The Fourth Season Machine



by Dorky



Season Four



what if u flew to a paralel uinverse where dorky and david plech n pah were unstuck? what if dorky was funny? and what if the unstuck dorky/plech turned into meatloaf and wrote episodes?

Touching drama:

3 days later, the sliders enter L.A., and decides to go to a coffee shop for breakfast, as Maggie begins to read the news paper, Remmy tells Colin, he hasn't had good pancakes since he left home. Then Quinn says that his mom use to make them for him as a kid, and Colin told them he never had pancakes before, so Remmy ordered him some too, and Colin was willing to try them.

Comprehensive alternate histories:

"Well back in '42 Germany attacked most of central europe, and even my own country Spain, then they attacked the U.S., and now in the late 90's here we are".

Action:

Colin speaks up by telling the man, he shouldn't do these kinds of things but the man told Colin to shut up, and then kicked him in the face, and Colin shut up.

Romance:

As morning came Quinn woke, and knew he was still acting as his double, Daelin kissed him, and they had sex, and after that she went down for coffee and he got into the shower, and went down to breakfast in a dark blue suit, and Daelin told him he looked attractive, but then he sat and ate.

...and hard SF:

"you guys must be out of towners, its been like this ever since the asteroid hit a nuclear power plant nearby, and with it being so hot, no one has slept in, I say at least 45 years."

Prepare for adventures beyond imagination. You are entering... the Fourth Season Machine.

Looking Backwards: Another Retrospective





Season Five



So, the Sliders' encounters with Hitler, sex-starved Amazon Kromaggs and generally horrible grammar weren't enough? Hang on for the mind-blowing follow-up season, highlights of which include Remmy sleeping with Colin's female double and a guest shot by Pamela Anderson as Wade. All this, and we find out who the Robed Man from the S4 pilot REALLY was: Cristi Conway from "Timecop." Bring Gravol.

Tender moments:

As Laura opens the door, she see's Jacob and a woman in the shower making love "excuse me"... "uh sure, I'll be right out"

Ruminations on the nature of Sliding:

"did anyone just notice this, but that same man on his bike just rode past here, and that same woman was at the counter, when we walked in" Remmy comments "she might be someone that eats alot" Quinn says.

...and forays into the Undiscovered Country:

"that was weird, I thought I died for a second, but I just have a headache"

The Fourth Season Machine's Season Five. 'Cause you can't get too much of a bad thing.

Season Six



You thought he'd given up. You thought we'd never hear from Jacob, Laura, Sara, Mr. Dansforth, and the whole crazy gang again. Never to cringe at another gratuitous breakfast scene inserted as useless filler...

Well, you HOPED, anyway. Nevertheless, the Pokejedservo of the Sliders world is back for more.

Kinky sex:

"yeah, its warm and soft to eat." Shauna states in a sexualized manner.

"um.... sure, why not." Joe says.

Prostitution:

"sure, its always the women to get the jobs. Fine, if we have to be whores, you will have to get the job in the next world."

"deal." Quinn states.

And yet MORE kinky sex:

"yeah sure, love this idea, how would you like yogurt down your pants!"

Dorky's Season Six. It's okay, dude... you can stop now.

Hey, where are you going? We aren't finished YET. We still don't know how recently Rembrandt has enjoyed the delicious succor of ribs, whether El Sid was a marijuana fiend, or what Sliders would be like if Wade turned into Alicia Witt from "Cybill."

Such are the issues raised by Dorky's other sixth season, which picks up from "The Seer."

In case you're wondering, it sucks too.

Season Seven



The author's imagination is at the top of its game...

"Hey, look guys, theres going to be a concert in the San Francisco Green Gate Bridge Park. And look who the band is"

"Wade Welles and The Rock Stars"

The speculative history is up to its usual high calibre...

"I guess this world's Concord Hotel is backwards from the ones we usually go to. Instead of going to the front desk on the left side, we must go to the one on the right side"

...and the dialogue is at its naturalistic best:

"You mean that woman is Quinn's double? Thats funny" Joe and Laura start laughing, but stop when Quinn exits the bathroom and joins them.

"I would agree that it's funny"

Dorky's Season Seven. Because what other fanfic would feature Kate Moss, God, and Dirk Benedict as a talking bear?

Meanwhile, Dorky's other series on the USA network is churning out, if this is even possible, the worst episodes yet. From his carefully disguised homages to other franchises...

A large cubed vessel closens in by them and contacts the scouting vessel with an audio message only, with their message "We are the Borg, you will be assimulated, resistance is crucial to your well being"

... to his radical new take on Colin...

Colin tells the guy that he really is enjoying it, since it was his first time, but wonders why a man must stick his pickle up another guy's butt. The man tells Colin that was the only possible way to have sex.

...to Maggie's ongoing application of her military training...

Maggie runs into the area, yelling out that she was here to party, and starts dancing, while touching herself all over her body, and soon begins undressing. The men get interested while the women are surprised of this new situation but still watch.

...these stories constitute an altogether new kind of low. Enjoy!

Season Eight



More showers! More breakfasts!

By the following morning, as the sliders begin to awake and move around, Joel returns from his morning jog and tells the others that after his shower he would meet them in the dining room downstairs for breakfast.

More of Colin's naïveté!

Wade stops a couple of kids on bikes, near the sidewalk they are on, asking where the local library was. The boy points that it was two blocks straight ahead, but would need money since he was asked a question. Colin gives the kid a twenty, but the kid tells Colin that he was a joke and rides off with his friend, crumpling up the bill, and dropping the twenty on the ground and Colin bends down to get it, placing it back in his wallet.

More of Colin's naïveté with regards to breakfast!

Colin asks the chief if he had anymore food to eat since he hates skipping breakfast. The chief states that he could eat some bark, since that never hurt anyone. Colin heads to a tree and pulls off a piece of bark; before Colin takes a bite, the chief laughs, telling Colin that he was trying out humor and tosses him some jerky, with Colin smiling and then taking a bite out of some real food.

Why, it can only mean that Dorky's eighth season is underway! Somebody, please, shoot me.

While coding these pages, I listened to the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Savage Garden, The Offspring, and the insistent nagging of my own conscience that I was doing something horribly, horribly wrong.
