<TheModerator> <Electric Peter Tork> Would we have seen full nudity of Kari if you had
remained Executive Producer of Season 5?
<DavidPeckinpah> Nudity isn't allowed on basic cable. However, she would be naked
<DavidPeckinpah> GA

<DavidPeckinpah> Then I take a break and go to the movies... it just comes to me
<DavidPeckinpah> gA
<TheModerator> <Savitar>David, who was more fun to kick of off sliders, JRD, Sabrina or
Jerry. why didn't you get Cleavant to leave as well?
<DavidPeckinpah> Well, John was a challenge, so I went for him first.
<DavidPeckinpah> I told him he needed to shave his beard. Ang get implants
<DavidPeckinpah> sabrina was easier, all I did was tell Carry to get on her bad side
<DavidPeckinpah> Jerry left on his own
<DavidPeckinpah> Cleavant refuses to give in
<DavidPeckinpah> GA
<TheModerator> <Carly> What was the last grade you passed in high school?

*To TheModerator* sorry, went for a different one
*From QuinnDouble* is chaser9 the moderator
*From QuinnDouble* ??
<DavidPeckinpah> Nope, some new guy is doing it for me.
<DavidPeckinpah> For some reason, they don't want me writing anything
<DavidPeckinpah> ga
<TheModerator> <nole9> Is it true you have compromising pictures of Tracy Torme?
<DavidPeckinpah> Well, yes and no...
<DavidPeckinpah> The one about me taking a poloroid of him in a... pose is false
<DavidPeckinpah> But he did take that brownie, and I've got proof
<DavidPeckinpah> It was mine!
<DavidPeckinpah> Ga
*To TemporalFlux* Coming to the rally?
*** No such nick/channel
<TheModerator> <Informant>What are your feelings about the die hard fans of this show? How
do you feel about the effort they've put in to save it time and again?
*** Ending conversation with TheModerator
*** Starting conversation with TheModerator
<DavidPeckinpah> Well, it's sweet
<DavidPeckinpah> I just wish they'd let it die already.
<DavidPeckinpah> I put so much hard work into it,
<DavidPeckinpah> And to know that it's not appreciated is heart breaking
<DavidPeckinpah> ga

*To TheModerator* Imposter, I say!
<TheModerator> If you're just joining us, we're talking to Sliders Executive Consultant
David Peckinpah. Please direct all questions to me, The Moderator
<TheModerator> <Savitar>If Sliders gets picked up by another station, will you try to do
the same job you did with the past few seasons?
<DavidPeckinpah> We will not be picked up.
<DavidPeckinpah> But if it did happen, I suppose I'd try to add some more conflict
<DavidPeckinpah> It went bad after I took a smaller role, and I'd like to repair that
<DavidPeckinpah> ga
<TheModerator> <Chaser9>If sliders was to be picked up for a sixth season by another
network, what are some things you might do? And if Jerry and Charlie returned for only
one episode how would you resolve ther plotline?
*To TheModerator* One last question from me... What the heck were you thinking?
<DavidPeckinpah> Well, I have an idea for Quinn. All I'll say is that it involves a 60
foot spider monkey and an ice cube
*From TheModerator* oops . . .play it off . .we'll ask it again later
<DavidPeckinpah> And I'd like to bring the show into the 22 century more. Forget about the
present. I want to see how other worlds deal with
<DavidPeckinpah> how the Kromagg war ended
<DavidPeckinpah> We're changling the title to "Knight Slider"
<DavidPeckinpah> It will be great! I'm really looking foward to it!
<DavidPeckinpah> ga
*From TheModerator* <s-the-great>Could you explain to me the exact process of ruining
someone else wrote? I'm not quite clear how that goes.
<TheModerator> <s-the-great>Could you please explain to me the exact process of ruining an

<DavidPeckinpah> ga
<TheModerator> <Savitar>Why do the Maggs in season 4 look so different from the ones in
Invasion?
<DavidPeckinpah> Good question...
*From nate8767* who's davidpeckinpah and what does ga mean?
<DavidPeckinpah> I felt the original Kromaggs could be creepier
<DavidPeckinpah> Scarier
<DavidPeckinpah> And what's creepier than a Nazi
<DavidPeckinpah> ?
<DavidPeckinpah> Besides, it's another world, so who cared?
<DavidPeckinpah> ga
<TheModerator> <BizzaroPeckinpah>why do you have to ruin every good Idea that came across
your desk, imperfect duplicate?
<DavidPeckinpah> I don't believe in desks
<DavidPeckinpah> They get in the was of the swing set
<DavidPeckinpah> And I like to add more scifi and pop culture to my episodes
<DavidPeckinpah> They're always so different from how the world is... who wants that?
<DavidPeckinpah> ga
<TheModerator> <JorgeCis>Are you going to make a guest appearence on "The Seer" as the
villian who ruined a great show on a parallel world?
<DavidPeckinpah> I will, but not as that character...
<DavidPeckinpah> Carry couldn't make it, so I'l be playing Maggie.
<DavidPeckinpah> Never seen a thong before now folks!
<DavidPeckinpah> ga
<TheModerator> <BizarroPeckinpah>What are your future plans? Any other shows you plan to
ruin?
*To TheModerator* Do people ever sit next to you at the beach and try to see out the other
side of your ears?
<DavidPeckinpah> Well, i have one in the works now. It's the first silly-cone filled brick
as a star...
<DavidPeckinpah> It's called "Hitting The Bricks"
<DavidPeckinpah> The brick plays a cop out to catch bad guys
<DavidPeckinpah> Should be great!
<DavidPeckinpah> ga
<TheModerator> <Informant>Do people ever sit next to you at the beach and try to see out
the other side of your ears?
<DavidPeckinpah> What?
<DavidPeckinpah> I don't get it.
<DavidPeckinpah> GA..... i guess
<TheModerator> <slidebabe>How come you spell Kari's name Carry?
<DavidPeckinpah> Who's Carry?

<TheModerator> <s-the-great>We all know about the movie rip-offs, but have you ever
