Coolslider's Trivia # 9

Date: 10/15/2000
From: Stax_

Vortex62 came in first with the answer with Slider_Sarah a close second . Of course leave it to me to create a quiz as open as ... well the last quiz . While vortex69 did not make a mistake his answers did not correspond to mine . So I went and checked and saw no mistake on his part because the questions had a surprisingly large amount of right answers . So congratulations to Tex as well as thanks as his site and screen caps made this question possible . For the record here is how I would have answered .

1980s - The Guardian
1970s - A Thousand Deaths ( Remmy's sojourn into the 70s role-playing game )
1960s - Summer of Love
1950s - Gillian of the Spirits
1920s - The Java Jive
1880s - Way Out West
Turn of the century London - Murder Most Foul

And ONE episode each featuring those items that were never in vogue .

Police uniforms with skirts - Time Again and World
Body long shawls and scythes - Into the Mystic
Bio-containment suits - Fever / Common Ground
Virtual Reality visors - Virtual Slide
Military fatigues - Strangers and Comrades / The Exodus and umpteen others
Monastery robes - The Great Work / Applied Physics
Soviet army uniforms - The Pilot (Part II)
White trousers and oversized white shirts - The Believers in New Gods For Old / Map of the Mind
Victorian dress and parasol - The Asian twin in Invasion / Murder Most Foul
Leather jackets and jousting polls - Easy Slider


And on to todays question :

Sliders's Eco-systems : Name the episodes in which the Sliders slide into or from the following habitats ( if only to wander into San Fransisco in the next scene ) . The number beside indicates the amount of episode you give . Worlds unseen but talked about count .

a) Woodland / Jungle area (4)
b) Desert Area (4)
c) Water (4)
d) Into the vortex from an unhealthy height i.e. if the sliders had missed the vortex they would have gone splatter or died (3)
e) Into a pile of rubbish (2)
f) An ice-age like Earth (2)
g) Dust swept Earth (1)
h) Fire engulfed Earth (1)
i) Beaches (2)
j) Underground (3) Excluding The Great Work as it's debateable

Answers will be revealed next weekend . First to answer correctly wins .Good luck .stax

Even tho being first isn't fair because this is the earliest I could get here. Maybe the one with most correct? (Tex would probably still have one - I didn't look at his)

a) Woodland / Jungle area (4)
Slither, Dinoslide, Gillian of the Spirits. Oh, and The Dying Fields. I can name more than for seemingy.

b) Desert Area (4)
Desert Storm, uh... Dust,

c) Water (4)
Prince of Wails (kinda), Heavy Metal, Greatfellas, er...

d) Into the vortex from an unhealthy height i.e. if the sliders had missed the vortex they would have gone splatter or died (3)
Asylum, Lipschitz Live (well, two of them were hanging off a tower), and I would argue Revelations as well.

e) Into a pile of rubbish (2)
Roads Taken, and wasn't Murder Most Foul one as well?

f) An ice-age like Earth (2)
Pilot, there was another one? Does Desert Storm count cos they were bobsledging?

g) Dust swept Earth (1)
Isn't that the same as Desert Area? My answers are the smae as there.

h) Fire engulfed Earth (1)
The Fire Within

i) Beaches (2)
Paradise Lost, I think Gillain of the Spirits was a beach wasn't it?

j) Underground (3) Excluding The Great Work as it's debateable
From underground too? I'll make guesses with El Sid, Dream Masters and The Exodus.

So... how did I do?

Sarah.
