Dr. Diana Davis is a character from the fifth season of the science fiction show Sliders
, played by Tembi Locke
. She is a physicist
with a PhD
.
Diana Davis is a scientist who was working with scientist Dr. Oberon Geiger
in the development of sliding research. She also worked with the version of Quinn Mallory
of that alternate earth who is usually known as just "Mallory
", but he was a "guinea pig" and not a scientist.
Although Dr. Geiger had malicious intent for his research, Dr. Davis did not know that until Rembrandt Brown
and Maggie Beckett
slid onto this earth. When Dr. Davis first met Maggie and Rembrandt she thought they had intentionally invaded her and Dr. Geiger's experiment. When they explained the situation, Dr. Davis found out the reverse was true: that it was Dr. Geiger who originally interfered with Rembrandt and Maggie's vortex, and had caused Quinn Mallory
to be merged with his alternate, and Colin Mallory
to be unstuck in space-time. Dr. Davis then halted an experiment of Dr. Geiger's to collide worlds together, and had caused Dr. Geiger to become unstuck in space time, as he had been in the past. Since Mallory decided he needed to slide with Rembrandt and Maggie, Dr. Davis decided to go with them.
Dr. Davis met Oberon Geiger again in the episodes "Applied Physics" and "Eye of the Storm". In "Eye of the Storm", Dr. Davis was very distrustful of Dr. Geiger and was angry with him.
