Sure. No science in a sci-fi show. Perhaps we should have more episodes
featuring Grandpa Mallory and his campfire stories about how they used to
press wine with their feet in his days, and how kids today have it easy with
cell phones and airplanes.

"Why, in my days we didn't have no fancy areoplanes. We had to run to
Europe. And it wasn't easy, what with all that ocean water and all. Blah
blah blah ... "

How about an entire episode where they're all fishing quietly by a nice
lake? Or they can all learn to bake bread - and, *oh boy*, the fun won't
stop there! We can have an entire "I Love Lucy" type episode where they all
throw white flour in eachother's faces! That should have 'em glued to the
screen like smack addicts!

Since they still come and go using the timer that still makes it science
fiction.

I think your missing the point of what the poster was trying to get across. I
may be wrong here but I think that he wants which I agree with is that since
the show is sit in the present day that the science-fiction should be more in
line with X-Files type of feel to the show instead of a futuristic Star Trek
type of feel were the science -fiction part is more fantasy than reality.
Walking Robots,Smart Snakes and all types of crap introduced back in year 3
doesn't fit with the Sliders universe created in year one and two. Also having
Quinn's mind stuck in someone and having some kind of Bliss drink were some
things introduced this year which just wasn't all that realistic. The show
should stay in more realistic type of worlds that could actually have happened
to our world had something went differently in our history. Like America still
being a bunch of Britsh colonies or the Nazi America worlds are realistic types
I like seeing on the show.

No thats not what i meant
Ok lets try this again

I liked Java Jive Cuz It didn't deal with The timer being broken or stuff like
that. I do like scifi stuff. I was just happy to see an episode that Didn't
deal with that

Aunt Bea grinning with motherly charm: Would you boys like a piece? Now
isn't that a tasty pie.


[Aunt Bea had a very adult sense of humor on the set of the show. Griffith
hated the constant innuendoes she made. In a scene that appears in the show,
she offers some pie (like above) and Griffith has a vary sour expression on
his face. Sweet Aunt Bea had placed a trimmed pic from Playboy??? in the pie
pan. When she took out a piece of pie, the other "pie was clearly visible to
everyone nearby, except the audience. ]
