Moral of the Story ---> The Unstuck Man!

Date: 08/04/2001
From: Blinker


BLINKER: Woo Hoo!!! ...and welcome back, everyone, to the show that takes a highway hobby and turns it into a... no, wait. That's "Bumper Stumpers"...

SYNTHIA: I thought this was a daily thing. Now it's *quarterly*?!

BLINKER: No, no. If it were *quarterly*, this would've been posted two months ago! Now, did you bring the prizes or not?

• HurriKain wins ownership of the Hotel Royale from Tracy Tormé's infamous 'Star Trek' episode!
• SL4ever wins a tape of Peckinballs' dad singing country music, and a PIE to keep him company in Dexibal's stomach!
• DieselMickeyDolenz wins the rest of these alcoholic chocolates I got at Christmas! Be warned, they're several months old. And I took a bite out of one.
• Recall317 wins an autographed TIP post in which he calls Brand_S "Slap_NutS" and generally insinuates the HELL out of everyone's patience! [ http://www.scifi.com/bboard/browse.cgi/1/5/545/20400/9 ]
• Vigeant wins *another* exotic dancer... named Sid!
• SpaceTime wins a fully grown sperm whale rushing up to meet him at this very instant!
• Cheerio wins David Peckinpah's followup to his hit single "Cleavant Derricks' Laugh Track"... "Mel Tormé's Audience's Fanatical Cheering Track!"
• Slider_Quinn21 wins a DVD copy of Election 2000 coverage... so he can watch Bush replace Clinton (and optionally, slide with the group)!
• Jenneration_X wins Cézanne Brown! So that's who she wins; she wins Cézanne Brown!
• ThomasMalthus picks up Pauly Shore's monosyllabic autobiography -- "See Shore" -- and a bright 'n shiny GOLD STAR. With replies like these, how can he NOT? Go check 'em out!

=== MORAL OF THE STORY: THE UNSTUCK MAN ===

BLINKER: Let's see... "The Unstuck Man"? I learned that Quinn was Maggie's world.

SYNTHIA: It was news to me too. Anyway, I walked away with the knowledge that there *is* something slower than the BBoard on a weekend... namely, THAT CLIMACTIC FIGHT SCENE. If those henchmen were any more hesitant to shoot, I'd diagnose narcolepsy.

DONNER: I learned that there aren't nearly enough dirty words rhyming with "unstuck." I mean, even if there were *three* I could express my displeasure with the ep in a really bitchin' quatrain!

BLINKER: So, good citizens, what nuggets of wisdom did YOU retrieve from the ep? You'll be helping to educate the masses, and as always, there's prizes!

"Regarding the awful looking creature on the way to the mayor's office, one, it goes with the tropics, he can sit there all year long. Two, we grew up with them and indeed it is not for tourists."

WOOHOO!

From: Recall317


Never kill off a character who will no longer be on the show. It makes far more sense to completely upheave the known laws of physics and utterly destroy any semblance of continuity the show was clinging to.

But other than that, I actually liked this ep. :)

I learned a few things from this episode

Date: 08/04/2001
From: The_Seer


Moral #1 - When an evil scientist asks you to step into a stasis chamber, you probably shouldn't do it.

Moral #2 - Sometimes things work out even if you leave it up to Mallory and Diana to save the day.

and finally ...
Moral #3 - If your boss is "unstuck" then you might want to consider finding another job

I learned...

Date: 08/04/2001
From: ThomasMalthus


...that you should always trust the villain. David Peckinpah is so smart to make our heroes finally figure this out! I mean, imagine if our brave explorers of parallel worlds had figured this out earlier:

In The Pilot, they would have turned the American Underground into the Soviet authorities, thus avoiding the Wade-might-be-dead scare and possibly securing Rembrandt's release from prison!

In Luck of the Draw, they should have realized that the lottery system was best for everyone and let Wade be killed. If Quinn had looked deep within his pelvis and known that he would soon be with his precious Maggie, I'm sure he would have said that they "don't have time" on that world, too.

In Invasion, the Sliders should have simply told them what the sliding tunnel that leads to their world was. I'm sure all the Kromaggs wanted to do is open one of their famous red-and-black sweater chain stores and send our president a human-eyeball basket.

Always remember...yellow and blue make *green*. Brown vortices open some doors that aren't just to other dimensions.

Amoral or a moral?

Nubile Nympho + Twice the Man, Bang'em when you can + JOC NAN Acting school dropout + Hapless Singer = Sliders?


That's just like telling a necrophiliac that Lara Croft's Tomb Raider is the movie for them.

Hey, it IS a reply about Kari... :-O

So what did I pick up? That the hair colour of every Maggie across the multiverse changes on a strict one-year rotation.

SEASON THREE:
• Maggie Prime. Red hair.
• Maggie Double Prime. Red hair.

SEASON FOUR:
• Maggie Prime switches to jet-black hair.
• Sure enough, Alternateville Maggie's hair is the very shade of Peckinpah's heart.
• Slide by Wire Maggie has hair black and slick enough to electrocute Tasha Yar.

SEASON FIVE:
• Maggie Prime affects a natural brown. Any guesses what hue her doubles in Waiting for Beckett and A Current Affair will be favouring?

(Hey, at least the Maggie in The Seer had an excuse. :-P)

I learned that there are things more horrifying than "Saved By the Bell" trying to be amusing. Mallory trying to be amusing.

I learned that Jerry's body double had apparently just hit puberty.

"Go... *voice cracks* GO!"

I guess that makes him more mature than the REAL Jerry, actually.

From: DieselMickeyDolenz


I learned that it is always easier to destroy than create. Instead of finding a creative way to explain Quinn and Colin's absence, just destroy the characters and any semblance of sanity the show had remaining.
