BLINKER: Huh? *That* piece of crap had something to teach us? Oh... we're on!
SYNTHIA: Well, I don't know about you, but --
BLINKER & SYNTHIA: -- Ilearnednevertowatchitagain!!!!
[A pause.]
SYNTHIA: I was first.
BLINKER: Dammit. 7>:-| Uhh... lemme think. I learned that the Sliders now consider it a good idea to engage in a BOBSLED RACE with the window coming up. I mean, for smeg's sake! Can you imagine what the slide at the beginning of 'Fever' would've been like if they'd landed in front of that truck in a BOBSLED????
SYNTHIA: Actually, they wouldn't have stopped anywhere *near* the exit point. Didn't you notice the sled hurtling on for several miles at speeds that'd make a Formula One racer pee his pants? They must've been COUNTING on sliding into a vast, open desert! These people are on CRACK!
BLINKER: So very, very true.
SYNTHIA: Hey, speaking of which... when are you going to run the corrections for all the egregious factual errors you've allowed to creep into these posts by rushing them in at the last minute?
[ Grumbling, Blinker pushes a button on the Satellite drive console. A stream of phrases races through the air in front of the two hosts at lightning speed. ]
CC_DEVILLE: Hey, this says there's 1.44 *megs* on a standard floppy, and *3.5* inches!
EXECUTIVE: "The Academy Awards" is really THREE words??? How can it be????
SLIDER8_: Whoa, Ted Koppel IS a robot!

I learned that if you're a guest actor in a bad "Sliders" episode with a drug theme (Julie Benz in "Electric Twister Acid Test"; J. August Richards in "Just Say Yes") you get recurring roles on "Angel", a series which looks to be around for a while. If you're a guest actor in a semi-decent "Sliders" episode with a timewarp theme (Rebecca Gayheart in "Time Again and World", Brooke Langton in "As Time Goes By") your show ("Wasteland", "The Net") tanks. Let that be a lesson to you actors of the Peckinpah era! Start sending in those resumes to Joss Whedon now!ThomasMalthus

I learned that if you put Corey Feldman in an episode of Sliders, you get both the worst pre-Exodus episode in Sliders history *and* the highest rated show of Season 3. Figure that one out.Oh yeah. I also figured out that I'm not wearing any pants!!!

I learned that the only weay this episode will make sense is that you watch it high on ACID... hence the title.
But for all you non-drug abusers, here's a way to acheive a similar effect. Just down several shots or Vodka, Whiskey or any type of hard liquor of your choice, sit back and watch. Its that easy. Now you can enjoy this EXTREMELY poor "Twister" rip-off, and don't have to worry about hurling afterwards... until the next morning.

That if you put a bunch of sliders writers to typewriters one will write out Shakespear. However, this was one of the rejects.

and goes to strangle the writers of this wretched episode.;-)Was there a moral to this episode? Dunno. Saw it once a long time ago. I don't even think I even finished watching it.

I didn't think much of this ep either..especially compared to Guardian, which left me moistened and memorful. For the first respondent...The title knocks off Tom Wolfe's '60s counterculture essay, "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test"MuleWaves...

Didn't John Candy star in a movie about a bobsled team? Blockbuster thought I rented that movie and billed me $79 for it! Can you believe THAT? AND I never even saw it!!Oh ... this is supposed to be Sliders related ... OK ... hmmmm .... the moral of the story .... was there really a reason for it? Maybe the moral is ... um ... certain video tapes really can & should be recorded over?
