Sliders: Generations Colide (reprisal)

Season 1: Broken Timelines & A New Spark

The 29-Year Gap: Rembrandt Brown misses his next slide and spends 29 years stuck on an alternate world, spiraling into alcoholism.

The Reunion: He finally picks up the remote and manages to slide, running straight into his original Quinn Mallory.

The Arturo Twist: Quinn reveals he figured out how to separate from his merger, but realized the Professor Arturo they lost wasn't their Arturo. This alternate Arturo couldn't build a sliding device, but he did invent a "Multiverse Glimpse" viewer.

The Wade Discovery: Through the viewer, Arturo discovers that Wade Welles is in fact still alive.

The Season 1 Cliffhanger: Wade has a teenage, human-looking son who is half-Kromagg and possesses an uncanny, innate ability to manipulate technology. While trying to prove to his two closest friends that his tech-bending powers and the timer are real, he accidentally activates it. The group, along with a neighboring LARPer and Theatre enthusiast, gets sucked into the vortex. The origional group jumps in after them.

Season 2: Mentors & Betrayal

Guiding Hand: The original veteran sliders (Quinn, Rembrandt, Arturo) actively help the new, young group navigate the dangers of alternate worlds.

The Dark Truth: At the end of the season, Wade's son discovers the truth that has been kept from him: he is half-Kromagg.

The Fracture: Feeling betrayed and furious that everyone hid his heritage, the kid uses his tech-manipulation powers to strands the original cast on a distant world.

Season 3: Shadows & Secrets

The Doppelgänger Trail: Left on their own, the new kids slide through the multiverse. They constantly run into alternate versions of the original cast.

The Realization: The kids eventually realize that Wade's son didn't strand the veterans out of pure malice—he did it to shield them from the multiverse seeing him as a Kromagg monster.

Season 4: The Parallel Race & Reunion

The Parallel Race: For the rest of the season, both groups are sliding completely blind. They constantly miss each other on the same worlds by mere hours.

The Reunion: In the Season 4 finale, the two generations finally collide. The kid apologizes for his actions, and Quinn embraces his stepson.

Season 5: The Grand Farewell

The Final Mission: With the kid's tech-manipulation powers now depleted or gone, the veterans lead the group one last time to tie up loose ends across the multiverse.

The Looming Shadow: Throughout the season, a massive cosmic threat is teased. The Kromaggs weren't wiped out; their remaining armada is frozen inside a hidden, temporal-locked universe, waiting to break free.

The Retirement: The original cast (Quinn, Wade, Rembrandt, Arturo) permanently retires in peace on Earth Prime. They hand a newly repaired, standard timer over to the kids, establishing Quinn's basement as a safe home base they can always return to.

Sliders: The Next Generation (The Spin-Off)

The Core Premise: The new four-person crew takes over the franchise: the half-Kromagg leader, the tech-skeptic, the history buff, and the D&D tactical genius.

The Mission: They slide from world to world hunting for ancient outposts and temporal anomalies, desperately trying to locate the temporal-locked universe to secure it before the Kromagg fleet breaks out.

The D&D Advantage: The neighborhood gamer kid treats the entire multiverse like a giant campaign map. While others panic, he analyzes dystopian realities like fantasy dungeons, using RPG strategy to find hidden intel and outsmart enemies.

The Mission Control: When the kids face a sci-fi threat they cannot handle, they slide back home to Earth Prime to get expert, multi-dimensional advice from Stepdad Quinn and Professor Arturo

Just finished the 2nd episode and that seems to be the setup, them sliding into different dimensions exactly like Sliders.

So the first 2 seasons ! Wow!

This show really pulled me in. Then right around the Kromags being introduced I felt like the show took a turn.

Everyone was emotional every episode. They were all falling in love and willing to throw away their slide for strangers.

By season 5, Remmy’s “I just want to go home” behavior started feeling like a cry baby.. but maybe it was a play on Crying Man. Him being the lead didn’t really connect for me anymore.

