Another Youtube roundup, Things 90's Sci Fi fanatics do that nobody'll ever appreciate

Everybody knows Star Trek and Star Wars geeks, it's been done. But apparently there's another type of fanatic subculture that just isn't quite as common but quite a bit weirder: People obsessed with long dead 90's Sci-Fi shows, like Seven Days, Quantum Leap, Early Edition, and my personal fave, Sliders. I'm sure everyone remembers watching Sliders slowly destroy itself in the mid to late 90's on Ch10 every Thursday at 8:30. The show's creators gradually all quit in disgust as Fox changed the show from being based on social commentary and alternate Earths to being a show about crazy looking aliens named "Kromaggs" who end up killing off all the original cast except Rembrandt. (The black guy. Remember him? Yeah, he was mad.)

For your viewing pleasure this week we present two videos, first the full, uncut 'Cry Like A Man', from the pilot episode of Sliders, apparently co-written by Australia's Paul Kelly. The second of which is a scary fan made tribute to Sliders Season 1-2, featuring a Styx song I had never heard outside of South Park.
