Revisiting the show Sliders

[bdub76]

Watch Seasons 1 and 2, then bail on Sliders. You'll be doing yourself a favor

Pretty much this with the exception that I really enjoyed their Christmas episode, which is so spot on for where we have arrived with the integration of homes with shopping centers.

"Sliders" Season's Greedings (TV Episode 1996) ⭐ 7.2 | Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi

45m | TV-PG

Another approach is stick around until John Rhys-Davies leaves the show.

Yeah that Christmas episode just hits right with its message

Was that on Sliders? I don't think firearms handling accuracy was on the top of their production list.


I thought some of the guest stars were kinda hot like that doctor on Dream Masters and the other lady doctor on Just Say Yes.

also the sliders may have accidentally killed a world or two, the moment when they had landed I remember a few bugs coming out the wormhole from the previous Earth they were on and they were kind of giant, deadly and multiply fast

Yes. That was on Sliders, where Maggie is an US Marines Pilot, a fictional character Kari was playing who should have received intensive weapons training.

Even as someone who only ever saw a handful of episodes I suspected that anything prior to that point was likely to be better than anything beyond that point.

Babylon 5's Peter Jurasik is the season Long bad guy tormenting, testing and challenging the Sliders in season 5, and it is awful.

I feel bad for him, he's a great actor but really must have needed that paycheck

I'd like a reboot, if they did it right.

BUT

If they didn't do a reboot, if they had a continuation of just Seasons 1-2 while ignoring S3-S5, then you could have a situation where the Sliders missed a slide and were stuck on a particular world for 29 years.

1996 + 29 = 2025

It would line up perfectly. Everyone's moved on with their lives for the past 29 years, they've established themselves on the world they're on, and they're at point where they're wondering if they want to leave. Something would have to happen or have to have been happening to make them want to slide again. There could be a story there.

Just treat Sliders Seasons 3-5 like it was following an alternate version of those characters.

If it were just a one-time special, I'd like a what I described above. If it were an actual series, then I'd prefer a reboot.

A reboot has limitless possibilities. Imagine a world where Gore won in 2000, or if Covid was worse than it was, if Trump hadn't been elected, if the Internet didn't take off, if we had flying cars, etc., etc. etc.

A reboot with a brand new cast and someone new who finds how to make a device just like the timer
