WWYC prizes for "Last of Eden," perhaps the most ironic title of the series...

• PhantomDennis wins a plate of RAM chips and dip!
• JTHeyman wins a pentacycle, from one of the many 'dumb idea' bookend worlds visited in Season Five!
• Recall317 wins a pitcher of Tigs brand Fairy Dust, for all the elephants you can handle!
• DieselMickeyDolenz wins an IDIC medallion!
• MissingSliderRyan wins one of the magic spiky dinner rolls left over from the first game of the season!
• LiquidSunshine wins a bottle of Gerber's Pureed Sunshine! Part of a balanced diet of joy!

=====

And now, welcome to Rename Game: The Other Slide of Darkness, the game that invites you to rename "The Other Slide of Darkness."

My title: "The Equation." Simplistic, but it gives the tacked-on Smarter Quinn sequence some much-needed weight and reduces the feeling that it comes out of nowhere.

Third Season Executive Producer David Peckinpah's title: Aw hell, call it "Velvet Fog." If that don't appease Torme, *nothing* will. Although I still have my heart set on "Kermit the Fog," dammit.

Okay, so, uh, you can rename "The Other Slide of Darkness" now.

I like this cumbersome title:

What the Blind Woman Didn't Exactly See

The Foggiest Idea

The funny thing is that the title pretty good. Even the Slide pun in the title works since we have two dark sliders.

I considered: "Into the Fog", "Through the Fog", "Out of the Fog", but decided to go with "Heart of the Fog" which like the original evokes the original source material. ("Heart of Darkness" not "Apocalypse Now" Maggie isn't surfing and no one's smelling napalm. There isn't even a puppy.

Wild on... Rickman's groovy 60s lingo.

Beginning Text really understands, man.

How about "Unfamiliar Faces"? Rickman changes from Roger Daltrey to Neil Dickson (and even comments on it!) while Smarter Quinn is practically unrecognizable in his heavy First Slayer-style primal make-up. Also, viewers confused by the lack of Kari Wuhrer in "Last of Eden" could perceive *Maggie* as an unfamiliar face.

Oh, if only we were so lucky.

Quinn to Smarter Quinn: So...I'm full of lust?
Smarter Quinn: Time is your gift.

BT stinks like last weeks meatloaf!

Ewwww!

Anywho, I think I have a nice name for this fog of an episode:

Remorse and Regret

This plays on the aspect of Smart Quinn revealing the information about Sliding to the Mags. Ahh, if only this would have the focal point of the episode to begin with..

I was thinking perhaps "Lord of the Fog: The Fellowship of the Fog," though I suppose any episode with Maggie in it could be subtitled "The Two Towers".

BT go and play around the mulberry bush.

Hey, the plot is so murky so why not?

Name That Ripoff
I see Sammy Joe's Grandmother, King Kong and Apocalypse Now
