Sliders
Sliders is probably my second favorite sci-fi show. Well, as long as you're talking about seasons 1-4. I quit watching, as much, in season 5. I have almost all of the episodes taped. Eggheads is one of my favorites, if not the favorite. I don't have as many quotes as I do ST quotes, but give me a while, I'll keep gathering them.
"You can take a man's body and beat it, you can take his soul and try it, but to do this to a hamburger... it's just downright unkind." -Cleavant Derricks
"Don't look at me! I'm just a Chicken McNugget; you're the Quarter Pounder." -Cleavant Derricks
"Via Carinis, Anandum." -Jerry O'Connell
So long, suckers
Star Trek
I have been watching Star Trek since before The Next Generation piloted. My uncle has a great love of sci-fi and he passed it on to me. I wish they would make more quality shows. Thank God for syndication.
