's screen time together.
BLINKER: Arturo really *was* underused in this episode, wasn't he? I mean, Quinn and Maggie have the adventure plot, Rembrandt has his little buddy Malcolm, Wade has the angst of choosing who lives and dies, and Arturo's got... nothing.
THIRD SEASON EXECUTIVE PRODUCER DAVID PECKINPAH: That's why we fired the guy! His character always did the most *useless* things. Like in last week's, all he did was get eaten by a freakin' WORM! What the hell was THAT, JRD?! You ahould be *ashamed*!
MISSINGSLIDERRYAN: [MSR "No Comment Necessary" Face #1]
SYNTHIA: Moving on...
BLINKER: I bring my horrible crushing guilt. Yes, people... it's all my fault.
SYNTHIA: Wha?
BLINKER [sighing]: The year: 1997. The episode: Exodus, Part I. There I was, really enjoying the half-hour "mini-slides" Quinn and Maggie had embarked on. It was like a whole new format for the show: five-minute "vignepisodes" with a half-sized cast. And I found myself idly wondering... wouldn't it be neat if Maggie became a permanent character? [buries face in hands] You see? It's all my fault!
SYNTHIA [eyes focused on ceiling fixture]: There, there...
BLINKER: Oh, sure, a moment *later* I realized that (a) Maggie had absolutely no motive to forgo joining the colony and take up sliding with a group of people she hated, and (b) if the writers had dispensed with cool Fifth Sliders like Ryan and Michele without a second thought, there's NO way someone like Maggie would be granted so much as a FIRST.
SYNTHIA [playing along for the heck of it]: But the damage wa...
BLINKER: Are you STILL on about that?! We're waiting to see what everyone else brought in! Come on people, let's hear it!

You heard me, BT!! >:-# it!!!!Show: I'm going to let someone else more heavens qualified to tackle the embarrassing "pulsar" issue. Instead, these are still photos of the lamest villains in the history of media. We have here a shot of the Langoliers, whose cheesy CGI and mindbogglingly inept rationale for existance make them anyone's top five. And here is a picture of Snidely Whiplash, dude, you gotta get over the tying to the railroad track thing! That is so LAME!! Oh, and here's a mugshot of Dracula's appearance on Buffy. He's the GOD of vampires! The biggest name in bloodsucking and he went out like Chumpy McPunk!! Roach infestations have given Buffy more trouble than Drac did! And finally, here's an 8 X 10 of the face changing brain, juice sucking, non convincing as military being, snippy little thang we call Rickman. He couldn't have been lamer if he'd broke out into a rendition of "People ... who suck brain juice from people ... are the HAPPIEST people!!!"
Tell: The best thing I can tell you about this ep is that watching it doesn't hurt as much if someone hits you in the head with a ball peen hammer every 15 seconds.
Now
shut up and TALK!!!!

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean you.
I meant Roger Daltrey and Neil Dickson. I brought them. And I'm not letting them go until they explain to me how an Englishman ends up in the U.S. military *and* why anyone would expect us to believe that they are, in fact, the same person.DMD

I bring some shocking evidence indeed...the lost *second* Sega Genesis controller that came with Jensen's system. Frustrated by continual death in the Starlight Zone of Sonice the Hedgehog, Jensen finally cracked and began modifying his controllers so he could get the better of the game.To most, this was the delusional obsession of a madman...but to Col. Angus Rickman, this was genius. Rickman was able to see past the misconceptions and realize that Jensen was indeed working on a way to travel the very dimensions! Of course...Rickman really didn't see anything at all. All of this was just an excuse to get Maggie transferred onto his base.
To everyone's shock, 4 individuals would arrive one day and confirm that Jensen was in the ballpark of Rickman's thin excuse. Of course, Jensen had no idea (as evidenced by the "blender switch/silly putty" combination on Sega controller #2)...but you would never see Jensen admitting he was wrong. He just nodded and smiled as these others completed the work he inadvertently started...

