Sliders (1995-2000) is a Science Fiction series created by Robert K. Weiss and Tracy Tormé that ran on Fox for three seasons and then on the Sci-Fi channel for the following two.The main character is Quinn Mallory (Jerry O'Connell) , a Brilliant, but Lazy physics student/part-time computer store clerk on a personal quest to invent an anti-gravity device. One day, his project takes an unexpected turn when his device creates a dimensional wormhole instead. After testing it out by sending in inanimate objects, he decides to try crossing it himself. He finds himself in an Alternate Universe, which looks like his own, but isn't: traffic codes are different, the planet is in danger of global cooling, and Elvis Presley is alive. The countdown on his device reaches zero, and Quinn is immediately taken back to his own world.Upon his return, Quinn realizes a double from a parallel universe has taken his place in the meantime and thrown his life into turmoil by telling off his physics professor Maximillian Arturo (John Rhys-Davies), hitting on his coworker and platonic friend Wade Welles (Sabrina Lloyd) and getting him fired. The double then reveals himself to Quinn and explains parallel universes. Before leaving, he starts giving Quinn a warning about his timing device, but doesn't finish before he is taken back. Enthusiastic about his discoveries, Quinn offers visiting Wade and Professor Arturo to take them on a tour to a parallel world, but fearing the wormhole wouldn't be able to hold three people, powers it up too much, leading it to suck in not only Quinn, Wade and Professor Arturo, but also Rembrandt Brown (Cleavant Derricks) , an R'n'B singer passing by his house on his way to sing the National Anthem at a baseball game.The foursome find themselves on a frozen world, with eight hours left on the timer. With a tornado approaching, Quinn activates the timer early, which erases his home world's coordinates and sends everyone to yet another parallel world, exactly what his double was trying to warn him about. From this point on, the four travel (or "slide") randomly across the multiverse, trying to find a way back home.It began as an Adventure Series revolving around Alternate History scenarios ("What if the US lost World War II? What if dinosaurs didn't go extinct? What if you were born the opposite sex?", etc), but Executive Meddling eventually cost the show its creative force, Tracy Torme, which led to the less-inspired episodes that borrowed heavily from popular movies. The show eventually started a Myth Arc revolving around the Kromaggs.Over the years, the series has been slowly released on DVD. Season 5 was finally released January 2012.

This Was His True Form: Tweaked in "Dragonslide". A vanquished fire-breathing dragon reverts to its (true) human wizard form as it lays dying... and then becomes an even smaller cockroach when no one is looking, allowing it to scamper away. Only to get stepped on moments later.

No Celebrities Were Harmed
 Sliders / int_1282bf4f
comment
In an early episode, a No Celebrities Were Harmed version of Mrs. Fields fell in love with Quinn in a universe which was dangerously short on men. Quinn slid off and left her pregnant. This isn't a deadbeat dad situation; she'd wanted a child for ages, and had been trying to persuade Quinn to, ahem, assist. He didn't want to just have sex with a stranger. The final scene shows that he had decided to go through with it after all...

Ms Fan Service: Maggie Becket (played by Kari Wurher) is often exploited in this regard, initially a tough nut military officer her wardrobe got steadily sexier and she would find herself tied up in her revealing underwear, so much so that some fans derisively referred to her as "boobs on patrol".

Arbitrary Skepticism
 Sliders / int_13eea985
comment
Arbitrary Skepticism: In "The Alternateville Horror", Colin claims to have seen a ghost, but is laughed off by the others for even thinking such a thing. They aren't ghosts; just doubles of the Sliders trapped on another dimensional plane as a result of a sliding mishap. Aside from the many strange things they've seen in their journeys, this is particularly ridiculous when you consider that Quinn himself was rendered ghost-like in Season 2's "Gillian of the Spirits" and could only be seen by one person. Considering that, Quinn and Rembrandt should've been more receptive to what Colin was talking about. Arturo seemed to run on this trope. Being a college professor, he was always intent on suggesting a simple, logical explanation to strange incidents. Played with in "The Other Slide of Darkness", where both Rembrandt and Maggie express disbelief in the superstitious beliefs expressed by the locals. Rembrandt's disbelief stems from a personal tragedy; Maggie's, however, is played straight, which gets her snapped at by the more-experienced Wade. Lampshaded by Rembrandt in Season 5's "Please Press One":

Season Finale
 Sliders / int_1462f0d7
comment
In another, the one with the Malthusian lottery, both Rembrandt and Wade get involved with people in that universe (or rather, someone from that universe gets involved with Wade). Rembrandt's love-interest would rather die (she's looking forward to it) than slide off, and is looking forward to his joining her; Wade's love-interest helps rescue them and slides off with them—though, since this was a Season Finale, he is dropped with only a Hand Wave at the beginning of the next season.

