The Sci-Fi hit the Sliders takes you to a different world
every week. This show has had a lot of interesting episodes. It's
based on the premise of a small group of individuals sliding from dimension to
dimension on the same planet and time. The show started with the
characters Quinn, Wade, Professor Arturo, and the Crying Man.
This original group was perfect as it was the perfect balance
for character development. Sliders originally aired on FOX, but moved to
the SCI-FI Channel where it currently resides. The Professor was killed to be
replaced by Maggie. Then Wade was captured by the evil Cromags. The group
was then joined by Quinn's brother Collin. In the latest season, two new
characters have replaced Quinn and Collin. One character being part Quinn
and the other part Quinn's alternate.
These new guys are good actors, but it is a little strange to
have the main character Quinn Mallory, the inventor of sliding, to suddenly be
missing from the show. This show is good entertainment, but I think they
are really missing out on the excellent opportunities that the entire premise of
show offers. I really wish the show would develop their story lines
around the differences of each world. Differences like what would the
world be like if JFK was never assasinated? What if the south had won the
Civil War, Watergate never happened, the New Deal was never put in place,
Elvis became President, and on and on. The possibilities are endless. As
Rembrandt might may, It would be a crying shame if these possibilities
weren't touched on before the end of the show's run.
And might I suggest the return of the Professor? In one episode the
Professor's double gave the group a very difficult time. It was never
established with certainty that the Professor who slid was the right one.
Basically the group let the Professors fight it out ,and took the winner.
Professor Arturo brought a nice level of conflict between the characters that
was very believable. I suggest bring him back as well as the rest of the cast,
no matter how much money the SCI-FI Channel has to cough up. I am positive
that with the possibilities that this show could explore, the SCI-FI Channel is
sitting on a gold mine of ratings and aren't even aware of it.
 Quinn Mallory and his companions journey through parallel dimensions of Earth . Original. TV tie-in.