I'm going to get you, Quinn!!!!!!!!!!!!!Here's a little item I picked up a parallel world... the sword used to cut off Fitzcarin's head! <pulls out of trenchcoat katana space>
Blinker: Logan, this is for Slider's Exodus not Highlander's Star-Crossed!
Logan: They looked the same! Damn doubles. <runs out of room>
Logan: Here dammit. Jensen's wheelchair. He didn't need it anymore. <pushes it into Blinker who falls onto the seat and runs with it to the top of the stairs>
Blinker: As you do to to me... you do to all of us RPG players, Logan.
Logan: <pushes wheelchair over> Oh hell yeah, Missing Stoner Bennish!
Blinker: <yelling> I'm not Conrad "Where's my Bong?!?" Bennish!

If I recall correctly, he's got dual citizenship from both the US and Australia. He was born in New York then his family went to live in Australia hence his accent.Trinity

[steps out of car]Allow me to present... the vehicle driven by Dr. Jariabek! It's a custom-built model designed for no other purpose than to spectacularly burst into flames.
RECALL317: But... that's just an ordinary Ford Pinto!

Won't get fooled (by BT) again.******
Well, I brought the rest of "The Who". An hour of them performing their greatest hits plus Roger and Cleavant doing duets on "Cry Like A Man" and "Tears In My Fro" would have been much more entertaining than this drivel (although Part 1 is a masterpiece compared to Part 2).

my computer, which is under the evil thrall of BT for sure!!The worst part is I miss everybody else's replies. Maybe someday a computer that was not built by the Ancient Mayans and repackaged by Compaq will allow me to view them. Assuming Scifi hasn't deleted the posts by then. I'm fairly confident I'm not ripping off anybody else, though. Cause frankly nobody's as warped as me.
What I brought today is a very special, and very thin, document. When David Peckinpah found out from Tracy Torme that every TV show needed a Bible, he promptly made himself one, religiously copying every Book of the Bible onto blank pieces of paper. (Well, actually, he only made it through the titles of each of the books. The ones he could spell anyway.) How successful was he? Well, if you consider that the episodes "The Exodus", "Genesis" and "Revelations" were based on Peck's recollections of what happened in those Biblical books, I think you can see for yourself. Here are some other Biblical book ideas that were scrapped.
"Song of Solomon" (S4): A superintelligent female scientist named Dr. Solomon says she'll give the Sliders the key to Colin and Quinn's homeworld...that is, if Remmy will sing for her. What follows is thirty-five minutes of the raciest romantic ballads that non-network TV would have allowed (hey, Peck had highlighted this part of the Bible!). The Sliders fail in their attempt, however, when Maggie takes Dr. Solomon's ruling on the maternity of a baby a little too literally.
"Romans" (S3): The episode opens with Arturo explaining that the Germans never overran the Roman Empire here, then orders wienerschnitzel from Kurt Warner in New Brandenberg. There apparently was also a plot about a toga party, a guy named Bacchus and a vomitorium but nobody's ever gotten around to actually reading that far.
"Lamentations" (S5): Fans of a long-running SciFi series complain about its lack of direction for forty minutes. The Great DP scrapped it, saying "Who would believe that?"
Anyhoo, thanks for the GOLD STAR of MODESTY, Blinker! I'll just be over here...in a corner...admiring it... silently.

that is Deiselmickeydolenz`s answer.Roger Daltry is an actor and is pretending to be someone else. I thought America was multicultural (like Australia) Don`t be so stereotypical in your thinking.

From: Joey_Starr
and even BT didn't see this comming.1. Is my note from the doctor explaining why I couldn't make this one.
2. A brain for sliderseth to use the next time he replies to one of these things. How is it that you can look at 2 people's names right in front of you and still misspell them? Plus you call two non-Australians Australian(to even try and associate these two great actors with yourself is a bad laugh). Plus at least Crowe and Gibson did not include their accents with their roles, thus giving them more credibility.
3. I bring the used needle of what Rickman sucked out brain jiuce from people. But I am afraid that even brains in a cyringe is not enough to help sliderduh any.
