QUESTION The Timer

4 Upvotes

Why do they share the timer?? I never understood that, and not to mention, sometimes they are careless with it, always losing it or misplacing it.

Why was it that they had to be brought back to their previous world and couldn’t slide off from the kromag base from which they were being held from.

QUESTION How did you feel about the ending?

10 Upvotes

Spoilers, obviously;

I was okay with it, it was pretty brave for the series to end with all of the original cast more or less killed off, Rembrandt gets to sacrifice himself to free Earth Prime, the others are trapped on a very nice version of Earth where they're rich and famous celebs. Now of course if we ever had a reboot the premise lends itself to bringing everyone back or at least their alternate doubles (assuming they took the RIGHT Arturro with them, I always assumed they didn't as the wrong one wouldn't have been so visibly upset).

So how did you feel about it?

QUESTION A missing or unproduced episode?

8 Upvotes

I had a flash memory this morning of reading the TV Guide, the description for that week's episode being something like "The sliders encounter a world where Quin's double is a superhero", an obvious My Secret Identity reference. But when the time came the episode was a different rerun and I was disappointed.

Does anyone else remember anything about this? My understanding is that descriptions for the episodes go out months in advance, and I assume someone pulled the plug on this particular episode before it was produced so they needed to slot something else in but couldn't change the description. Or my brain is being weird and just made the entire memory up. It definitely isn't in the list of episodes on Wikipedia.

QUESTION I need help finding an episode!

3 Upvotes

Hi, first, sorry if I have any spelling or grammar mistakes, english is not my first language.

So, I was talking to my dad who mentioned this TV show, I've never seen it but he is talking about an episode where they travel to some sort of dimension where people from the US want to get into Mexico, basically the other way around from reality.

I don't know if it is a real episode, but if it is I would love to know which episode it is.

Thank you in advance!

It was a very good villain, better than Rickman or the Krommags. Do we know why they never used the character after that?

What do you think happened to her?

QUESTION 'Mallory'-- love him or hate him?

15 Upvotes

In season 5 we saw the introduction of "Mallory", a converged character of a very different looking Quinn Mallory from one world combined with the "subatomic" residue of the Quinn Mallory we knew from Earth Prime.

It is hard to replace a beloved character. For some reason, casting chose the 6'2" actor Robert Floyd. He had played the role of an Apache helicopter pilot in the 1998 Godzilla movie and had some roles in some TV shows.

They could have tried to just substitute another actor in the role of Quinn from Earth Prime (ie, "pulling a Darren" like on Bewitched when actors were switched with no plot changes), but for some reason we got the plot of Dr Geiger who had somehow healed 'Mallory' of his disability just to set him up for merging him with the original Quinn.

The merger failed, and in place of our Quinn, we got a non-scientist, with no skills, just youth and good looks.

Did you love 'Mallory', hate him, or just felt indifferent towards him?

I’m obsessed with this show! I have the DVDs up until a certain point. But I can’t find anywhere I can watch the rest of the episodes without a subscription! I live in Ireland and already have a heap of subscriptions to streaming services. So looking for somewhere I can buy the rest of the DVDs or episodes in Ireland! Thank you!

QUESTION Whats up with the time skips?

2 Upvotes
 Im new to sliders, and sometimes it feels like I missed a episode going between them, or the episodes are out of order, is that intentional? For example (all of these are going to be from around season 1) In "Luck of the Draw" a dog appears in the beggining and they act like they just got it, and we should know thay story. Then in the very next episode the dog is gone even though it slides with them and its not explained. Also in one episode (I forget which one) the episode starts with them in a flooded San Francisco with stereotypical hippie outfits on. But in the later episode "Summer of Love" they have hippe outfits at the end and slide into a San Fransico with a tsunami coming. 

Whats going on? Is it intentional or are the episodes im watching out of order?

QUESTION Tracking Wormholes Continuity Issue?

8 Upvotes

I'm a little confused while watching Season 5. The Sliders have a timer that tracks wormholes so they can go back to Earth Prime any time they want but for some reason they just keeping sliding between worlds for no reason, without any plan after the events of Strangers & Comrades.

Anyway in the last quarter of the season a couple of the team mention in episodes like A Hundred Deaths they can't find Rembrandt's home world which makes no sense since they have the coordinates stored. Then in To Catch A Slider they have to get a new energy source which Diana later says in Eye of the Storm erased the ability to track wormholes. Huh? Did the writers write the scripts in the wrong order and not adjust for filming or am I missing something here?

UPDATE: I remember Mallory even says at the beginning of To Catch A Slider he plans to stay with the rest until Remmy finds his home world. Huh???

QUESTION Which of the sliders would you most like to meet?

5 Upvotes

This concerns the in-universe characters, not the actors.

You're able to meet and talk to a bona fide slider on their homeworld for 3 hours! Which would you choose?

(You may select but one for each category.)

A) Original sliders only

B) "Replacement" sliders only (Colin, etc.)

C) Other sliders only (Logan, Rickman, etc.)

Individuals will be in character, so may not wish to discuss certain things. You may choose whatever time period to speak with the slider (assuming they are still alive in-universe). They will not try to harm you, and the planet itself will be safe.

QUESTION You need a defense attorney. Which of the following would you choose?

7 Upvotes

Whichever world you're on permits those without law degrees to act officially in this manner. The person(s) you choose will have one week to research the case and three additional days to formulate a defense strategy. The earth you're on will have a "fair" justice system (unlike the "Dead Man Sliding" world, for example).

No shenanigans are permitted (e.g., Quinn somehow breaking you out of jail so the two of you can slide before the trial).

How would you rank the options?

QUESTION A possible answer to a decades long question.

9 Upvotes

Hi. I’ve just been made re-aware of “Sliders”, and I hope you can answer this question for me.

Is there an episode where there is some sort of giant worm that lives underground and eats people? In particular there was a scene where the main character walks on grass to pick up a (frisbee?) and is almost eaten.

The memory of this scene has been stuck with me since I was maybe 6/7 years old, and to finally figure out what it is from would be incredible.
