TUESDAY is the day! "With Age Comes Wisdom", the Earth 214 SERIES FINALE, premieres 2/4/03. BE THERE!
BTW, I'm shocked

Recall, I'm calling you out...
You're mad that Roads Taken has been taken off, and then you vote for GENESIS? The episode that basically ruined the show (in my eyes, of course)...?
Please tell me this is to get back at Roads Taken...
(Or at least tell us why Genesis is one of the top 5-10 episodes in Season 4)
Quinn
Genesis is one of S4's best
Date: 01/31/2003
From: Recall317
Hate the concept, love the episode
Or at least appreciate the episode.
"Genesis" isn't really that bad. I watched it last week and was startled at how good a job it did in many places. First of all, Quinn is Quinn. He's acted well, he's written well; that makes a huge difference.
The Kromaggs aren't exactly in full Nazi mode yet. Peck even retains an element of suspense. A few of the Magg guards have the same type of hair as the S2 and none of them speak. It isn't until the "human" general shows himself as a Magg. That's new, but it's not inconsistent.
The episode is exciting. There's a great moment when Quinn and his mother are speaking and Quinn suddenly realizes he may be talking to a plant...or thin air, a trick he remembered from "Invasion." "Invasion" really did stand up throughout Genesis; it's only the later eps that completely ruin the Kromaggs.
Even the extras aren't bad. The hacker is a neat character, you know, one you might consider allowing to recur.
It has its bad moments: I don't like the arc it creates. I really don't like Wade being sent to a breeder camp. I hate that Quinn is an alien. I can't comprehend why they'd destroy earthprime. However, taken as it is, it's one of the best eps of S4. Energy and enthusiasm, something sorelu lacking as the season wore on.
Marta (holding a gun): Move and I'll cut you to pieces!
I mean, you can't script comedy like that! Well, I guess you can...

PS. Roads Taken, on the other hand, holy crap is that awful!

"Requiem"???

A requiem for Beginning Text.
*****
I seriously cannot believe "Requiem" has been voted off while decent episodes like "To Catch a Slider", "Strangers and Comrades" and "New Gods for Old" remain. C'mon, even some of you have got to admit that "The Seer" was better than "Requiem".
Oh well, on to the vote at hand.
SEASON ONE (seven remain, choose one)
The King is Back
SEASON TWO (ten remain, choose one)
Invasion
SEASON THREE (eighteen remain, choose 3) (soon I'll be flipping a coin)
Electric Twister Acid Test
Desert Storm
Murder Most Foul
SEASON FOUR (fifteen remain, choose 2)
Slide by Wire
My Brother's Keeper
SEASON FIVE (fourteen remain, choose 2)
To Catch a Slider
The Seer
And on the "Genesis" debate
Date: 01/31/2003
From: The_Seer
BT will not join in on this one.
****
Recall actually makes some good points about "Genesis". I myself consider the episode a very mixed bag.
Here are it's good points:
1) The Kromagg occupation of Earth Prime was a good way to provide incentive for the sliders to have kept sliding even if Sabrina had returned as Wade and Quinn's awful new origin was never conceived.
2) This is the last episode we see Quinn show any kind of concern about Wade
3) This is the first episode we see Maggie's improved personality and a deeply scarred Rembrant.
4) Quinn's suspicion that it wasn't really his mother and that it was a Kromagg trick.
4) I liked Quinn's last line at the end of the episode. "We'll be back. You can count on it." It's too bad Quinn (and the writers) forgot all about it by the time "Revelations" rolled around.
Unfortunately the episode has some bad things, some of which were already mentioned:
1) Quinn's origin.
2) Wade in a breeding camp.
3) Maggie's miraculous ablity to now be able to breathe on Earth Prime (not as much of a strike against it since that whole thing was stupid to begin with).
4) Quinn's suspicions going out the window simply because of some microdot.
5) The fact that Quinn's "real" mother is not a double of Amanda.
6) Quinn's last line is rendered meaningless when it is later forgotten by Quinn (and the writers) by the time "Revelations" rolls around.
Overall, I tend to lean towards not liking it because the negatives do affect the rest of the series and it probably should have stayed "alive" longer in this contest but I was much more willing to see it go than say "Requiem".
My Vote!!

Corrections to my last post: "Genesis" has not been voted off yet and essentially the same sentence mentioning "Revelations" is in two places.

MARGE: [disapproving grumble] Homer, have you been voting for "The Chasm" again?
HOMER: Um... no! It says, uh, "The Charm." You know, where Quinn walks out of 77 Mekalech Way, and says "so long, suckers"? Hee hee hee! I love that scene.
MARGE: Let me see that.
HOMER: No.

Wow, if Desert Storm is eliminated this round, then that says everything you need to know about the third season.

I really enjoy this contest. Most people get all worked up about their favorite eps. Me? It's the worst ones I go to war for...and against.

S4: Genesis, Slide By Wire
S5: New Gods For Old, Dust
Sound good to you?

"Nananananananana Fatman!"
Taken Roads
Date: 02/01/2003
From: TemporalFlux
The guilty pleasure of season four as many have called it. For me, all the things just under the surface make "Roads Taken" a favorite. The view of other distant slide tunnels in a chaotic slide...the possibility of an unknown nuclear blast causing the reality fission...the undertone that Quinn and Maggie were essentially left mutually brainwashed by forming a reality that filled in gaps the other person had about what they wanted and how they wanted to act...even a fair attempt at actual alternate history for a change. The episode has alot going for it even with some of the decidely bad moves (such as the unecessary "Groundhog Day" effect at the end).
As for my picks this round:
Season one:
"Summer of Love"
Season two:
"As Time Goes By"
Season three:
"State of the Art"
"Murder Most Foul"
"The Fire Within"
Season four:
"Net Worth"
"Slide By Wire"
Season five:
"New Gods for Old"
"A Thousand Deaths"