Nerds Are Sexy: Jerry O'Connell as Quinn, who was quite the babe magnet. But in a more literal use of the trope, they once slid into a universe where intelligence was treated with the same amount of celebrity worship as athletes, actors, or rock stars. This version of Arturo was a multi-millionaire from celebrity endorsements, and Quinn ended up participating in a hybrid quiz-show/rugby televised sport where you can score points by answering questions while holding the ball.

The Heart
 Sliders / int_1badfb3a
comment
This was played with with Maggie. At first, the show strongly averted it because she was definitely nothing like the Professor whom she replaced. However, at the start of season four once Wade left the cast Maggie showed an almost immediate change in personality (and even hairstyle) moving away from the hard vengeful militaristic unemotional woman she'd been in season three to much more compassionate and feminine role (now that Wade was no longer there to be The Heart) which was more or less a merge of hers and Wade's previous characters.

Your Mind Makes It Real: "The Dream Masters". Said group is able to enter other people's dreams and twist them into whatever horrifying nightmares they can think of. After Wade falls victim to them, the other Sliders manage to find a way to enter the dream and pull similar tricks to their advantage. After all, it's just a dream. Strangely, at the end, the bad guy is shown with his hand on fire, which happened in the dream, making one wonder where the fire came from.

Failure Is the Only Option: Goal: 'Slide' back to our dimension. This goal was actually achieved at the start of the fourth season, causing the show's jump the shark moment. There was also a much earlier instance where they were implied to get back to their own dimension... but did not realize it, and moved on to the next one.

In the grander scheme of things, the entire show turns out to be one. The original four sliders never accomplish their goal of returning home and liberating it from the Kromaggs, at least, not on screen. Three of them die and the show ends with the last surviving original slider leaping through a shabby-looking vortex towards Uncertain Doom.

 Sliders / int_2f435126
comment
The Season 1 episode "Prince of Wails" has the sliders arrive in a world where Britain won the Revolutionary War and America Is Still a Colony, now having expanded to what would be all the western States as well. Arturo's double in this world is the sinister Sheriff of San Francisco, who rules not only the city but apparently all the "western colonies" as well. He's oppressive towards the colonists, but he goes even further when he plots to have Harold, the Crown Prince, killed so he can take over as the new King, the previous King having died on the battlefields of France.

Professor Arturo, despite supposedly being a cosmologist or sometimes a more general theoretical physicist, successfully creates penicillin in an early episode (in a world where medicine was much less advanced). Later, quite unbelievably, he was capable of performing a Caesarean section on another (male) character, despite having no experience with any form of surgery, let alone such an exotic circumstance as a male pregnancy. And then there was the time he revived a deactivated android... However, each of these cases was lampshaded with dialogue about how hard and/or different from maths he found it.

Actor Allusion: In "Luck of the Draw", an episode centering around a deadly lottery, Geoff Edwards- veteran game show host (you may remember him from Treasure Hunt US, Jackpot, Starcade and The New/$40,000 Chain Reaction)- is the host of the in-universe lottery show; at the time, he had been hosting the real-life California Lottery game show, The Big Spin, since 1986. In "The Guardian", Arturo tells his younger friends, "Your generation thinks nothing of seeing Indiana Jones thirteen times. Well, I happen to feel the same way about Mozart." John Rhys-Davies, of course, played Sallah in the first and third movies. Similarly, the novelization for the first episode has Quinn mentally musing on this when he gets to Professor Arturo's class: "Slither" takes a cue from the first Anaconda movie, which Kari Wührer had a supporting role in. FOX promotional material highlighted that. In "Into the Mystic", Wade says she has a friend named "Sabrina" who's interested in the occult. Possibly unintentional, the gang crosses a high bridge above running water that looks awfully familiar. In "This Slide of Paradise", Michael York plays a doctor who has created an island of animal-human hybrids. He previously starred in an adaption of The Island of Dr Moreau, on which the episode is based.

comment
Character Development: Rembrandt. He goes from a Dirty Coward concerned only with himself to an everyman who cares for his surrogate family to Team Dad over the course of five seasons. (Being the only cast member to stay for the entire duration of the series certainly helps.) Maggie also qualifies, having gone from a callous and unsympathetic former soldier who wasn't all that welcoming to the team (or welcomed, see Cerebus Syndrome above) to far more personable and relatable by the Syfy Channel years, to the point of becoming Rembrandt's #2 to newer teammates Diana and Mallory by the final season. And just like Rembrandt, she also benefits from being the longest lasting out of all the non-original Sliders.

