What's wrong with Season 3 DVD's?

I've seen a lot of people complain that we might get Season 3 DVD's. Why is that?

Wouldn't you like to see David Peckinpah comment on some of Season 3's more classic episodes?

On "Exodus Pt. 2"
"Oh, here's my favorite scene. I remember we were tossing around ideas on how to kill the fat guy. And this homeless man said, 'How about you get a British colonel to suck out all his brain fluid?' It was pure genius! Funny thing about that guy: he ended up becoming the Executive Vice President at Sci-Fi."

On "Slither"
"I first got the idea for 'Slither' on a field trip to the zoo. I saw a snake, and I had a little accident. So, I thought, what if I could write an episode where really smart snakes attack people? That could REALLY scare people.

...

"Here's a piece of information few of you know. Originally, Colonel Rickman was going to turn himself into a snake and he was going to do a 25 minute rendition of 'Living on a Prayer' with half of the Go-Go's. But we had to cut that out. It was really funny with him hissing all the words, though. 'Slissings son sa Slayers' Ha ha!"

On "The Breeder"
"Kari really didn't think that Maggie was slutty enough. But I knew that we couldn't make her suddenly turn into a slut now, especially after wasting so much film with her with her clothes on. So, I went off to build a time machine to turn back time to make Maggie a slut from the beginning.

"So, 'Breeder' was what I wrote for the redux of the Sliders Pilot after my time machine was built. But that failed, and we had to put this episode in Season 3. Its sad, really, because the slut angle had so many possibilities."

On the rest of Season 3
"Ironically, we didn't write enough scripts to finish the season. So, we went to Blockbuster and rented a lot of movies. When Fox told us that we couldn't copy pornographic movies, we told the cast to improvise the episodes we had left.

"So, 'Dinoslide', 'Stoker', and 'This Slide of Paradise' are mainly just big episodes of 'Whose Line is it Anyway.'

"Oh, speaking of that. We were going to reveal at the end of the year that Rickman was really Clive Anderson and that the whole show was really just an episode of 'Whose Line'. But we couldn't break onto the 'Whose Line' set, so we went with the crazy time travel idea at the end of 'This Slide'. I think it worked out better in the end."

 

And don't forget the Season 4 DVD's.

On "Genesis"
"Brannon Braga, the genius creator of Star Trek, made a bet with me. The bet was who could completely destroy their respective franchises by throwing in strange plot lines that didn't make sense, filling the screen with the same 'alien' villain week after week, and turning it into the 'Silicone Breast Hour'.

"Safely to say, I'm not five dollars richer..."

 

ENJOY!

This is BT saying good night.

Oops, that's Danny Lux. Huh, that's weird. I was sure I heard Clive say something that sounded like 'raunch'.

Hey, I'm all for the Peckinpah commentaries. You don't get a chance to experience that degree of inanity in a DVD running commentary very often. Unless you listen to David Greenwalt wax eloquent about "Reptile Boy" over and over again on your Buffy Season Two DVDs. And who'd want to do that?

But before I forget: ROTFL! That was great, Blinker!

David Greenwalt: I got the idea for a demonic snake by watching this time travel show about magic snakes that attack people. Now what was I talking about? Oh yeah, Charisma's cleavage level. That was my idea, totally.

<sobs> No it wasn't! I stole that from the time travel show, too! I'm a total hack!

Now where we?

And now, comments on "ETAT"

BT or not BT, that is the question...

"I came up with the idea for Electric Twister Acid Test
after going out on the town with a few of my favorite marijuana cigarettes. After getting back to ym place, I flipped on my viewing tube TV thingy and what came on the screen? 'Twister!' That, and my third cigarette, gave me the inspiration to write an entire episode in homage to this lovely tale. The only difference was that in this one, they were Electric! I mean, come on, how cool is that???"

LOL, great job Blinker, as amusing as always.

<nt> for BT, too

I'm still a little confused about the handles. With Blinker hybrids, I tend to think it's Blinker. Big time apologies.

And I would've gotten away with it! If it weren't for you pesky Monkees! :-)

Yes, this was me. But I thought I needed a little star power.

Hey, it worked for me here!
