(with apologies to Joss Whedon)- SYNTHIA -
Watching "The Seer" quite displeases me,
Can't stand that final fade to black.
Instead let's sing, about the next best thing,
To having our show back:- BLINKER -
And that's to
Walk, through old "Sliders,"
Taking note of what we learned.
And we will make, sure to leave no
Stone un-- SYNTHIA [interrupting] -
Here's my moral, try to beat it:
I learned no translation's needed,
When conversing with a sentient flame...- BLINKER -
Never thought 'til fire got her,
Wade could be made *any* hotter.
Now it's each of your turns in the game...- ASSEMBLED BBOARDERS -
We'll see it through
It's what we're always here to do;
So we will
Walk, through "The Fire,"
Pointing out each lesson learned.
And then they'll
Pass, out the prizes,
That we've ear... (ear...) (earned...)
That we've
EARNED.=====
Okay, everyone... showtime!

Beginning text must be destroyed!...and I'm sure Joss would say the same thing. But then there's me butchering his work, which is another matter entirely.
"The Fire Within", it's a lousy ep
I look into it and go 'blecch!'
Why can't I quip? This one deserves a rip
Or just a shot at PeckNow "Fire Within" it bothers me
The show's not on top of its game
But then again, it's not the worst of them
S3 was mighty lameSo I will skirt through the moral
Since this one left me cold
And I will breeze through the moral
Though it's not...It's tough to be a "Sliders" fan
And see what's right go oh so wrong
Must be a curse, the show was getting worse
Guess I'll just sing my songCause I am lost in the moral
There's nothing there in bold
So forget about the moral
As it's not...Cut from TM to Jerry O'Connell (tune of "Rest in Peace" from "Once More with Feeling"):
I lied
So many years ago
I told the fans I'd stay, that I wouldn't go
But why I really left the scene, I think I finally knowMy bro
He couldn't act worth beans
Good thing I never taught the guy what nepotism means
Tried to leave him in my stead, be seen on bigger screensExcept
They didn't want to play
"You leave and your brother's fired" was all that they could say
I can't believe there's someone who won't let me get my way
So I say screw the fans'!!Let's just screw the fans
We have other plans
We could always go to Malibu and work on our tans
I can be a "big" film star and you can scrub our pots and pans
So let's go screw the fansTM pops his head in. "Uh, Jerry? We're doing moral of the story for 'The Fire Within' here."
"The what?" Jerry asked, confused and disliking me for stopping his singing.
TM sighed deeply. "It's a 'Sliders' episode. Do you have anything relevant to add or..."
"Was it one I was in? Cause if so, the moral was 'babes are hot'. Either that or 'I'm hot'. Wait, did the fire in the title refer to me or the babes?"
TM resisted the urge to bludgeon Jerry with something. "You know, between your imbecilic shenanigans and SliderPaul making a joke about me being bisexual which would have been unfunny and tasteless even if my sexual orientation weren't already well-established on the board, which it is and I'm asexual, the exact opposite of bisexual, which just makes it all the more tacky..."
TM is just now noticing crickets chirping in the background.
"Right. Time for the big finish."
Now we get to the moral
It tells us what we've learned
So then here's the moral
The fans got burn...fans got burn...fans got burn...fans got burned!Blinker: That's it? You wasted two musical numbers to tell us that?
TM: Y'uh-huh. Now to work on my Esther Williams routine in case Blinker gives us 'Desert Storm' as an episode again.

Now
THAT is being upstaged by a master!

Lemme try. It's been a while since I've seen this one.
Papers everywhere
Frantic searching
"Where is it?"
Flames light up
Covering the truth
Blinker: Whoa, MSR, that's not an NTSS poem. That's not even from the Fire Within.
MSR: Uh... yes it is.
Blinker: I've seen this episode so many times. That's not in there!
MSR: Well, you got me. It's not.
Blinker: So MSR, what's your moral of the story?
MSR: Quinn is flame-retarded as opposed to flame-retardant.
Blinker: Mmmm.. poptarts.
MSR
Props for getting that scene. LOL
I'll
see you in hell

Bring marshmallows!Oh hell, this episode is so preposterous I'm having trouble locking down any one thing I learned. But here's my lasting impression:
The Moral of the Story is that with creative use of camera angles, you can make the same set look like a gigantic warehouse on fire. Actually, we learned this lesson way back in "Fever"...and it didn't work then either!
At least I can skip the Backdraft exhibit next time I'm at Universal.

TM, Blinker: Incredible. You two our wasting your talents in college and the Canadian Intelligence Agency respectively. ;)

Anderson cooks his Mother Goose.Hmmmm...what did we learn from this flight of fancy? (or with the season three spending, I guess I should say "fancy flight"). Well, I guess we learned from the teaser that you need to wear a baseball helmet even when you aren't hitting anything real (I guess the precaution is for all those people who forget to hold on to the bat). I also learned that people in a bar will apparently bet on *anything* after having a few drinks.

I learned that the flame isn't any brighter than David Peckinpah. Had it simply allowed Quinn to get run over, we would all have been spared the travesties that were Paradise Lost, the Exodus, The Breeder, Slither, Stoker, and all of S4.

Moral

answered after I kick sliderseth in the pants! whoohoo!!
a-huh-huh-huh, Fire's Cool! a-huh-huh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Fire Rules! Fire! Fire! Fire!
Sorry, had a Beavis and Butthead moment there...
The REAL moral of the story is that if sliderseth likes the ep(which he does), then it must suck major ass like he does! After all, he likes it because he can relate to how pompus the whole thing is.
JS
Loving these prizes more than money!
If
it's a season 3 episode ...

From: The_Seer
... then there must be a moral.Okay, I got it. When going out sliding, always be sure to wear flame-retardant clothes just in case you land in a place like Fire World. Otherwise, either you get burned or you end up with a living flame as company on the next world.
