My point is that many of the best eoisodes from season 1 and 2, such as The Weaker Sex, Eggheads, Luck of the Draw and Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome feature parallel worlds that aren't entirely outside the realm of possibility when compared to our own history. Beyond the sliding, there's no other sci-fi elements to them. Of course there are episodes like In Dino Veritas, Gillian of the Spirits, Invasion and As Time Goes By that do feature sci-fi specific plots, and those are the ones you tend to find the most flaws in.

This.
Also, the third season 2-parter (was it Exodus?), was pretty good.
Largely though, most stuff after season 2 was pretty naff.
Alternate history is sci-fi.
The question was-which eps were best?
Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome was interesting.
The one where alt Quinn moved the whole population to another Earth was good.
Frankly, I think the series was amusing overall. It was seriously flawed but tried hard to be likeable and succeeded for the most part. I think if you want hard sf you're barking up the wrong tree to start with. Just watch and have fun.
The one about the Christmas Shopping Mall was cool for what it was.
If you want serious alt hist scifi, Fringe does it better....
And no one does it right-yet. At least, not outside literature...

Agreed. When the cast members began leaving in the third season and being replaced it never was the same. Rembrandt was the only character to last the five seasons, albeit at points it looked as though he even would not make it to the series end.

Quinn couldn't move the whole population, only a few hundred. That was when the professor died.
Actors didn't start to get FIRED until season three.
Anything is better than that.
You right the cast did not start leaving until season 3.
Season 5 was just not good, except for seeing Rembrandt still surviving.
You're thinking of a different episode, "Exodus". He was talking about "World Killer".
