They've been recapping every episode of sliders for a year now and are in season 3.

I like it and one of the hosts is a comic book writer who I had seen in the online fan community before and is knowledgeable on the series. The other had never seen the show.
One addendum was that Cleavant began pondering how they (on a reboot) could solicit "independent" story ideas. JRD then lamented and explained how the WGA works and writers' rooms work, and largely crapped on that. It was an intriguing discussion, but certainly reminiscent of the ones Informant used to have on the series of Sliders forums. About how artistic ideas are shuttered by this (at one time Ivy League boys club).
John didn't know, or forget, that the scifi.com did have a contest for fan ideas, and it wasn't very successful. But they did try to open it up to everyone for ideas.
high quality of the Utah convention!
St. LOUIS John and Cleavant
Looks like the X-Files/Ryan Coogler stuff is getting the ball rolling
It was incredible
amazing!
And they are back! Only took 30 years...
this is gonna be quite epic
This.looks interesting

This movie was insane. Especially the part with the snowman.
I am glad you liked it! Wasn't Leslie Neilsen Canadian?
And Pam Anderson is Canadian too. I guess it's in the Naked Gun DNA.
Which is funny because SLIDERS and NAKED GUN are also creatively connected. Robert K Weiss' sensibility in both.
It was nice to be in a theater where people were having fun again.

I may have asked this before but are there any Resident Alien fans on here? It's production style reminds me a bit of Sliders s1 & 2. I can't say I keep up with the show. But I watched the first season (mostly) and sometimes here and there will check out later season episodes. It's remarkable in this day and age for SyFy to have a original that is sustainable. But it's managed to squeak by.
Got canceled. They had a great run though. Four seasons for a SyFy series.
this is kinda cool

Just wanted to update and say sliders.pl notified me that Sliders the complete series is on pre-order in the UK. It will be released on June 30, 2025: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sliders-Comple … 0F3DBBK6V/. Same artwork as the region one 2014 release.
Amazing that new releases are still happening

A legend that we are lucky to have around.
Here's to more great work from him.
This has been great. It's a podcast that provides commentary tracks on DVDs and they've been doing X files episodes lately

About four years ago, I donated to this GoFundMe. I am not sure if this is allowed per forum rules (please remove if necessary), but this is as worthy of an individual as I have seen.

I cannot imagine the daunting task of having to raise $750k on the internet to safe yourself, and five years in, being 37% of that goal. It always bothers me that billionaires can't just see these fundraisers like we do, and snap their fingers and just end the person's nightmare.

She's quite gifted
Has anyone seen NBC's Siberia?
I loved this show!
Thanks for sharing this. I would like to say I'll listen to it soon... but I am really hypnotized by The Televised Podcast covering the first two seasons of BATWOMAN and the final season of SUPERGIRL right now! I will return to other podcasts after I finish this one.
It really is quite excellent!
Newer and newer technologies give me hope that we will see our foursome gang together again, with some new material. At least we won't be solely reliant on the studio and the economic model.
Happy 30th to something that has all given us comfort in what can be the difficult and often intriguing world we live in, with so many possibilities.
You’re very welcome! Hope to see you & everyone there.
Thank you. I will do so!
Compassion isn't just allowed, it's essential.
Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks. The story is heartbreaking. It's the most money i have ever given to a stranger on the internet.

Hi my fellow Sliders!
I’m so happy that we still have a sliders forum. Miss you all and our talks on what if slides.
It’s officially 30 years since the premiere of our beloved show. This also means that it’s been a year of being able to escape from being stuck in a world for missing a slide. Let’s try not to equate that to our age as we are still young!
Not sure if you remember me since I have a new name on here and it’s been years since the SYFY bboard. I used to post under Sliderkitty.
I’m inviting you to slide again this Saturday night as we rewatch the pilot. Please join us as chances are that Jerry himself will rewatch and tweet along. We do weekly rewatches on Saturday nights which gives nostalgia. We had Rob Floyd tweet and rewatch some of Season 5. JOC has rewatched too but can’t confirm if he’ll be on this Saturday yet.
Not sure how many of you have twitter (x) but here are the details:
If you only watch 1 Sliders episode this year, let this be the one. The Pilot.
The 30th Anniversary of Sliders ! Let's watch at the same time:
Saturday, March 22 @ 9pmEST.
FAQs: slidecage.com/rewatch
Use #SlidersRewatch to rewatchSlidersFanBlog is hosting but u can stream it on peacock or watch along with the dvd
Catch you on the next slide.
Very cool, thank you for letting us know!
Happy 30th as well everybody. Wow, 30.

Thanks
my heart skipped a beat
Echinacea and elderberry: For immune system boosting.
Ginseng and blueberry: For energy.
Ginger mint: Stimulating and soothing.
Thanks. On these, are there particular brands or sources you get them from?
does anyone drink specialty tea here? if so, which ones would you recommend?