College Is "High School, Part 2"
 Sliders / int_414ac0d
comment
College Is "High School, Part 2": Sort of justified in that the main character is a townie who lives within commuting distance of the college class he attends in the first few episodes. However, what little we see of the college social life smacks of high school, and many of the instructor-student interactions (including the instructor showing up at a student's parents' doorstep to voice his concerns) are much more typical of high school.

Alien Sky: The episode "State Of The A.R.T." changed the color of the sky to lilac. The Ridiculously Human Robot gives it a Handwave about pollution particles— not one that makes scientific sense, but at least it was acknowledged. Later episodes brought us green skies (for worlds hidden in hyperspace), and a sky with a moon plus two additional Earths (incorrectly said to be "in syzygy.")

Ambiguous Ending: in the final episode 3 out of 4 surviving sliders are left stranded in a civilized, prosperous world where they are rich and famous celebrities whilst Rembrandt injects himself with an anti-Kromag virus and slides back to his home Earth, knowing he will free his world but having been warned by an infallible psychic that he will die as a result. The fate of all the characters is therefore left unresolved.

Smart People Know Latin: In "Eggheads", the protagonists end up in a world where being smart and well-educated is cool (they pass a punk on the street with a boombox blasting classical music). The episode's Big Bad is a mobster who constantly likes to quote phrases in Latin and gets annoyed when the others have no idea what he said. At the end of the episode, right before sliding, Quinn turns around and spouts a phrase in Latin, which turns out to be an insult.

Race Against the Clock
 Sliders / int_496569e8
comment
Every time Quinn gets access to his double's workshop or even a full laboratory. Quinn built the original timer in his basement out of a cell phone and over-the-counter equipment, so there is no reason he couldn't build a functional duplicate given just a few days (and has had several such opportunities). This would not only allow them to choose their slide window instead of the Race Against the Clock necessitated by the broke one, but in later episodes would have allowed them to slide home immediately. And to top it off, they leave their original timer (with their definite home coordinates) when it runs out. Especially bad at the start of Season 2, where they meet Quinn's double who actually has created sliding technology and has quite a great deal of experience with it, but they leave almost immediately after meeting him. Worse in the fact that he actually did get them home if they hadn't decided to give up so quickly.

Downer Ending
 Sliders / int_4e3d253b
comment
Downer Ending: "The Breeder", which has Dr. Sylvius being overtaken by the symbiote creature. As they have no time, the Sliders choose to slide out with a weakened Maggie rather than try to help the doctor. With the Sliders gone and the doctor overtaken, the symbiote is free to continue its goals unimpeded. Many fans saw this as an allegory on society's complacency towards the AIDS epidemic ravaging San Francisco, a sexually charged infection which will spread like wildfire until the public and medical science are forced to take it seriously and overcome it. "The Dying Fields": The sympathetic Humagg soldier is murdered by her lover for betraying the Kromaggs. Worse, the Sliders aren't able to save the remaining human captives and the camp stays open, meaning business will continue as usual. "Applied Physics": Diana attempts to make her double's life better with Dr. Geiger's help but, among other changes, she winds up erasing her double's daughter from existence. The team has to slide before she can set things right. "Strangers and Comrades": Rembrandt learns the quest to find Michael Mallory's anti-Kromagg weapon was all for nothing. Turns out the weapon trashed Kromagg Prime's environment a month after it was used, and it would do the same to Earth Prime. Rembrandt is left lamenting that he's run out of chances.

The Unreveal: At the end of "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome", it's never made clear which Arturo actually slid with them. Tracy Tormé finally revealed in 2009 that it was the wrong Arturo. It still leaves open the question of why did the wrong one still ended up sacrificing himself for Quinn in "The Exodus, Part 2", perhaps to make amends for his misdeeds. If the real Arturo was indeed left behind on an Earth essentially identical to his own then he is the only member of the original quartet to survive the series

Kangaroo Court: In "The Young and the Relentless", Arturo uses the expression "kangaroo court" to describe his treatment on an Earth where everyone over 30 is subject to a nightly curfew. In "Dead Man Sliding", the Sliders end up in a world where the justice system has become a Game Show and lawyers are banned. When Arturo tries to object to this attitude that Quinn may as well be convicted, the host warns him not to try any other "lawyer tricks."

