Global TV is on CRACK. [entirely SR]

Yes, the exclusive broadcaster of first-run Sliders eps in this part of Canada -- previously best known for playing "Requiem" BETWEEN "The Unstuck Man" and "Applied Physics" -- has just topped itself.

See, this is Global's idea of the Final Six:

1) Heavy Metal (in which the timer goes on the fritz)
2) A Thousand Deaths (timer fine again)
3) To Catch A Slider (whoops, timer's fritzier than a '70s animated cat)
4) Dust (which doesn't even make sense on its OWN)
5) The Seer (in which Remmy dives to an uncertain fate on Earth Prime, using co-ordinates obtained during... uh...)

That's right. NEXT week is 'Eye of the Storm.' A week AFTER the series freakin' finale, they show the events leading UP to it. And you thought Sliders continuity was *already* screwed up!

Upcoming narcotic-fueled Global programming decisions:

• Airing Pilot Part II, followed by a special RealPlayer "webcast" of Part I exclusively for those with T3-speed net connections.
• Airing Luck of the Draw, followed by Genesis, followed by a commercial for New Gods For Old (which never actually airs), followed by an exclusive new story created from editing two others together: "Oh Breeder, Where Art Thou." It's cryogenic wackiness all around when new slider Colin goes on an unstoppable sex-and-murder spree!
• Airing "Joanie Loves Chachie."

Anyway, this post also serves to let everyone know that I'm going to be away on holidays the next week (specifically 'til next Sunday... late next Sunday.) Take care, all.

Sounds wackier than my cable company. So sorry.

Uh, when are you going to do your part on the story game? According to HK, Blaze Knight is out and it's your go.

Have a nice holiday.

that for the sake of their own sanity they'd show it in the right order .stax

Actually, it does kinda make sense...

...if, as you say, you went on a 15 day crack and Stay-Puff marshmellow binge.

Oh, and don't give them any ideas for future programming! :-D

At least you don't have to depend on someone else taping the shows for you. And only getting 2 or 3 a week. If that many.

Hope you have a great holiday!
