Ireactions, the above works, but would work better if Rembrandt is the key to hiding everything and he purposely has found away to stay busy in Quinn s life so that every time Quinn is talking about antigravity machine etc. Rembrandt eyes lite up in terror and he suggests other scientific endeavors ....Rembrandt and the proffessor could be the key to distracting Quinn over the years up to the point where he does start sliding again ....instead of a 2001 Quinn hiding sliding it was a Rembrandt that somehow met up with the proffessor in 2001 after the kromagg cure of the finale and they had developed this magic machine to go back in time and stop Quinn from presuming sliding past the initial test the hid the tapes and all evidence leading to sliding from Quinn to keep our Earth from going through all of the awful events sliding had brought.

Rembrandt would be a tortured soul and the guy with the experience knowing that he eliminated both the good and the bad that sliding had accomplished. ..telling himself more bad than good happened over the 5 year journey...and now that the team is forced to slide again hoping they don't make the same mistakes trying to find home...or a safe supstitite for home.

Having an Old Rembrandt preaching about the dangers of sliding to a young new crew of Sliders could work, telling them nothing good comes from that timer

It did look better than Netflix...it was not remastered, they just put black bars on the left and right of the screen since HUB is an HD network and Sliders was a standard definition show.

Universal took almost 10 years to release all 5 seasons with the finale release being the re-release of Season 1 and season 2 separately(for some reason, I'm guessing Jerry's Funny or Die skit generated some interest or maybe it is doing better on Netflix than I think.)

I'm guessing it sold good enough because  last year they released the complete series on DVD.

It has been said up converting would cost money because of all those glamorous special effects would have to be redone for blu ray

Same here I remember being in High School and seeing the adds saying the Jerry O'Connell was coming back to Fox from"My Secret Identity."  I remember going on a school trip and everyone talking about how cool the show was.  It was the fill in for P,arty Of 5, a show that wasn't doing good, was in fact ratings where so low they started airing Dr.Pepper commercials being for people to watch, then Sliders had higher ratings, but, it didn't matter as at the end of the 1st season it was canceled.

Then a year or so later its the lead into X-Files, which seemed like the perfect schedule, actually, gets picked up for year 3 on Fox, hard to believe a Sci-Fi show that's not X-Files with a 3rd year on FOX wow, But their where changes, bad Movie Rip-offs every week, with next to awful special effects, (Star Trek TNG, DS9, Babylon 5, Seaquest, this is the heyday of sci-fi).

Fox kills the Professor, then cancels the show, now we have to do the good fight to get it picked back up which Sci-Fi eventually does with the promise of the return of Torme' no more movie rip-offs possibility of the Professors return, all that was bad was because of FOX and with it being on a channel that loves Sci-Fi we would get the intelligent Season1 level show that we originally had.

It didn't happen while Season 4 was better than 3 it never hit season 1/2 levels of greatness.

Then season  5 and it was over, hung out on Sci-Fi, universal, and Fox BBoards during this time.

Experts webpage was a must read of all the things to come in the Sliders universe.

Thanks, looks good, that website has got me through the 1st year of being up at all hours of the night with 2 newborns.

Yeah it was just odd that the show up until she came on board had Jerry playing a 21 to 23 year old guy.

Where as Maggie was written with a husband and a career meaning she had been through college, military training the academy, flight school, flown enough to then get grounded making her someone with at least 10 years on Quinn then 2 episodes in she's treating Quinn as an equal.

Fighter pilots are cocky and her military expertise would have made her take command in their weird situations....again the show decided to make her an awful tracker and that she somehow slept her way to the top with Rickman

Same as most everyone else been around since the old Fox/Universal board days as either Pete5125 or Sliders5125, thought the good fight to keep Sliders on the air, followed the Experts chronicles on what spoilers where coming in the Sliders World, Was excitedly awaited the year off between Fox and Sci-Fi Years, the thought of Sci-Fi taking over the show bringing back the Professor and Tracy Torme' and then instead we got the strange season 4 that would go six new episodes then reair those six episode then air 2 more weeks then rerun another 6 or 7 episodes, Sci-Fi Monday night, Sci-Fi found a way to run over a years time 18 episodes airing the first 6 at least six or seven times before Sci-Fi 2.0, where they used the last 4 episodes of season4 to lead into season 5's finale season.

Oh yeah, the question, I don't know anyone on the board, but it and earthprime helped me get through having 2 toddlers over the last 2 years and sleepless nights trying to get newborns to sleep...fun times, plus college, etc. life

If jerry is game a  series that picks up much Later staring him as an older quinn surching for his home picking up a group along the way. Could even be season 3 quinn explaining that maggie became a liability since she couldnt breath on some worlds. Meaning season 4 and 5 hpened just wasnt our team. He could evem ecplain he has been home and just continues to slide till he screws up and gets a new team lost in the multiuniversee

I find it a fun read never judge anyone by it.  Hurts more that none of my wisdom survived from back in the day.
