P.S. For those that were wondering about the handle change, Jeff Probst is the smarmy host of the Survivor television series. The change is not permanent, I assure you.

Good job, DMD! :-D As for the vote...

"The Pilot - Part 1"

Final vote and suggestion

Date: 10/03/2002
From: Slider_Quinn21

I suggest BT gets voted off NOW!!!!!!

Like I said in a previous post, PTSS is one of the reasons I love sliders so much. Such a brilliant, subtly great episode. Who would've thunk it?

Plus, my whole fanfiction career stems from it, and its the episode that could unlock the original cast in the current continuity.

So, although the Pilot is great, it is better as a whole. And PTSS defeats half of it...

So, I vote to eliminate the Pilot!!!

Now...

We all knew coming into this that PTSS and the Pilot were going to be #'s 1 and 2. It was all a matter of 3rd place and beyond.

But what is the WORST episode? This Slide of Paradise? The Breeder? The Chasm? Easy Slider? Time Again and Slide?

Find out next time on Sliders Survivor with your host DieselJeffProbst...?

Post-Traumatic Slide Syndrome

I vote against The Pilot, Part 1

I vote against The Pilot, Part 1

So which ep should I vote off? Let's consider this logically.

*The Pilot, Part 1. A solid episode, no doubt. As many have said, it's the ep that started it all, and that's got to be taken in consideration. It's got some good humor, some of the best guest star acting of the series and introduces us to the characters we all know and love. This is what hooked me on this series

*Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome. A solid character-driven plot with great acting by all involved, particularly John Rhys-Davies. The dilemmas of "PTSS" are well explored and the scene between Jerry and Sabrina that culminates in "Do you want to stay, too?" is a notable high point. But of course, what makes the story is the final conflict between the two Arturos.

Perhaps if the events of "The Exodus" had never happened, "PTSS" would be considered inferior to "The Pilot" (or even to "Invasion" or "Double Cross"). But because it gives us fanfic writers a chance to resurrect our beloved Professor, I must defer to its superiority.

So, in short, I vote against The Pilot, Part 1.

"Now BT's in hell..."

Well, there's only one choice here: "The Pilot, Part I" must be destroyed.

DMD: Um, while you're right that there's only one choice left to be made, there's actually *two* different op--

BLINKER: *Shhhhhh.*

Anyway, thanks for a great autumntime diversion! I'm looking forward to seeing it go right down to the wire!

SAVE PTSS!

"Hope for everything, expect nothing"

From: The_Seer

BT hopes "PTSS" is the Survivor.

****

Even if "PTSS" were going up against the entire 2 hour Pilot there would be no doubt in my mind as to which one I would vote off. IMO, "PTSS" was the peak of "Sliders" and is the best Sliders episode period. Therefore, I vote to eliminate "The Pilot, Part I".

A Pilot divided against itself...

From: Recall317

...cannot stand.

The Pilot may well be the best episode ever of Sliders, but half of it can't stand against "PTSS." So I eliminate Part 1.

"PTSS" is not my favorite ep of all-time, but it is a worthy champion.

Can't vote against Season 1

Date: 10/03/2002
From: Grizzlor

Obviously, the pilot should have been considered as one entity rather than split. I cannot vote against season 1 at all, regardless. Still, I feel that the Pilot holds up even in half over PTSS in some ways. Namely, that the concept was born. PTSS obviously was a better "episode," but the Pilot was just too special.

PTSS off

I vote for World Killer again!

HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE

That hair was OUTF-ING-RAGEOUS!! >:-#

But since that ep has been eliminated I vote for The Pilot, part I

:-P

It all comes down to this...

BT on a stick with mushrooms and garlic!

Wow. You know, when this game started I kinda saw this coming. I had a feeling it would come down to Season 1 and 2, but I wasn't sure if the 2 Champ would be PTSS, Invader, or LOTD. I also wasn't too sure if Pilot Part 1 would beat out Eggheads, or Part 2. But, both stood on, and defeated the other.

Now however, a decision must be made.

I want to vote off PTSS, I really do. It's just that...to me this was the pilot. I've never mentioned this before, but PTSS was my first episode of Sliders. I mean, I ahd heard of it ebfore, and wanted to catch an episode, but I neevr did. Then, I heard a radio commercial for it.

"And, this week on Sliders, after a year of travels, the group finally makes it home."

I couldn't pass this up, so I sat down and watched it, and immediately i was hooked. Sure, I saw The Pilot during re-runs that season, but PTSS still stuck with me the most after that. If not for that promo, that episode, I may evry well have decided not to catch Sliders after all.

For these reasons, I'm forced to vote off "The Pilot Part 1" Pilot, have a happy landing. You started it all, but I still love PTSS.

But easy to vote off BT.

I guess I have to vote on the Pilot, I. There was so much potential for PTSS. And what a war of thought on Arturo.

DMD: Thanks for the explanation. I guess the DAWG is out of the bag. I have never watched Survivor.

I'd rather vote off BT, but if I have to choose between the two, the Pilot is the one to go.

BT ate it.

My vote goes to the Pilot.

Sorry PTSS...

From: Slidemania

But at least "The Pilot - Part 1" had some interesting parallel Earths.

I don't DISLIKE "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome"...but I just find it highly overrated. Not that "The Pilot" is a favorite of mine either, but it's still the lesser of two evils.

I vote to evict PTSS.

Okay let's try this again...

Thanks DMD for all this! It's been fun!