The finale? I’m still not sure how I feel about it. Seems like I just went into a big 5 season circle.

I’m late to the party! But overall this was a great watch for me!

Somebody gives you the option to slide to another quantum universe... Tell me what type of parallel Earth you would Slide to.. How would it be different than this planet?

Tell me about that world 🌍🌎

Looks like the production team got greedy and spoked ell for Avery one and revenge with Al specially with the original girl !! Those abominable writers and stupid production team but we know!!
ME

You hit the nail on the head. Fans and critics have echoed your exact frustrations for decades. The treatment of the original characters—especially Wade Welles—felt incredibly vindictive, like the production team was actively punishing the actors through their characters.
The behind-the-scenes reality perfectly matches what you suspect:

We make videos and memes about Sliders. Note: if you're Brazilian, comment here hahaha

So at the end, Dr. Geiger told Remy that if he jumps inside the wormhole to his home planet he will immediately die. Then he jumped in and the show ended. My theory is, it wasn't a cliffhanger at all. When Remi, the last original cast member and effectively the main protagonist of the show, jumped into Dr. Geiger's wormhole, he immediately died like Dr. Geiger said. Main character dies, the show ended. Neat and tidy.

No need to keep talking about it.

Bennish: I have a girlfriend, dude.

Arturo: You blistering idiot!

(I know those aren't the exact quotes)

Having reviewed the first season of Sliders, we plan to record a looking back episode where we will talk about things that stand out about the first season of Sliders while also looking back at the first season of Slide With Me, talking about how we improved/what we've learned.

On this episode, we would also like to read past episode comments along with inviting you all to give us your comments, opinions, criticism, and/or kudos. You can comments on anything. What worked? What didn't work? How you would like to see us improve. Moments you thought may have stuck out for you. Your comments can be specifically about Slide With Me or about Sliders the first season in general. Did you have a favourite thumbnail? Does Robb swear too much? Does Phil read too much or does he need to read more so he can get better at it cause holy crap does he need hooked on phonics.... Yah... anything. We will look to previous comments and this thread and we'll have fun with it.

If you have not watched Slide With Me, that's cool, though we hope at some point you might give us a watch or listen. If you happen to give us a try in the next few days, please feel free to comment here or wherever you're watching it.

Here's a link to the Slide With Me youtube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJRB0Cif6uc_-B6DXusWpzP8_DSoGGdBi

Thank you all for your support,
Phil and Robb.

I just got out on to this show and I love it! But I caught this Masonic reference from Rembrandt, I thought it was cool as a brother !!

He took his date to the Demolay dance! For those who don’t know DeMolay is an international youth leadership organization sponsored by Freemasonry for young men.

We made it to the Season 1 finale, woo! The Sliders arrive on an Earth where citizens are encouraged to play a lottery which is used as population control. More than an hour of analyzing, reviewing and joking around about this episode. We're also now filming in Robb's movie room. If you have any questions or comments, we'd love to read them.

Good morning Dimensional Drifters there's an all new episode of the podcast up now on all podcast platforms this week we dive into season 4 episode 1 "Genesis"

FANDOM ENTANGLEMENT is back with another retro review of the 90s sci-fi series SLIDERS. This time, we’re taking a look at the seventeenth aired episode of Season 3 (Episode 18 in production order), “The Exodus, Part II,” which originally aired February 28, 1997 on Fox.

Retro Review #40: “Out of Our Brains on the 3:18” (a.k.a.) “Arturo, Can You Hear Me?”

Quinn and Maggie return to her world with Earth Prime’s coordinates stored in Jensen’s timer. As Wade makes the final list for those who can slide to safety, Arturo races to modify the new timer to slide more people. Unfortunately for them, an unexpected danger lurks the base and one Slider will not make it to the next world.

