I slinked onto the TCM App and gave this a watch. It's a good late 70's style thriller, and Bujold is very good in it. Didn't really remind me much of any Sliders episodes although like TF said My Brother's Keeper but this one was very sinister. Much more like The Island.

Watched a movie for the first time earlier; it was featured late night on Turner Classic Movies:

I enjoyed the film (starring the original Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager - Geneviève Bujold), but this scene below makes me think of a Sliders episode for some reason):

I thought it might be “The Breeder” or “My Brother’s Keeper”; but on a quick glance, it doesn’t seem to be. It might just be my memory playing tricks, but was wondering if anyone else recognized it. Is this a hidden homage somewhere in Sliders that hasn’t been referenced?

Or maybe it just made me think of “Fever” which isn’t really the same thing:
