If Sabrina isn't part of the reunion, what exactly is being reunited? What's the point of doing it at all?

I also can't say I'm too keen on a NEXT GENERATION approach considering the first generation was a complete and utter disaster in the end. I still remember the delight and joy of knowing that Quinn, Wade, Rembrandt and Arturo were the first to discover sliding and we were along for the ride on this very first outing into the multiverse. Why deprive a new generation of viewers of feeling like they too, are discovering sliding with Quinn Mallory? Why would we instead tell them that sliding has been done before in some other series they would have to grudgingly endure in order to appreciate the current series?

It'd be cool, though, if Jerry played Michael Mallory to the new Quinn Mallory. (Jerry's a bit young, but Michael Mallory's also a bit dead.)

As far as sabrina I am just thinking with her in africa it might be hard to get her to participate but if she would even better.

With a next generation series, yea you dont get to show them discovering sliding but I feel like the public would want some connection to the old show sonce it was so well known.  If you do a complete reboot you probanbly have to kiss all those 30 something male viewers who grew up watching sliders as teens away as an audience you can leverage to try out the pilot in a relaunch.

I think people want the nostaliga and the characters to continue when you seen people begging for this show to be rvived in comments on the net.  I just dont know how many would make an effort to give a complete reboot a chance thpugh it would have a chance of attracting an audience like any new show does.  We saw parrallels did great on netflix so people presumably love the multiworld concept but you also see how that was styleistically very different than our sliders. In which case it might as well be a diffwrent franchise if the style and characters are different.

I was wondering, what equipment do you guys use so it sounds like you're in the same room when you record this - despite being on opposite sides of the world.

I can't speak for Cory's equipment but basically we get on Skype, me using my iPhone and ear buds, and then I use a Shure SM 58 mic plugged into a Behringer mixer plugged into my MacMini which I record all I say into GarageBand. Cory's setup is similar I assume as he is recording HIS voice over there. Then I send him my file and he drops the two in together and edits out whatever we need edited out and adds in the music and little fun bits. He's the workhorse of this whole operation!


Got it. Makes sense. So you have two recorded audio tracks, you sync them and use skype in real-time to communicate during the recording process.

This should be pitched as a 3-4m 3 episode mini series for the summer.  With all the original cast except sabrina.  There is no way it wouldn't make financial sense.  It just needs to be done in the spirit of sharknado, etc, but not so extreme.

If sliders were to actually return as a true series, you would need a slick producer behind it who has proven they can do the modern, stylish (and ultimately more serious) stuff that sci-fi today has become. Not saying that would be better but its what tv would need. They would not want a series that was the 90s all over again.  People want to do cool now.

It would probably have a new cast and maybe jerry in a role helping the new travelers.

Really? Well, that's disappointing. Not that I ever have expected it. But the hope is always there.

Take a listen.  I cant tell if he said what he did out of a personal feeling for a revival or he floated the idea to some industry folks and they werent keen. 

He certainly was really looking at it when I spoke to him.  At that point he hadnt talked to weiss who he mentions in the interview.

The x files news on the podcast may have intrigued him too and we know jerry said a couple months ago he wants to do it.  I just think theyd have to find the right network who could deal with the style of the old show or theyd have to update it a lot in which case it loses the charm.

Imo this could happen with a push as long as jerry wants it but its best chance may be a tv movie or a summer miniseries.

Another great job!!  I love Corey's interludes, eg Wade's sassy moments, etc.

The show is great. Just keeps getting better.

He's been very active in theater.  He was doing something in Chicago the law time I saw news about him (wasn't terribly too long ago).

Ian actually has TWO sliders comics

http://www.violetmice.com/comics/

- Next World Over (which I don't think he announced here)
- PARADISE LOST: A Sliders Anthology

Ib, is it because you are in Canada - it won't accept orders?

My black lab, Rocky is going on two years without a spleen. He has some arthritis, but is in pretty good health otherwise. I think he and my other dog, Boo, are going to be depressed more than anything else since Buster is gone.

And typing that last part just about set me off again... It sucks.
But drowning my sorrows in TV shows and junk food is keeping my mind off of things for the most part.


Reddit. Hmm. That would be one of the ones that I have no idea how to use. smile

I do need to catch up on the rewatch

Okay, so I've kinda lost track of where we are with the Sliders rewatch. If someone knows which episodes we're supposed to have watched, feel free to post those updates.

The past few weeks have been hellish for me. My 14 year old dog was sick. He was put to sleep earlier today, so I'm a bit of a mess right now.

On top of that, I have the writing stress. I sent a novel out to a few beta readers and I'm waiting to see what they think of it. There are six books in this series and they all need to be prepped. I might be in over my head, but I guess it's better than not being able to write anything.

I do have some thoughts on season finales that I never got a chance to post. I think I have something written up for Arrow. If I can find that, I'll post it. If not, I will get back to it as soon as I can pull some thoughts together.


Sorry to hear about your dog sad

Sliders Rewatch has been going strong with the Sliders Fan Blog doing live tweeting, https://twitter.com/slidersfanblog, the Rewatch Podcast rewatchpodcast.podomatic.com doing recaps and reviews and SlidersCast back at it.  Reddit is also doing weekly series discussions on different topics.

Not sure if I am missing anything.

In case anyone was wondering, this was generally used as the go-to thread to discuss the podcast, SlidersCast at www.sliderscast.com -- Man, some good memories here. Ironically enough, the message board went kablooey right around the time things went off the rails for us. I had to deal with a few illnesses, a death in the family, and during all that, work was busier than it had been all year. I was slammed.

Also working against us was the fact that we had an episode recorded, the now released episode 25. We had a special guest on that episode, the very cool Ian McDuffie, who you may remember from the blog, "Think of a Roulette Wheel". Anyways, Ian had a lot to add to the episode, so it's much longer than most episodes, and we had some audio issues throughout, so it required more editing than any other episode thus far.

A perfect storm of events to cause a boatload of delays.

We're getting back into the swing of things now and should have Greatfellas up in a week or so, and we've got the Patreon bonus episodes as well. Anybody that backs us for a dollar or more gets the first bonus episode. Anybody that backs for $3 or more gets every episode we do. And in case we miss the June deadline, we'll do 2 for July. Anybody wondering what the bonus episodes are, we cover alternate universes in other shows and movies. We tackled an awesome Twilight Zone episode first, and we'll be doing that Netflix movie "Parallels" soon.

And for anyone who already watched Parallels, you might find this interesting:

Thanks Jim.  Sorry to hear about the death in the family.  Glad Sliderscast is back. Great move to bring in Ian. An incredibly creative guy.  A true warrior poet. Anyone have a link to the sliders book he did on that one episode?

We're so spoiled and lucky. Too killer podcasts.  Twenty years after the debut, fans still get to enjoy this show because of content creators like you all.

Ib, since you did such a great job with your Sliderscast minisode, it's obvious to me you'd do a great job with some spoken essays to contribute as well.  Maybe these shows can feature your perspective... and now it's time for.... yada yada.

Anyway, keep up the good work Tom!
