D (in annoying game show host voice): Welcome to our show, NAME THAT SLIDE, where we see who can guess which episode of Sliders we're discussing in the fewest words. Today's guests: hailing from Missing the Point, Idaho, here is... EXEC!

(The studio audience, made up of Sliders BBoard members, mostly boos, except for a guy in a Crocodile Dundee hat who applauds.)

Exec: Thanks, trapperben!

HunterD: And here is our other contestant, the living encyclopedia of Sliders... TemporalFlux!

(TF walks out to MASSIVE cheers.)

D: Exec, you won our coin toss; let's see how you do. In how many words can you NAME THAT SLIDE?

Exec: 10.

TF: I can name it in 5.

Exec: I'll name it in 3.

TF: I'll name it in 2.

Exec: I'll name it in 1!

D: Well since we can't go any lower than that, Exec, here is that slide: "Chong."

Exec: Sole Survivors.

BZZZZ

D: Sorry, wrong answer.

Exec: But... it had creepy monsters!

D: TF, can you name that slide?

TF: Stoker.

D: Correct! TF now has 50 dollars. Now for our next slide. TF, in how many words can you name that slide?

TF: 5.

Exec: I'll name it in 3.

TF: Let's see.

D: Okay, for 100 bucks, "A Killer Religion."

Exec: Prophets and Loss!

D: CORRECT! Now Exec, for 500 smackers, in how many words can you "Name that Slide"?

Exec: Gimme 4.

TF: Name that slide.

D: "Evil loser harrasses Wade."

Someone from the audience: PECKINPAH!!!

D: Sorry, we're looking for episodes of the show, not real life. Exec?

Exec: Dream Masters.

(Exec's score is accordingly augmented.)

D: Looks like it's time for our final question. For the grand prize of ONE MILLION dollars, and a vacation with any three Playboy Playmates of his choice... Exec, in how many words can you NAME THAT SLIDE?

Exec: 3.

TF (smiling): Name that slide.

D: Nanotechs in Water.

(Exec looks befuddled as they wait, and wait and wait...and about 15 minutes later:)

Exec: There where never any nanotechs in Sliders.

(We hear a collective groan and smacking sound as EVERYONE but ben in the audience groans and slaps their foreheads.)

D: TF?

TF: New Gods For Old.

D: And TF is tonight's winner, taking home 1 million and 50 dollars AND a vacation with three Playboy Playmates!

Exec: What about MY prizes?

D: Just a minute.

(D escorts TF off the stage.)

D: Here they come.

(Suddenly about 50 deer run across the stage, trampling Exec.)

D: And here are your 500 smackers!

(A huge lineup forms, leading up to the stage. Blinker walks up first and smacks Exec.)

D: That's one! Well folks, we're out of time... (slapping sound) That's two, so 'til next time... (slapping sound) That's three, this is NAME THAT SLIDE! (slapping sound) That's four, only 496 to go!
