I have no idea what ur talking about ....

now back to the professor

 

[Asmiley]

he was in lotr? I saw it three times.... I don't think I recognized him.... in it....

 

[Shaun]

How could you miss him three times ? He played the part of Gimli, you know the dwarf

 

[Asmiley]

Really? Must have been the makeup cuz I soo didn't recognize him.

 

[Shaun]

I probably only noticed him because I knew who all the actors were in the main roles.

 

[Asmiley]

Well still That is really cool.

I liked that actor in other films such as 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' too.

They were called Kromaggs. I liked the Kromagg concept in that one episode when we were first introduced to them, but it was a big mistake to devote the entire season 4 to them. It definitely put the final nail into the Sliders coffin.

Yeah well when Quin merged that did it for me. I sorta tuned in and out of it for maybe a few more eps and that was it.

 

[Shaun]

I stopped watching halfway through the episode where Quinn was merged. That was the final straw for me.
I really missed the Professor aswell

 

[Prophet4Profit]

To me the merging of Quinn was not quite the last nail in the coffin... more like dancing on the grave

 

[Shaun]

LOL, good point

Maybe we should start a list of all the great things Professor Arturo has done in his travels (to stay on topic). Like the penicillin thing and presidential elections.

When he was hypnotised by that watch in the Jack the ripper ep He broke it and so snapped out of it in the nic of time.

I have to say that I didn't realise Gimli (in LOTR) was John Rhys-Davies either. He was only about 5ft tall, had a beard and other make-up -- at least that's my excuse.

It was only after I'd seen the film and I found out he was a star -- someone said a 'Sliders' movie would be more likely because of the increased star-profile he would now have -- I thought *he starred in it??* and worked it out.

 

[Asmiley]

LOL. Yeah.:rolly2:

You know something that's really funny? I've missed that episode EVERY SINGLE time it's aired. I caught the last 10 minutes of it once and I never did get how the professor and Jack the ripper ended up connected. Even if I read about it in the episode guides it's still not the same as having seen it. I didn't see "The Lottery" episode with Wade until a repeat was shown in the 3rd or 4th season.

 

[Asmiley]

Really? Oh wow. It was a great ep. I'm sorry you missed it. I hope you get to see it someday.

And the Lottery ep was great tooo but this is a thread for the professer more.

I vaguely remember the Jack the Ripper episode, but I remember it being cool . The Professor was Sherlock Holmes, I think, or at least a Sherlock Holmes-type character. So, he did most of the work in solving the Ripper's crime. And as a whole, the episode had a cool tone to it while still staying true to the characters and the series . Though it kind of sucked--as I recall--that Wade was more of a damsel-in-distress here than in other episodes.