Your Universe or Mine?
 Sliders / int_621b5533
comment
Your Universe or Mine?: This come up more than once. In an early episode, a No Celebrities Were Harmed version of Mrs. Fields fell in love with Quinn in a universe which was dangerously short on men. Quinn slid off and left her pregnant. This isn't a deadbeat dad situation; she'd wanted a child for ages, and had been trying to persuade Quinn to, ahem, assist. He didn't want to just have sex with a stranger. The final scene shows that he had decided to go through with it after all... In another, the one with the Malthusian lottery, both Rembrandt and Wade get involved with people in that universe (or rather, someone from that universe gets involved with Wade). Rembrandt's love-interest would rather die (she's looking forward to it) than slide off, and is looking forward to his joining her; Wade's love-interest helps rescue them and slides off with them—though, since this was a Season Finale, he is dropped with only a Hand Wave at the beginning of the next season. And in the third season, Maggie gives up an adopted universe and Quinn gives up a short trip to his home universe for each other.

Heroic Sacrifice: Arturo in "The Exodus, Part 2" (a very debatable one given the circumstances), Wade in "Requiem". In the final episode Rembrandt infects himself with a Kromag killing virus and slides back to his original Earth, knowing it will free his world even if it costs him his life and having been warned by an infallible psychic that he will inevitably die if he slides again

Antagonistic Governor
 Sliders / int_70d2bc73
comment
Antagonistic Governor: Has a few examples. The Season 1 episode "Prince of Wails" has the sliders arrive in a world where Britain won the Revolutionary War and America Is Still a Colony, now having expanded to what would be all the western States as well. Arturo's double in this world is the sinister Sheriff of San Francisco, who rules not only the city but apparently all the "western colonies" as well. He's oppressive towards the colonists, but he goes even further when he plots to have Harold, the Crown Prince, killed so he can take over as the new King, the previous King having died on the battlefields of France. A Season 2 episode has a variation. The sliders arrive in a world where The Mafia has become too powerful. The sliders discover that an election candidate for California governor, who ironically was running on an anti-mafia platform, is really on their payroll and that they plan to have California and Nevada secede from the United States to form their own mob-controlled country, as the federal government is beginning to fight back against them. The Season 4 episode "California Reich" has the heroes visit a world where Adolf Hitler apparently never rose to power, so the world here has not seen the evils of Nazism. This allows Schtick, a Hitler-like man, to seize control of California, becoming its Governor. He's already planning a run for President when the sliders arrive. Subverted in another Season 4 episode where the sliders come to a world where an economically-weakened America has been invaded by Mexico, with mixed results. The Mexicans have been pushed out of Texas, but occupy parts of southern California. To make matters even more complicated, UN troops are instated as well because the Governor of California in this world won't allow weapons inspectors in. He has local guerrilla fighters named after him ("B-1 Bobbies") and fights both the Mexican and UN forces. Since he doesn't actually appear, and the sliders are really just observers here, he doesn't really antagonize them. We also don't really hear his side of the story, his State is being invaded after all.

Idiot Ball
 Sliders / int_7286e96d
comment
A major use of the Idiot Ball was constructed by the network. Originally, the characters had to slide at the time that the timer specified or they couldn't go home. After they were forced to slide early at the start of the series (and therefore couldn’t just go home), there was no apparent reason why they didn't just slide early from then on whenever they found themselves trapped in a dangerous world (since they couldn't get lost twice). The original second episode would have established that the timer had actually been damaged and would no longer work before the timer finished but because the episode order was changed that explanation was cut. This made the characters’ insistence of hanging around until the timer completed seem rather stupid. Later, the sliders actually swapped their slider for an Egyptian one and in that episode, they left the dimension early, once again leaving themselves lost. After that, because it was the convention, they once again were stuck waiting until the timer finished with no reason given.

For Want of a Nail
 Sliders / int_79a60aec
comment
For Want Of A Nail: This was the most common plot in the first few seasons, with such universes as "Exactly like ours, but the atom bomb was never invented", "Exactly like ours but antibiotics were never invented", "Exactly like ours but one of the heroes was Elvis", etc. This plot became less common as the series progressed. This is directly referenced in one episode, wherein the device that creates the wormholes initially cannot be fixed because in this parallel Earth everyone had an almost superstitious aversion to higher technology. An early episode also showed that, had the US lost the Korean War instead of it resulting in a stalemate, the Domino Theory would become a fact and would result in the US being conquered by the USSR.

Comic-Book Adaptation: Circa Season 3, Acclaim Comics produced ten issues with various creative teams (with the eighth, Narcotica, being written by series star Jerry O'Connell). A script for an eleventh issue (plus several pages of artwork) was completed and several future ideas (including a Quantum Leap Crossover) were being developed, but declining sales led to cancellation.