I used to think I was the second biggest fan of SLIDERS in the world (TF is obviously the first since he has a collection of props), but I have to bow to someone who would retrieve a CRT television from a trash heap to watch SLIDERS.
I admit, I would probably do the same if I had space for a CRT TV in my home, but I don't.
It takes up half the room. It's definitely a sacrifce.
Speaking for myself: Episodes 2 - 9 of SLIDERS are so far gone that even a purist could not claim that the episodes in the condition that they exist in any way represent how those episodes looked on original broadcast. On a CRT television, those episodes looked sharp enough and clear enough; it's only on HDTVs that all the flaws become apartment. The other episodes of SLIDERS don't need AI upscaling or reconstruction. Using AI image generation to rebuild Episodes 2 - 9 would be reproducing an acceptable facsimile of something that otherwise does not exist. I personally would be fine with that.
When we look at the 4K AI version of TRUE LIES, it looks like a plastic abomination and an embarrassing mutilation of a film that exists in 1080p and looks just fine in 1080p. With those broken episodes of SLIDERS, there isn't really a good version to turn to, so why not rebuild it?
I literally have a CRT television just for another way to watch Sliders. Someone was throwing it away, and I jumped at it.
this is interesting

I wonder if 45 minute episodes are feasible or if this is the type of thing only equipped for short samples. But if it can realistically extrapolate what is in the image to rebuild it, and can provide a reasonable facsmile of what the 1080 content may have been then it could be a game changer for modernizing unsalvageable content.
It looks like, per Jim Hall, Topaz is going to be introducing a model that does something similar.
It looks like the algorithms are shifting from grain extrapolation to image "filling in" and while I don't know what the quality will be in the short term, I also think in the short-term something may be commercially available (or via open source like above) to actually salvage pretty fuzzy, grainless content. The future is happening faster than we could have guessed. I almost wonder if NBCUniversal would be motivated to "give in" and use this technology or it will be considered to sacrilege.
Too bad Info isn't around for this, but BUFFY'S BACK (maybe, probably) at Hulu
https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/buffy- … 236291559/
Also seems another reboot at Hulu for Prison Break. Good Lord.
is this prison break's second reboot? are we getting lapped?
this other new podcast has been very active lately
Two summers before the election I knew this was coming. The only doubt I had was after the msg rally and the subsequent erroneous Iowa poll in the final couple of weeks. The democratic party invited this future. In 2020, Biden won because people simply wanted to vote against trump. In 2024, it could have been trump or a number of other republican candidates but Biden couldn't win and Harris was not someone with a vision that would help people move off of the Biden white house's performance, particularly the last couple of years.
Shame on Biden for not transitioning after people voted him in with his promise as a one term transition president.

Officially one year. What we lost..
I wonder if studios would ever consider doing "simulated hd" blurays that use algorithm upscaling on material where true HD would be impossible or cost prohibitive.
I still can't believe how good the pilot looks with the upscaling experiment samples.
I honestly wish this could be distributed across all platforms. It's production quality.

she canceled sliders
MOD EDIT: Broken link fixed, moved to AI thread.
Very interesting with what he said using SUCCESSION as an example

https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/1 … hollywood/Ha, yes she's into "psychedelic-assisted therapy" now, and campaigned to legalize psychedelics in some manner in Mass, which did not pass. Her socials basically came to life after years of inactivity, a month ago. The career path is not a surprise, as she's wanted to go in that direction for as long as I've known her, which was partly what her mother's group was doing in Africa, minus the mushrooms. Obviously I'm happy that she's happy and seems to be going strong.
I'm glad she's independently wealthy now and could pursue her interests. At least she doesn't have the financial pressure to have to act anymore, and can explore stuff like this. It does seem like she's had quite a life.

did anyone know about this?
I would appreciate it if you would watch Season 3 and tell me what the hell is going on because I could not understand it.
Ha. Well you've always been much better on details as me.
I never finished the series when it was streaming on netflix, so I can't recall how far I got. I just remember feeling like I was watching a believable world, with fully thought out, well-constructed logic that was very much grounded in a speculative sort of reality. It didn't feel artificial or convenient. It felt real, despite the drama and the science fiction.
I'm not sure if the old Continuum thread was lost but I was pleasantly surprised to find it on tubi in the u.s. tonight. All four seasons. It has been elusive to find since leaving Netflix 6 or 7 years ago. But it's streaming for free in the u.s. now on tubi.

Must I? That's one sitcom we watched every week, that I don't think I could re-attempt now. LOL
Some may say the same thing about "The Quinn Mallory Chronicles" but we love it anyway
