You won't find one here. I watched acouple of episodes. I liked the premise,
sliding between alternate realities, but I couldn't stand the lack of thinking
the writers did. They would change some major aspects of society and then
everything else would stay the same. <bleah> It was so obviously wrong that
I lost interest real quick.

Even minor changes back in time would produce major changes in the present,
really major changes would produce an entirely different world. It just
wasn't well thought out.

In response to #1:  I would agree that at times the writing has been pretty
weak.  I have some information that I hope may change your mind about Sliders.
The word I've gotten is that FOX will be cancelling the show and that
Paramount will be picking it up to run in syndication, much like they did with
Star Trek "TNG".  Here's hoping.

Well from what I understand Paramount has bought the rights to Sliders and
will be revamping the show possibly with new characters also. After reading
what I wrote before, I can certainly understand how it could of been
confusing.
anyway  everything that i've heard is just hearsay anyway.
I assume the BIG BOYS and the networks will  do what it takes to make money.

My guess is that the fate of Quinn was entirely dependent on whether the
actor who played him decided to sign for another season. Or whether the 
network made a final decision on whether to dump him. As it was, they solved
the whole problem by just dumping the whole show. No great loss, IMO.

Please, you people wouldn't know a quality television show if it
climbed up in your lap and called you Daddy.
Similar to Twin Peaks, Sliders, had it continued, would have provided
itself limitless stories through the bais of its plot....Furthermore,
the fate of the main character will always remain a mystery

"quality television show"??? Gag, if you think that's what Sliders was, you
need to get out more. It had enormous gaping plot holes big enough to
drive Zeppilins through. Yes, the format "would have provided itself
limitless stories", but if all those stories are as badly made as the other
ones, you're still got dreck. *Quality* is what counts, not quantity.

         i enjoyed Sliders, but the concept beyond it was nowhere coming
close to original.  True, it doesn't live up to the immortal Star Trek 
series, or Babylon 5, but that doesn't mean it's not worth watching.  The other
two shows are merely examples of what good science fiction should be.
        Besides, after VR5, Fox's Sliders was a welcome relief.  Now, if they
would just take the X-files off the air.

First To Shawn Landis
X-Files rules.......accept that or die.
Second....When did Fox decide to renew Sliders and for how many episodes.
Third....Sliders is proof that the people can make a difference
FOurth...Compatrinf VR5 to Sliders is apples and oranges...Sliders being
        oranges since it had appeal
Fifth...If only network execs would bring back My So-called life
Ho well, FOx brought back the critic fromABC

 X-files stinks, and I'm prepared to bring out my fireballs, disintegrates
Lightning Bolts, and the Roman Legions to prove my point. Comprende?
   Second, Slider's was good, but it wasn't that good.  It was a little
juvenile compared to Star Trek or B5, and appealed to lower life forms who
couldn't understand the complexity of the other two series.  
    If you read Dune, you'd probably criticize that too, and praise the Hobbit,
perhaps *the* dumbest book I have ever read.
        As for as VR5 goes, it wasn't its people, it was simply BAD science
fiction.

Is Strange Luck canceled? Or did they just move it to a new slot?
I liked that show, it was just weird enough and *different* enough
to keep my attention. _Sliders_ on the other hand, is a joke. The
concept is that they are moving between alternate realities, but every
show I saw was so full of inconsistencies, illogical actions, and just
plain bad ideas, that there was no way I could buy into the concept.
The main problem I had was that they would propose "Ok, in this reality
XXX has been changed", but they would only consider the most trivial and
surface ramifications of what *else* would be different if XXX was different.
30 seconds of thought was always enough to show that they had completely
failed to think through this week's concept.
