hi, i'm new to the board!

I'm new to this sliders phenomena and, I guess, compared to most of you, I'm in the crawling stages to all of you running the marathon!

I was turned onto the show by all of the positive comments made by your very own cc-deville (who I met at a party about a month ago). He and his brother, trueslider2, (I think that was his handle) were at that party and cc was talked up the show after a few guests said they saw Jerry O'Connell at an East Side Bar earlier that night. I began to watch it soon after, and told my friends to watch it too. Most of them, (about a good 12 friends) I can easily say, are now devote watchers and followers.

Last week, I was sick with the flu and logged-on for the first time and began reading all of the posts and rants and slams , well, you get the picture. Before I knew it, 3 days past in which all I did was spend hours upon hours reading the postings and fanfics. I also logged onto most of your web pages dedicated to this movement. About two weeks ago, I held a 'Sliders 2-day rerun premier' party, which a bunch of my friends watched the 2-part premier episode and partied after each episode (Boy were we all hammered!).

I recently saw cc again last week, and he prompted me to post a "hello" to everyone, so here it is! He also picked out my handle, which was the drink I was having (its actually an after dinner liquor that tastes like smooth chocolate milk, but after a few, you could easily be kissing the floor if you're not careful standing up!).

So, here I am everyone, and lets enjoy the fun while it lasts!

Welcome to the board! You seem like a friendly fellow/gal. Hope you stick around.

This board is often a bit of a hostile environment to new posters. It's hard to work your way into the groove. Good luck to you in that regard, and I hope that you become a regular over time, rather than running in fear after a week like some before you have! But hey, I'm here for three months now. So you can make it.

YOU DID IT! GREAT! and WELCOME!!

Eventually, we all need them, but somtimes things are peacefull. Why, just today I read two posts that both TemporalFlux and Executive responded to and the board *didn't* break out in a flame war. Will wonders never cease?

You, HunterD AKA The D-man, AKA The Hunter.
Always nice to have someone knew who likes the show.
As for some prelim do's and don'ts.
1-Don't say "Jerry made the show" that will PO a LOT of people (Especially ME)
2-TF is a great source of information, he has given lots of stuff that no one would know otherwise (such as the script to The Seet months before it aired)
3-I don't like Jerry, havent for over a year, and probably never will again, if i diss him, and you like him, let it slide, cause i don't have problems with "Jerry Fans" who know people will disagree. However i can't stand people who think only their opinion on JOC means anything.

Welcome young Slider, I hope the time you spend here is an enjoyable one. Please ignore the idiots on here as they tend to think newbies are easy pickings.

But most of us are a friendly bunch. Enjoy your stay!

Dear ChocMoz,

Sur, it is always a pleasure to see a new friendly face in our little piece of scifi. Post well, and post often. Support your opinions in a clear concise way, without attacking others, and you will be respected faster.

Enjoy, and welcome.

Blessings,

Which episodes....

From: Slidemania

which eps have you watched so far (other than "The Pilot")? Be sure to tell us what you think of them as you see them, being a Sliders newcomer and all.

episodes I have watched so far

I have seen the last 5 or 6 episodes of Season 5, and the *new* reruns that just started with Season 1.

cc-deville has filled me in on why there was a cast change, the losses of the Professor, Wade, and Quinn, to the newer team members of Maggie, Mallory and Diana. (I don't kinow who Colin is, never seen him so I have no comment on him.

So far, I like Quinn, besides being cute, he's intellecually confused and hyper. (I was told to watch on how his character changes as the series goes on. Wade, I believe, plays well off of Quinn, with her innocence and thirst for adventure. The Professor give the team the unapplied knowledge of what is happening, and offers a bit of comic relief.

Remmy, to see his character only in Season 5 and Season 1, shows how good an actor he really is and why he won a Tony years ago. He plays the ultimate comic in Season 1, tagging along hoping that the smarter ones know what they are doing and get him home as soon as possible. In Season 5, he looks all alone, and I think he is showing the strain of sliding and some suicidal signs too, especially after seeing his shrine, the ultimate wearing down of the timer, and the Seer episode, where they are treated as stars/gods (I think Remmy is turned off by that and it pushes him over the edge). He knows the end was nearing and took the ultimate risk.

Maggie seems to be a fighter, but determined not to show how scared she really is. Mallory is teh new comic relief, and at times tries to be 'all american hero'. Interestingly, I was amazed on how the actor Robert Floyd plays Jerry O'Connell playing Quinn so well and I think better emotionally than Jerry showed us in Season 1, so far. Diana seems to be a lost follower of the team, trying to prove herself to everyone, maybe feeling guilty to what had happened to Quinn, and maybe carrying the weight of replacing both Quinn and the Professor (no pun intended) as the scientist of the team.

I do see how the storylines changed, the big differences between Season 1 and Season 5, and I hate how they left the series in limbo with not one cliffhanger but multiple ones (BOO PECK! - I think I got it right)

I do enjoy the shows and can't wait to see them in their entirities.

thanks for listening to my view,

choc-moz

As I am for everything! (You'll probably notice that quite often ~:O)
Now, as a semi-newbie myself (Found my intro post recently, it was dated Dec. 12) I must congratualte you on a well-written first post! Mine was obnoxious, as I deemed it later on, (though some people assure me it was fine) but first impressions aren't always right.
You seem like a nice lil chap, so I'm looking forward to talking to you more often.

The good doctor
