I'm still haunted by that episode where he goes to check if they got home, and the gate didn't squeek, so they slide away, and it cuts to the mum thanking a handy man for fixing the gate..... It's so sad, because they just never got to go home really...

One of the most memorable scenes, right up there with the episode with the two Arturos where at the end they are fighting, and one of them gets left behind and looks around like "oh shit!" and it's implied that the wrong one slid. (In fact a few writers and the showrunner Tracy Torme have said in interviews that in their minds, the 'wrong' Arturo slid with the group

I believe it was confirmed by the former showrunner that it was intended for the Arturo who ended up dying was the “other” Arturo from the Azure Gate world. Contrary to what fans say that Arturo wasn’t evil, just avaricious and haunted by not following his Quinn when he had the chance I’ve always wondered about the mossed opportunity to bring JRD’s character back in a new series that would be more along the lines of the first season. Oh well..

Tracey Torme whi created the show ledt due to interference from thd network who wanted episodic television based on what was hot at movies hence sliding on a dinosaur world or vampire nonsens or making Quin an action hero as opposed to the Reed Richards genius child prodigy. Tracey wanted arcs and add bad sliders to the group one to be played by Negan. The network shot it down. Thiz show jumpshark in tge most painful way still the guardian episode might be the best shark jumping ever.

Oh, I ADORED "Sliders". It was one of the shows me and my Brother (he passed away in 2011 at 34) in the 90s. We watched all the now classics. "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", "Star Trek: Voyager", "Highlander the series", "Friends" and so many more. I HAVE SO MANY precious memories. "Sliders" as a concept, was fantastic. But, of course, being Fox they had (maybe still?) a habit of putting ratings over quality? Although, you could apply that to most networks and companies? In fact, one of my prized items, is the 2 part "Sliders" comic Jerry wrote. And, they did a TV version as "Just say YES". Science Fiction is, and always has been, a great way, of commenting on real life issues OR the possibilities of the future that WILL happen. Science fiction is the realm of what is to be. NOT what can never happen. The original cast were amazing. So, to hear there was a lot of negatives for them to make the show, is very sad. I hope all of them have learned and moved on from the downsides to have happy memories. Like they gave me when I was a teenager. Feels so long ago now, and YET, still part of me all these years later. Peace and love to everyone here, David

Ah, how simply *wonderful*! It makes a Yank happy to have insomnia so I can catch your new video. Two of my most favorite things, a new STAM FINE video about a favorite TV show - Sliders. Your acerbic wit and dry assessment of these aging series, and then hone in on something every fan of the series at hand would love is extraordinary. 🎉 You sir are an artist. Please continue in your wonderful unique creative way. I’m here for it. And Sliders had the best damned premise at a time in programming where it’s not a streaming miniseries or cancelled after the first season. It’s precious that the series was milked until the teats of the franchise withered and died. What a wild ride, and done by Fox… They were solid. I’m a guy in the NE US, early 50’s. All this stuff is candy for my GenX soul. You even serve gaps in my knowledge where I don’t have the patience or time to digest directly. ❤

The 'kromags' were a terrible mistake. The backward running world/universe was the most fascinating episode. The one wherein the worst storyline, Quinn wanting to save some woman from minor harm, leads to the entire universe collapsing as our sliders bail. The thesis of the backward moving time relative to our sliders was a brilliant concept, albeit handled only adequately.

I had an idea to revive this show like a decade ago, when it might have worked. It would have picked up where the series left off, Remmy going through the portal "Home". We'd see a few flashed of that event, and flash to the current day, it's Rembrandt, he's in a mind manipulation chamber, he's older, and disheveled. He's seemingly been there a long time. The Cromags from their first encounter can be scene in blurred images of his vision. Basically, they never got away from the original Cromags, they've been running him through fake scenarios to learn everything they can about him and how he functions. Would have erased a ton of missteps, and could have been him trying to find out what happened to the others.

As time goes by, it doesn't feel any less gross. Really hard to have fun cowboy episodes when you have that hanging over it. That and the writing/budget getting worse didn't help. I remember checking in to see how it was going. Quinn, Charlie, Wade and the Professor all suffer horrible fates. At least the professor had a good death scene.

the episode where Arturo takes credit for sliding ends with a strong implication the imposter slid with them. i kinda wish there was an episode that had really addressed it. Also, i heard before the show almost was renewed or technically was for a moment before being recancelled for the budget to go to another show or something? its a shame we didn't get to see the cliffhanger resolved as it would further led to more great scenes for Cleavant as Remy. his character development and the actor really shined all the way through to the end

Sliders is the ultimate example of a good show being absolutely RUINED by behind-the-scenes meddling. The way they treated Wade and Sabrina Lloyd was horrible. As a teen girl at the time, watching the smart girl get shoved out of the way so the "hot" girl could take her place was really demoralizing.

There are two huge reasons I would want to travel to other dimensions. The cancellation of the 2005 TV series SURFACE after one season and the Star Wars sequels. In my opinion, once Davies was gone the show went dowwwwwwwwwnhill! "Give the fraudeulent nature of this man's claims, I suggest a response that harkens back to our childhoods." "Run! Run like Hell!"

Seasons 1, 2 were superior to 3, 4 and 5. I think the firing of John Rhys-Davies killed the show. I loved Sabrina Lloyd as Wade. Those 2 exits, and numerous cast changes, Kromaggs were the death nail. I remember getting letters published in Xpose magazine about the show and other 90s TV Sci-Fi. Good days to look back on, and I moved to Ireland in 1993, but still remember the 6pm midweek BBC Two screenings, and later seasons on RTE. I have seasons 1-3 on DVD, and occasionally binge watch the show. Couldn't really connect with the last two seasons, and so was probably fortunate in that regard. Good to know, there are fans of the show out there in significant numbers too. Reboots are now commonplace, but since the sad passing of Tracy Torne, I think that will only happen in a parallel universe?

I can't remember how many series of Sliders BBC2 in the UK showed, 🤔 but I can only remember the one, because by 1995, I could legally go to the pub, so a fair amount of TV took a back seat by this time! 🤭

Actually technically, opening a portal to an alternate Earth doesn't result in sliding, it's more like a rift or opening and you just walk through it, don't ask how I know, I just do, but damn it was a hassle to fix that handheld device when it broke.

Seasons one and two are the best with a more philosophical writing approach and great characters with nice development and chemistry. However, once Fox decided season three had to be dumbed down and have more sex appeal, the show went majorly downhill. This led to losing both Arturo and Wade as a consequence, which was practically fatal. I will give Sci-Fi Channel credit at the time for doing their best to fix the mess with the new storyline with the brother in season four. It wasn’t great, but sort of got it back on its feel until they literally lost Quinn, the main character, and his brother, so the story was destroyed again. Impossible to fix, season five might have been alright had it been its own show, but as another season of Sliders it was dead on arrival and leaves us with an awkward end that was unimaginable at the beginning of the show. Fox wasted and destroyed what could have continued to be a great series in the hopes “the masses” would watch and get aroused over Wuhrer’s ass-ets while enduring lame action-oriented stories.
