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.

Famous quotes containing the words diana and/or davis:
“I always draw a parallel between oppression by the regime and oppression by men. To me it is just the same. I always challenge men on why they react to oppression by the regime, but then they do exactly the same things to women that they criticize the regime for.”
—Sethembile N., South African black anti-apartheid activist. As quoted in Lives of Courage, ch. 19, by Diana E. H. Russell (1989)
“Before the birth of the New Woman the country was not an intellectual desert, as she is apt to suppose. There were teachers of the highest grade, and libraries, and countless circles in our towns and villages of scholarly, leisurely folk, who loved books, and music, and Nature, and lived much apart with them. The mad craze for money, which clutches at our souls to-day as la grippe does at our bodies, was hardly known then.”
—Rebecca Harding Davis (1831–1910)
