SL4: I'm getting REALLY SICK of hearing this >:-#-ing message!!!!!!!!!!!!

DDG: Because of high volume, BBoard is currently unavailable.
Please try again in a few minutes.

SL4: What high volume????? I'll bet more people visit Blinker's website in one day than visit our board, and I've NEVER seen his site clogged because of too much traffic!

TBH: That's not entirely true. There was that one time his site was unavailable for eons it seemed.

SL4: My point is, slidersweb.net does not have the backing of an ENTIRE CABLE CHANNEL. If they can handle traffic what the >:-# is up with this high volume crap?

DDG: Because of high volume, BBoard is currently unavailable.

SL4: I'll bet they sold half their server capacity to LegoSex.com. I was wondering how those people stay online.

DDG: Because of high volume, BBoard is ... Lego Intercourse, you say? Here, watch the door, I'll be right back! <runs to cybercafe down the corridor>

SL4: Come on fellows, let's riff. :-P

The Seer - Part VII

MAGGIE (beat) : Does this make sense?

SL4: It makes about as much sense as RandomJudgement's inarticulate horrendously misspelled 2am syphilitic ramblings.

It does, but it seems of little consequence.

TBH: Gee, what a shock. Maggie'd been better off talking about the time she accidentally flushed her poodle down the toilet.

MRS. MALLORY: Ever since I last saw him almost two years ago I waited for the day when we'd be together again.

HTWD: Talking to him even though he wasn't there, just like I do with my husband.

MRS. MALLORY: More than anything I wanted him to have a normal life. I wanted to know the girl he would someday marry... see grandchildren.

SL4: You'll have to go to Love Gods world to see his grandchildren.

TBH: How would they be HER grandchildren if he's not really her son?

MRS. MALLORY: Now I would settle for holding him in my arms one last time. That's never going to happen, is it?

HTWD: Just look for where they're shooting some sexist Z movie about raging hormones, you'll find him.

MAGGIE (this is tough) : No, it's not.

SL4: Kari Wuher needed to be told "this is tough" ? She couldn't divine that from the dialogue?

TIME CUT TO:
EXT. STREET
There is a group of Sliders fans having a vigil, singing "Tears in My Fro," holding hands and swaying.

TBH: This rag tag unrehearsed group still sings better than Maggie.

INT. CHANDLER SUITE - LATER
Mallory is seated on the couch. Diana is looking out the window. Remmy joins her and looks out.

HTWD: <mimicking Diana> Are the laws against public nudity relaxed on this world? <mimicking Remmy> You're just not used to groupies yet. :-P

ANGLE ON THE STREET BELOW
The singers by the front door.

SL4: <in sleepy voice> : Go away before I throw live cats on you! Some of us are trying to sleep!

PUSH IN ON
A dark sedan, parked across the street. Inside, the Attendants maintain a silent watch.

TBH: "OH. MY. GOD. Do you see that blond singer????" "Shut up, this is supposed to be a SILENT watch!"

BACK TO SCENE

HTWD: Yeah, quit wandering around, cameraman! Get back to the f-ing scene!

REMBRANDT: I haven't seen this kind of insanity since they cancelled Star Trek.

SL4: What? Oh, I'm sure he cared enough about Star Trek when he was ten years old to have noticed the insanity. Remmy's always struck me as the SF show following nerd. And by the way, SCRIPT WRITER!!! "Canceled" is spelled with one "L." Can't you afford spell check? If you're getting paid per superfluous word, you sure as hell can afford it!

DIANA: Going to be tough slipping by that crowd.

TBH: Oh yeah, I forgot the rule that you HAVE to Slide in an alley! What's wrong with Sliding in the parking garage or laundry room or something? Slip into an unused ballroom. Any place probably or hopefully not occupied in the next world.

REMBRANDT: Might be tougher getting by those goons in the car though.

HTWD: You're going ten feet to an alley to Slide! It doesn't matter who follows you, they already know you can Slide! You're going to have to try harder than this to create some false tension.

TBH: Oh! The bellhop gave me a creepy feeling! Let's make sure she doesn't see us leave!

DIANA: You think they're supposed to keep us from leaving?

HTWD: How are they going to do that from their cars? Rather than miss the Slide you'd activate the timer in your room and hope the room in the next world isn't occupied.

TBH: And since we know Claire activated the Kromagg Vortex Condom why does she bother with Mutt and Jeff anyway? If the Sliders are so famous its not like they'd be able to run and hide for long.

REMBRANDT: They sure aren't trekkies

HTWD: Again with the Star Trek references! I have a project for you! Go to your video cabinet, watch ten minutes of Remmy in The Pilot and then tell me with a straight face that man EVER watched any ep of any incarnation of Star Trek!

REMBRANDT: and I made it pretty clear to Claire that one way or another we're history. Not a problem. We'll just stay in, and slide from here.

SL4: And right into the dope and hooker party happening in this room in the next world.

DIANA: What if they come in after us?

TBH: And do what, exactly? You have to be alive and unharmed to be of any use to them.

Rembrandt considers this. She may have a point.

HTWD: That moron uses the word "machine" after the acronym "ATM," what kind of point is she capable of making?

MALLORY: Will Mrs. Mallory be coming along as well?

SL4: Oooooh, that was bitchy. <whiny voice> Weel Missus Mallory bee cumming alung as wuh?

REMBRANDT: As a matter of fact, if it weren't for the unknown danger I would say yes. She's family.

TBH: Hmmmm. So she's the foster mother of a man who isn't with the group any longer except for haunting Mallory's mind, only Remmy has ever properly met her and that was only briefly ... and that makes her family?

MALLORY: You too?

HTWD: Get over yourself. People aren't waking up in the morning wondering if you'll make up with Mrs. Mallory.

REMBRANDT: I'm not just talking about your family.

SL4: How could you? Mallory never said a word about his family. HIS mother could have been a circus dwarf for all we know.
