• And finally, FogBoy wins a STARRING ROLE in today's episode... as he sits at the head of the class and gets chewed out by Tracy Tormé himself, for dissing the integrity of the Wrong Arturo plotline!TORMÉ: You're comin' with me, son.
FOGBOY: What?! But Mr. Tormé... we've never had problems before!
[ Tormé arms his legendary Can of Verbal Whup-Ass. As the lesson is conducted, phrases such as 'MISUNDERSTOOD, not EVIL, you blistering idiot!!!!' and 'FOOTBALL CLUE!!!!!!' can be heard echoing from behind the students. ]
BLINKER: Right then. So, how about we find out what y'all brought in for PTSS...
SYNTHIA [holding up object]: This is an arrowhead from an Earth where America never fell to the Europeans. Tests will shortly reveal that it originated on a world whose geology is substantially different from our own...
BLINKER: Uh... problem.
SYNTHIA: Oh?
BLINKER: That's what *I* brought.
SYNTHIA: Just curious -- is there ANYone in this class who DIDN'T bring the Arrowhead?
[ No hands are raised. ]
SLIDER_QUINN21: How 'bout we make it Moral of the Story today...
BLINKER: Fair enough. Well, PTSS taught me that conflict between the Sliders is only a bad thing when Maggie's involved.
SYNTHIA: I learned that there's apparently enough bronze in the world to cast a life-size statue of John Rhys-Davies... though I can't help but doubt the truth of this.
BLINKER: Cool. Hey Fog, you okay back there?
TORMÉ: OF COURSE, PTSS Arturo and Quinn had the same relationship prior to the Slide!! The Professor WAS invited to the basement that evening, WASN'T HE???
FOGBOY: I protest this treatment!! I'm a respected BBoard member... if I wasn't, someone would've thought to register 'FagBoy' by now!
BRAND_S: I dunno. With the First Wave board sharing the same server, it's entirely possible someone *has*.
BLINKER: We'll let you off with a warning this time... but remember, the intentions of Tormé are both PARAMOUNT and UNIVERSAL!
SYNTHIA: And Miramax!
[ Blink favours her with a glare. ]

The Golden(Azure) Gate Bridge can't be all that great of a landmark if the Sliders can't tell that its BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!(In my best Letterman voice)
Duh....the bridge is blue! Duh...that ain't right...

One free quickening... hm... so many to choose from... TPTB that cancelled Sliders, Quantum Leap, Highlander... those damn editors of Endgame... maybe later.When you talk to your psychiatrist and you have to slide, make sure that's the correct group you are sliding with. You might end up with people who look like your friends, act like your friends, but in fact are doubles.

Sometimes "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it" is a very unhelpful adage indeed.

...to never, never cerealize my diary. Look how much trouble Wade got into! Plus your innermost personal thoughts get kinda soggy in milk... (Somebody whispers to TM)...What?!?!? Alright, Mr. Webster, what I really learned is that I will never SERIALIZE my diary, because then someone who has been trying to impersonate my friend can claim to be my friend, and then the person who might actually be my friend can claim that the impersonator just read my diary, which may or may not be true and it will spark a fan debate for eons over whether TM's Wrong or Right Friend went to Stucky's with him. And I don't want to deal with that.

Claiming that Kromaggs would drive a black van is so stupid it will get cut from the script....
Kromaggs drive Hum-vees.

*raises hand*There's nothing like a little 'it wasn't the wrong Arturo' suggestion to invoke the wrath of god... or, Torme, whichever gets there first.
Wait, no, I didn't really learn that from the EPISODE, did I?
PTSS taught me that Quinn is the 'Sherriff Brody' of Sliders.
The authorities don't believe him, his friends don't believe him, and he's pushing the worst case scenario... and ends up right despite being the only crackpot in town with this idea.
Hmmmmm... what new extremes can I take this to?
*insert Wayne's World-esque dream sequence*
QUINN (to Wrong Arturo): "Smile, you son of a bitch!"
Eh... too easy.

I learned that if some crackpot sits on your couch and starts telling you about how he's from a parallel dimension, maybe *you're* the crazy one.--Eusti