Portal Slam: Vortices disappearing when people try to jump through them happens an awful lot. If it's a good guy, they'll always find another vortex. If it's a bad guy, they're usually trapped until the good guys can deal with them. Rickman, the Big Bad of season three, meets his end this way when a portal is just over a cliff. When it shuts down just as he's leaping for it, he falls to his death.

Like Holmes, "Doyle" uses keen deductive reasoning and forensic methods, has a Watson-like sidekick named Marple, who he believes Quinn to be, and even wears the classic deerstalker cap/inverness cape ensemble.

Psychic Powers

comment
Psychic Powers: In "Obsession", the sliders travel to a world where 10% of the population have various types of psychic powers, and Prime Oracle is an official Cabinet position, created by Abraham Lincoln after a psychic warned him about his impending assassination. This also includes doctors, who use their abilities to "scan" someone's body to determine the extent of injuries. This also leads to this world never inventing things like X-ray or MRI, as they simply weren't needed. Kromaggs are able to to project their thoughts into human minds, which includes things like Mind Rape and creating illusions. Strangely, the reverse isn't true (i.e. they can't read others' minds). They also possess the ability to heal others with their minds. Several episodes reveal that humans (at least some humans) can be taught some of these abilities, including healing and thought projection.

Hive Mind: Three similar worlds developed a supposed panacea in the form of genetically-engineered bacteria that repaired the body and communicated via invisible light pulses. Unfortunately, the pulses weren't limited to inside the body, resulting in everyone with the cure losing their individuality. On one world, the so-called "Believers" were persecuted and exterminated. On another, they were relegated to hippie-like communes and largely ignored. On a third, the experiment was shut down decades ago. However, Mallory reintroduces the bacteria, by drawing it from his own blood and giving it to a disabled girl, who then spreads it to others. The others manage to build a "dead man's light" device that acts as a kill switch to the bacteria and bring Mallory back.

I Hate Past Me / My Future Self and Me: "The Guardian". While not outright time-traveling, the Sliders travel to a world over a decade behind theirs. Quinn encounters his past self shortly after the death of his father, and struggles to help his younger double learn to defend himself against a bully rather than lash out in anger like he himself did.

"Not So Different" Remark
 Sliders / int_984ef9ef
comment
"Not So Different" Remark: Brought up in "The Young and the Relentless" by Arturo: "The Other Slide of Darkness" offers a noteworthy example when Quinn re-encounters his double from the first episode. He wasn't that much different from our Quinn originally, but three years later, he's been broken and hardened by great tragedy.

13 Is Unlucky
 Sliders / int_9a692ae9
comment
13 Is Unlucky: In season 1, the sliders frequently stay at the Motel 12 in room 12. However, in the episode where superstition trumps science, they are staying in room 13. They are awakened at night by a knock. They open the door to reveal someone dressed as the Grim Reaper... to serve them a subpoena.

Giant Spider

comment
Giant Spider: In the episode "Summer of Love", the Sliders first land on a world where the United States has been mostly devastated by these. A mix of a spider and wasp (yes, flying spiders the size of your head), they were genetically engineered for pest control—namely the actual killer bees... And ironically enough, a few queens escaped from the labs and suddenly the cure became a lot worse than the plague. In "Rules of the Game", one of the death traps sees Rembrandt stuck to a metal web and being threatened by three robotic spiders.

Spot the Imposter
 Sliders / int_9c6da41b
comment
Spot the Imposter: Professor Arturo meets his alternate-universe-evil-self, and with the gang about to depart forever to the next Alternate Earth, the two engage in fisticuffs and one Arturo dives through the extra-dimensional portal, which then closes, stranding the other. We're never, ever told if the team got the real Arturo or the alternate one, but he dies anyway so it probably didn't matter. It's hinted a few times in the following two episodes that they took the imposter instead (Arturo was an established football fan in previous episodes but here he wasn't) until the subplot was dropped. A later interview confirmed that they were supposed to have taken the imposter which would have been followed up had the show not gone off in the direction that it did. It was never said if it was only intended to be or if the Arturo that died was the imposter and the real one still lived.

Whole Episode Flashback: "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome" and "The Last of Eden". The latter wasn't intended as a flashback episode. Because Fox mistakenly scheduled it after "The Exodus, Part 2" in which Arturo is killed, they had Universal film a brief prologue with Wade and Rembrandt in which it's established that Wade's bothered by memories of the events of "The Last of Eden".

Left the Background Music On: Multiple occasions. When the monster attacks in the episode, "Paradise Lost", drums can be heard, presumably for dramatic effect. Except halfway into the ep, Quinn says "Do you hear that? It sounds like drums" In the Western parody "Way Out West", a fed-up Rembrandt snaps "you're really getting on my nerves" at a harmonica player just outside the window.

