Sliders Article

Grr...Geocities or my computer one are being annoying again...it wouldn't let me type anymore on the last page. Oh well. Here's the rest of the article.

Finally, after sliding - sorry, surfing - through all these sites, click over to www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~lquinto/drinking.html for the invaluable Sliders Drinking game. Refreshingly blunt about the show’s wobbly quality ("Guzzle whenever you see some continuity, jump up and down in joy, and remember to thank God!"), the drinking game- compiled by Karen Litzau and maintained by Lloyd Quinto- reflects the true fan’s love of minutiae and sense of the absurd.

Besides, anybody who advises you to "do the Dance of Joy whenever Sliders gets cancelled and then gets renewed again" has to have a sense of humour.

Like the original Star Trek series- another low-rated SF show revived after a fan campaign, though it barely lasted another season Sliders has anchored itself in the brains of millions of fans, both on the Web and in the real world.

If all this adoration has piqued your interest, Space: The Imagination Station has acquired all 48 episodes of the series’ first three seasons and will air them in sequence four days a week beginning Mon., July 6. Check their Web site at www.spacecast.com for further information.