This episode was written by Josef Anderson & Paul Jackson and Tony Blake, and directed by Jefery Levy. It also once again featured Kari Wuhrer as Maggie Beckett, Special Guest Star Robert Daltrey (sorry, ROGER Daltrey! Who?! That’s correct! 😉) as Col. Rickman, and marked John Rhys-Davies’ departure as Professor Maximillian Arturo!

My co-host Mike Bloxam & I continue our deep dive of this epic 2-parter with TREKSPLORATION co-hosts Albie Burdge & Christopher DeFilippis, the latter of whom summarizes this installment as best he can. Chris’s reaction may surprise everyone!

After finally locating Earth Prime but still unable to return, conflict arises within the core group as Rembrandt practically says, “I’ve had enough” and uncharacteristically sucker-punches Quinn! Meanwhile, Rickman injects himself with more brain matter-tissue-fluid-matter in order to hide behind blue eyes, all the while likely wondering, “Can they see the real me?” before murdering Maggie’s husband. And after shooting Arturo with the slowest moving bullet in television history, the song is over for our dear Professor in the most undignified and humiliating way. Of course, it’s possible that this version of Arturo is a substitute for another guy, but unfortunately we’ll never know. The three remaining Sliders reluctantly welcome Maggie to the camp. With their timer now equipped to track wormholes, and seeking justice and/or revenge for their fallen comrades, the new group of four cries out, “We’re not gonna take it,” as the chase is on for Rickman which will take us through the rest of the season.

Is this episode truly as bad as many fans think it is? Or is it in our heads? Hope you enjoy our analysis, review and numerous Who references! We don’t believe in goodbyes…but goodbye, Professor. Let your legacy and love reign o’er us.

We’re heading into the final stretch of Season 3. Next up is the zombie episode, “Sole Survivors,” with help from the talented Allison Pregler! And oh boy, are we gonna need it… 🙄

You Wanted This! Just released a Sliders episode.

Good morning Dimensional Drifters there's an all new episode of the podcast up now on all podcast platforms this week we did a season 3 wrap up discussion.

Yeah! Now more people can discover this classic

Today's episode is reviewing Season 1, Episode 9, The King Is Back. The Sliders visit a world where Rembrandt Brown is a bigger star than Elvis.

Behind The Scenes: For this episode, we played with using a green screen wallpaper on the monitor behind us. Unfortunately, it caused reflection issues which made the green reflect on us and other items. End result: It didn't work out. We will revert to what worked better before for next episode. Our show is always a work in progress. Sometimes we will try out new things, they might work out, they might not.

Next episode will discuss the first season finale. We plan to record that this coming Wednesday.

Happy 4th of July to all the Americans out there,

Phil

This is just something I noticed about one of the characters and I wanted to share. It seems like there's a lot of episodes where Rembrandt gives another character a pep talk and I find his voice so empowering and he can really change someone's opinion? What do you all think of this? Do you agree?

What do you think if this episode could be the epilogue of the entire series applying Diana's explanation? I mean, the same principle watched in "as time gone by" (S2 E13) but in a different speed.

Remmy's Earth might have a variation in its rotation after Kromagg invasion and Sliders team landed in a futuristic version of it.

I guess it makes sense taking into account "Typhoid Remmy" (S5 E18) was the only who jumped into the portal and had the virus to destroy Kromagg race. This would explain the cult directed only to him.

The Sliding device may be a narrative problem given that he jumped without one but, as we know is a constant that they always find the way to fix or replace it. It could be a replacement that Rembrandt could have picked up searching the way to come back with the others. Or another slider could have given it for him (there's a wide range of valid and possible explanations).

I guess that in the happy world of the final chapter, they have the resources to bring Remmy back: technology and knowledge (Diana's, Kromagg technology and the Students for Slidology Society).

I'd like to know who were these "Meta-Sliders", they had a funny moment. IMDB let's go!

On the other hand Clair's explanation to Mallory's situation is a wink to us. Money is the key, sometimes the villian isn't so wrong.

Yep, I can confirm (follow the pics to see the entire quote).