Bewildering Punishment
 Sliders / int_a2a8c6b6
comment
The Police Oracle identifies Arturo and Rembrandt as people who will kill Wade, so the police make a Preventative Arrest. A Bewildering Punishment to all four at first. Basically, they're taken to the station, booked, and then released. If someone were to actually commit the crime, the police would have to chase them down, but otherwise the two are free to do whatever they want. This is all a Batman Gambit by the old Prime Oracle to make sure his successor is a compassionate man in addition to already being a powerful one.

Canon Discontinuity: Season 3's "The Other Slide of Darkness" stated that Quinn's double from the first episode gave the Kromaggs the sliding equation and is responsible for the Dynasty's activities. Season 4 onward ignored this development, which some felt didn't fit into established continuity in the first place.

Alternate History Wank: Several episodes dealt with other countries becoming major world powers. The second part of the pilot had Soviet Russia, Ukraine, and So On as the dominant world power after capitalism fell. "The Prince of Wails" had the American Revolution fail, and America wound up as a part of the VERY large British Empire. Season 2's "Love Gods" featured an alternate Earth where Saddam Hussein used a bio-weapon that attacked the Y chromosome, wiping out much of the male population on that Earth. Because they were furthest from the epicenter and the least affected, Australia became the dominant world power on that Earth.

Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Professor Arturo, despite supposedly being a cosmologist or sometimes a more general theoretical physicist, successfully creates penicillin in an early episode (in a world where medicine was much less advanced). Later, quite unbelievably, he was capable of performing a Caesarean section on another (male) character, despite having no experience with any form of surgery, let alone such an exotic circumstance as a male pregnancy. And then there was the time he revived a deactivated android... However, each of these cases was lampshaded with dialogue about how hard and/or different from maths he found it. Averted with Diana in Season 5, quick to point out when asked for medical advice that she is "not that kind of doctor".

But then the "real" Rembrandt decides to really come out of his self-imposed exile, taking over from Rembrandt Prime at his comeback concert and declaring Rembrandt Prime "the greatest Rembrandt Brown impersonator in the world."

Yank the Dog's Chain: In "Into the Mystic", the Sliders have a chance to go home, think they failed, and leave—only for viewers to then see they actually were home. "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome" also involves a great deal of this trope, with the Sliders landing on a near-perfect copy of Earth Prime.

Shout-Out: In "Gillian of the Spirits", Quinn is stuck in an astral plane, making him invisible and intangible. In one scene, he is talking to the only person who can see him (the titular Gillian) in the back of a taxi, and the driver, confused, asks twice "Are you talkin' to me?" then, after Quinn gets out, he says "There's no one else here, so you must be talkin' to me!" In "Into the Mystic", Wade mentions she has a friend named Sabrina who is into witchcraft.

Unpredictable Results
 Sliders / int_c7b04681
comment
Unpredictable Results: Their own "sliding" device. In the pilot episodes, it's established that the timer was designed to send them back to their home dimension after a specified period of time. Since the first slide as a team took them to an Earth that was frozen over and a tornado was heading their way, they forced the wormhole open early and that set them on the path of random universes. The timer getting damaged in the "US lost the cold war" universe in the second half of the pilot also meant that the length of time spent in each universe was random as well. About the only thing consistent is that it drops them in a location somewhere close to the entrance point between the two dimensions they travel between. Later seasons gave them the ability to at least control when they are going to travel and which dimension they are going to. But since they don't know their home destination, they still have to travel to different dimensions sequentially to find it.

Glory Days: Rembrandt used to be a singer in a Motown band, who dumped him once they got famous. He's in the middle of staging his "big comeback" when he gets accidentally sucked into a wormhole along with the rest of the team. For the first season, he refers to himself as "The Crying Man", a nickname he acquired from his one hit song, though this becomes less and less relevant as the show goes on due to Character Development.

Tracy Tormé finally revealed in 2009 that it was the wrong Arturo. It still leaves open the question of why did the wrong one still ended up sacrificing himself for Quinn in "The Exodus, Part 2", perhaps to make amends for his misdeeds. If the real Arturo was indeed left behind on an Earth essentially identical to his own then he is the only member of the original quartet to survive the series

Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: A variation in one world as the team are horrified to find a modern California that's basically a Nazi state, complete with ethnic cleansing of minorities. When one character snaps about Hitler to some of those in charge, they're met by blank looks. It turns out that in this world, Hitler was killed in World War I and never rose to power. Thus, this Earth never "learned its lesson" with a Holocaust and ended up with one of their own.

