I was at Amazon.com looking to buy the Sliders companion book and saw you're review. It was brutal. But coming for you I know it was the truth. I'm going to have to rethink the purchase.SciFiWatcher
Yeah...

Just to make sure you know, I received an e-mail from Linaweaver correcting me on one thing. The Weiss interview is longer than the Spellos one by a few pages (it just seemed shorter to me in remembering...probably because I would have expected more in depth questions for Weiss). The rest of my review was not commented on by Linaweaver, however...which you should probably tell you something.The reason I did the review in the first place was so that no one else who frequents the Sliders communities would get burned. I meant what I said...between Expert's old info, the info now at Earthprime.com (alot of which came from Expert), the Ed Hall info and my info (not to mention the several on-line chats and interviews with the stars and creators), you get a ton more information with a lot less unneeded commentary (which from Linaweaver is sometimes lude...at least in my opinion). And once I finish the current round of updates at my site (all coming from independent sources...not Linaweaver's guide), there won't be anything you would have missed from not reading the book (unless you just want to read Linaweaver's opinions on episodes). And the best part...you get the on-line info for free. Oh, and while the interviews in the Linaweaver guide are a bit entertaining...they also don't provide any info we haven't heard from the stars and creators before.
Just wanted to through those extra bits in...the review guidelines wouldn't let me mention specific sites or give addresses, so I wanted to make sure you knew what I was talking about, and I wanted to make sure you noted that correction.

I checked out your review too. It is nice they allow that kind of input. Most new fans like me wouldn't know the difference. I already have the book and some comments make it seem like he really isn't that big of a fan. Maybe that's just my interpretation.I am confused though. He has two comments. One that has his e-mail address that you mentioned before and one at the top of the review section. Were both referring to you? The one with the e-mail address shows an earlier date than your comment. It seemed like is comment defending the book was the first review so who was he talking about in his defense?

I had not yet seen Brad's new message at the top...thanks for pointing that out Mychand! As for his comments that I didn't cover...I didn't have to be there to know what he did. If he truly watched the episodes *and* read the scripts (no where in the book does he mention reading the scripts), then he should have been able to differentiate what was broadcast and what wasn't. He couldn't and didn't do that in the book (which leads to two possible conclusions...the man is incredibly dumb for not being able to tell the difference between what made it to screen and what didn't or he only read the scripts - I was actually giving him the nicer option in my original review).As for his first defense, that was directed at the first reviews of the book (which I believe you can find by clicking on a "next" or "all" button at the bottom). Those reviews also saw Linaweaver's book in disfavor...and Amazon allowed Linaweaver to rebutt while also giving *himself* a 5 star rating (and I'm sure that was a purely objective opinion that didn't skew the average...note the sarcasm directed at both Linaweaver and Amazon).

I don't think he should have been able to give himself a five star rating either since it will probably throw off the overall rating. Thanks for pointing out the additional reviews. Somehow I missed that.Mychand :o)

You wrote recently:> Just wanted to through those extra bits in...the review
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Well, this takes the cake, Tf. I have proven time and time again that my information is correct and that yours is nothing more than lies built on fabrication. If you'll look (and I doubt you will) you'll notice you spelled "throw" incorrectly! I believe John Walsh from the TV Guide BBS put it so eloquently when he said that Sci-Fi Channel was going to "throw new episodes of 'Sliders' on its programming block in January."
So once again, I've proven you wrong. Without using a URL. But I'm not actually here until Saturday. Sometimes it's just too much fun to point out your horrible indiscretions. Too much fun...

a
slight correction TF,
Date: 03/13/1999
From: Slider_Sarah
In the UK at any rate, the information on the internet is *not* free. We have to pay for the phone usage because local calls are not free. This is even if you use a free ISP (I do - crispinsonline). It can get very annoying. A friend of mine ran up a £280 bill (around $450 to US) and her parents banned her from the net.Also, I agree with what you say about Linaweaver's guide. To me it lacked enthusiasm and you know that the bit in Young and the Relentless that he left in confused me immensly. He also claimed to have lots of little information like why Sabrina dyed her hair red, but other than that, he had very little. I'm hoping that when my guide at my site is finished, it will be far better and more informative.
And before I go, Executive (I'm fairly certain he'll be drawn to anything correcting TF, it's not set in stone, but fairly certain). You obviously did not read my comments in the "Logic Lapse" post where you were arguing. Especially the comment about incorrect info. I've provided you with a link

BTW, TF, thanks for your very polite reply to my comments.

How old are you all anyway? 11? 12? It seems that Slider_Sarah who is only 16 is MUCH more mature than the rest of you. Is this some kind of love spat or what? Why not argue in your own thread next time and quit ruining someone elses so the rest of the board can skip it all together since you obviously won't take your battle off the board and into e-mail. It isn't fair that everyone tells RealRealSlider and the rest to take if off the board but tolerates all of you.

The previous was not directed to TF. He looks like the only innocent one in this since he apparently does not start these arguments.

TF has a way of twisting everything I say. The truth behind my statement that you and NoMaggs "backed me up" in my review thread for "Roads Taken" translates to simply that neither of you disagreed with my time travel theory at the time we discussed it. I understand that you were as confused about the "bubble world" concept in that episode as was I and other fans who have seen that episode. I'm sorry if you misunderstood what I meant by that, and I hope that clears it up for you!

I don't think it was just TF who saw it like that because I did the first time I saw it even before I read TF's reply."We're here. Then again, maybe we're not."

From: THE_braniac5
...Exec is the leader of the world's deaf-mutes? I mean, he claimed that two people were backing him up because they DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING? How pathetic is that? Anyway, back to the ORIGINAL reason for this thread to begin with (Exec's fantasies aside), Linaweaver's shi-...er, publication, is not for die-hard sliders fans. There are enough discrepancies that anyone even remotely familiar with the show will catch them immediately. Makes you wonder if Linaweaver is Exec, doesn't it?B5

Interesting theory, snort. Actually you would be really surprised to know who I really am too. Maybe I should have used my normal handle so that you could see once and for all that not everyone LOVES you like you think. Maybe B5 is just someone like me who is so tired of you putting everyone else down and acting like you are so much more superior. This is why I don't mind TF giving you a hard time back since someone needs to put you in your place. As for why I really won't use my real handle, I don't feel like being harrassed by you and your "up you butt so far" buddy. Unlike you who only comes here to promote your "other" boards and fight with TF, I come here for Sliders.

For your information, I have discussed SLIDERS quite often in the past. With the show in reruns I don't have as much to say about this show as other series these days. Do you?? TF and Braniac5 are the only people here who have long been a pain in the ass. Are you looking to add yourself to the list as well?By the way, I am not Snort so please don't make false accusations.

I am me. You are...you are...well, anyway, let's put it like this. I have actual, physical witnesses (about 10 or so) who post on these boards and can attest to the fact that I am NOT Tf. How many people do you have that have seen you and snort in the same room at the same time? Thought so. Later, snort.Don't like it? Prove me wrong. Snort.

Mainly because I never accused you of being TF!! Can you read? I'm not Snort. I have always posted as EXECUTIVE and THE EXECUTIVE because I have nothing to hide.If you don't plan to contribute something ** positive ** to this forum when you post (and you haven't yet), then I suggest you leave. The flame wars between TF, you, and I have occurred because that is the course YOU have chosen to take. Now for the moment it looks like TF is done fighting. Are you finished yet?
So,