Cerebus Syndrome
 Sliders / int_cfdb9e17
comment
Cerebus Syndrome: The last third of Season 3 is noticeably more serious and less lighthearted than the rest of the series, mainly due to Professor Arturo dying and then-unsympathetic Maggie Beckett joining the team. The impact of losing their friend keeping the remaining trio on edge, Quinn being overwhelmed with guilt for starting the adventure in the first place, and Maggie's frequent arguments with them, especially Wade, made the erstwhile team of True Companions much more disfunctional. The presence of the series' first Big Bad (the Kromaggs not being established as such at the time) also contributed to the darker mood. Some of these episodes also happen to have more nighttime or interior scenes, making the episodes visually darker.

In Spite of a Nail
 Sliders / int_d243518d
comment
In Spite of a Nail: First off, the chances of encountering doubles is next to impossible. In worlds that have a history far different than our own (as most seem to), it's unlikely your parents would ever have met. Even if they did, the chances that they would have a child identical to you is basically zero. How often have you seen parents with identical kids that aren't twins? Yet our group encounters identical versions of themselves on a regular basis. Not only that, but those doubles often hold a position of power or fame on their world. Worlds with a radically alternate history should not be so similar to ours. For example, the world in Season 3 that was conquered by ancient Egyptians should not have modern cars that look identical to ours, and neither should the Golden Gate bridge still exist...and neither should they be speaking English. Even worlds that have only a slightly different history should be radically different thanks to the Butterfly Effect. Other examples such as the universe where everything was exactly the same except that women had moustaches, and the one where the sky was purple but things were much the same until the Robot War.

comment
Limited Destination Time: Whenever our heroes are deposited in a new alternate universe they only have a certain amount of time (as indicated by their gizmo) before the portal can be opened to the next one. It is implied that missing the deadline leaves them stuck in whatever world they were in for 29.7 years, and if they activate the portal again too early (as they had to do in the pilot) it messes up the co-ordinates so they get sent to a random world rather than the one they came from, thus kicking off the whole premise of the series.

Unlimited Wardrobe: The sliders seemed to have a new wardrobe (and always plenty of money) every week, despite only ever taking one change of clothes through the wormholes between worlds. There were occasional attempts to explain this (alternate versions of the sliders have the same ATM PIN), but it still strained credibility to have every cast member show up with a whole new ensemble each week, especially since this would happen even with episodes that were set immediately after each other, leading one online fan to ask the question "what really goes on in that wormhole??"

Our Wormholes Are Different: In order to generate a wormhole, you would require energy anywhere from several megaton nuclear warheads to the equivalent of the mass of planet Jupiter converted to energy. It's hard to do that with a TV remotenote Egyptian timer, a cell phone note original timer, or a Sega Genesis controllernote Rickman's Timer.

They make it home again in "Genesis", but with the world conquered by the Kromaggs, they leave to find a weapon to defeat them.

Contrived Coincidence: You'd be hard pressed to find a show with better examples than this. First off, the chances of encountering doubles is next to impossible. In worlds that have a history far different than our own (as most seem to), it's unlikely your parents would ever have met. Even if they did, the chances that they would have a child identical to you is basically zero. How often have you seen parents with identical kids that aren't twins?

For example, the world in Season 3 that was conquered by ancient Egyptians should not have modern cars that look identical to ours, and neither should the Golden Gate bridge still exist...and neither should they be speaking English. Even worlds that have only a slightly different history should be radically different thanks to the Butterfly Effect. In "As Time Goes By", Quinn twice runs into his ex-girlfriend and her fiancé in one episode, on two separate worlds, by pure chance. In "Time Again and World", the Sliders escape one world after witnessing a murder, only to land on the exact same street on a nearly identical world in time to witness the murder again. In "The Exodus", on their second slide together, Quinn and Maggie land right in the base where Maggie's double is stationed, in time to be almost immediately captured by her. You could make a drinking game out of the amount of times the Sliders have landed right in front of Quinn's house when they arrive on a new world. Despite there being "infinite universes", the Sliders have on more than one occasion run into another slider they had already met by pure chance (Quinn's double from the Pilot in "The Other Slide of Darkness", and the Kromagg named Kolitar from the episode "Slidecage" being encountered again in "Way Out West"). To be fair: If there are "infinite universes," then there are also an infinite number of Quinns, Arturos, Rembrandts, etc. - many of whom would also be Sliders. With there being "infinite universes", the chances that they would land on Earth Prime by pure chance, like they do in mid-Season 3, is next to impossible. In "The Guardian", the Sliders land on a world identical to their own, except 12 years in the past, which is already unbelievable, but as if that weren't enough, they exit right into the funeral of Quinn's dad!

Precrime Arrest

comment
Pre Crime Arrest: In "Obsession", the main characters travel to a world where ten percent of the population have psychic powers. Among the various powers is precognition. A bit of research into the history of this world reveals that psychics became popular when one warned Abraham Lincoln about his impending assassination, allowing Booth to be captured before the attempt. The Police Oracle identifies Arturo and Rembrandt as people who will kill Wade, so the police make a Preventative Arrest. A Bewildering Punishment to all four at first. Basically, they're taken to the station, booked, and then released. If someone were to actually commit the crime, the police would have to chase them down, but otherwise the two are free to do whatever they want. This is all a Batman Gambit by the old Prime Oracle to make sure his successor is a compassionate man in addition to already being a powerful one.

Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers!: This is pretty much the Sliders' philosophy when it comes to running afoul of a bizarre rule or circumstance they had no way of knowing about. After all, it's hard for police or debt collectors to pursue you when you can jump from one Earth to another. Episodes featuring worlds where some of the inhabitants have supernatural powers will invariably have at least one person who thinks this way.

Put on a Bus to Hell
 Sliders / int_efef300
comment
Put on a Bus to Hell: According to Tracy Torme, this was what happened to Arturo. In "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome", on a world almost exactly like Earth Prime, Arturo and his less-ethical double have a fight as the wormhole opens and only one makes it through. Fans debated heavily over which Arturo slid, until Torme finally confirmed in 2009 that it was the alternate Arturo who managed to slide out. This means the real Arturo is trapped on a world not his own and separated from his friends but likely still alive, unlike the alternate one who ended up taking a bullet for Quinn. Later, Colin became "unstuck", meaning that he would involuntarily travel from one dimension to the next for the rest of his life. Dr. Geiger (a character who has experienced this before but found an "anchor") has compared this experience to being caught in a violent storm. Finally, Logan St. Clair, Quinn's Evil Half Identical Twin from another world, who was pushed into an unstable portal and never seen again. This is actually a Double Subversion, as she was intended to become a recurring villain, but like so many other story ideas, it was simply dropped and we never heard from her again (supposedly, Fox didn't consider her sexy enough and vetoed the planned arc. Notably, later that season we meet another bad Slider who becomes a recurring foe.)

Evil Twin: Numerous evil doubles. For some reason, Arturo's doubles were almost always bad news. Opposite-Sex Clone: Logan St. Clair is a female double of Quinn in "Double Cross".

Suspiciously Similar Substitute
 Sliders / int_f5a3e496
comment
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: This was played with with Maggie. At first, the show strongly averted it because she was definitely nothing like the Professor whom she replaced. However, at the start of season four once Wade left the cast Maggie showed an almost immediate change in personality (and even hairstyle) moving away from the hard vengeful militaristic unemotional woman she'd been in season three to much more compassionate and feminine role (now that Wade was no longer there to be The Heart) which was more or less a merge of hers and Wade's previous characters. Diana Davis replaces the original Quinn Mallory in season 5 as the resident scientist.

Science Is Bad: The world in "Gillian of the Spirits" came to that conclusion after Hiroshima, resulting in government-enforced stagnation. That universe's Quinn died of polio as a result of this.

Priceless Ming Vase: In the end of "In Dino Veritas", we cut away to the new world the Sliders are about to land on, and see an archaeologist at a dig site, looking all excited about "the best-preserved Allosaurus skeleton I've ever seen." It's not hard to guess what happens next...

Video Game Cruelty Potential
 Sliders / int_f87c42d4
comment
Video Game Cruelty Potential: In "A Thousand Deaths", the team arrives on a world with very advanced, holodeck-like video games. Rembrandt and Mallory play to win, but lose interest when they find all the other players are just interested in killing the VR characters. It gets worse when they discover that the designers replicated human reaction by integrating unwilling human hosts, like Maggie and Diana, into the games. Each VR death is very real and a host can be used a thousand times.

Running Gag: Rembrandt coming out of the vortex and crashing into Arturo. The protagonists often claim "we're from Canada" to explain their ignorance and confusion regarding the worlds they find themselves in. The natives always accept this as a reasonable explanation for their cluelessness.

comment
Cut Short: Cancelled at the end of its fifth season on a Cliffhanger. A Psychic tells the heroes everybody is going to die, requiring one to go on one last slide to save everything. The producers did a cliff hanger because they were hoping the fans would convince the network for another season. In-universe, the last episode is set on an Earth where Sliders is a hugely popular TV show.
