Hmmm didn't even realize there was a message system in place. I've only gone to the site to look up info.

Watched the first 6 episodes today. Definitely some time travel logic plot holes mentioned earlier in this thread, but pretty entertaining otherwise, I'm enjoying it.

Funny, right after I posted a friend posted on Facebook about the Purge movies and I definitely agree with him that Purge: Anarachy (#2) was the best of the 3. I did enjoy all of them though. But 2 should've been the original movie.

As far as movies where I prefer a sequel-

Hot Shots Part Deux (I like the first but Part Deux is near perfect spoof)

Scary Movie 3 (I like the original better than 2 but 3 is the best)

Back To the Future Part II (most super fans of the IP like part 2 the best due to the most amount of time travel and the "future" act).

Naked Gun 33 1/3 (even better than the first, but 2 1/2 is by far the worst of the 3)

I still think it's semi amazing, even with the volume of subscribers they have, that they can license so many big name shows and movies (I'd bet even Sliders isn't cheap), in addition to all the original content they've been doing.

Maggie certainly did come a long way and was a very enjoyable character by season 5, even season 4. Sometimes by season 5, it's hard to believe that she wasn't an original character.

Enjoyed the new episode! Was great to hear them at it again. Perfectly timed for me, was taking a long flight, so I downloaded it beforehand and listened on the flight. I agreed a lot more wth Jim on this episode. Although they never really go into why the world was low on resources, it certainly has that feel that this is a world struggling without them, but making the best of it. I get the impression they did have a good amount of resources at some point- otherwise things like planes and cars would've never been invented in the first place.

Can't wait to hear more! This'll be some entertaining SlidersCast episodes when the crazier Sliders episodes arrive for review!

Do they ever actually state in the show that it's 1994? I know that was the original intention, but I don't know if they ever actually said the year (I could be wrong).

Sliders certainly is tough to recommend. I've recommended it a bunch of times, only been taken up on it a few as far as I know. Netflix is missing 2 of the best episodes in season 1 (and Last Days is one of the best episodes of the series, in my opinion), which doesn't help a new viewer since they're not seeing 2 really good episodes. Most of us saw the series weekly as it came out (with an entire year break), not knowing how dark and different the series would become later (I always continued to have hope the original 4 would somehow get back together). I wonder if binge watching for the first time one would have those feelings now.

Sliders has been on Netflix for a long time, it must be popular enough on that platform for them to continue to provide it. Maybe Netflix would see the value in producing one for Netlfix, considering so many people must be watching it there.

I loved SlidersCast, and actually check their site just about every day hoping a new episode is up. I've tried the Rewatch Podcast and just couldn't get it or as much as SlidersCast. I was really looking forward to their takes on seasons 3-5. I've posted on their fb page about new episodes a bunch of months ago, was told they'd be coming, but nothing yet.

Please come back, SlidersCast!

I guess I just never thought it was too over the top, even for Sliders. A lot of shows were doing far worse than what was shown with Maggie  in the Breeder, in my opinion.

Oh ok.

I actually like Stoker. Good cast with 2 That 70s Show actors. Some decent alternate history (love the Joplin reference). Yeah it's got some "what the" moments, but it's entertaining. Decent use of Rickman in a small part.

Dinoslide is ok, I think it's important in the continuity of season 3, but is relatively boring in my opinion.

I do watch Stoker regularly during personal random Sliders episode viewings, Dinoslide not so much.

Are you suggesting that blu-rays are possibly on their way out? I never bought a blu-ray player of any kind (so never any blu-ray discs either). I figured, even if dvd's become obsolete for blu ray, they can still be played on a blu-ray player.

Hmm, that dvd case doesn't look very promising if they use a similar style. I store my seasons 1-3 Sliders discs in jewel cases due to the poor packaging design. If I would have to for the new series, that's certainly a major reason not to get them.

I think it's great that the show continues to make money and have a market for continued re releases. I own the original releases of each season (as I'm sure most of "us" do). The re release of seasons 1&2 were interesting but unnecessary to me (although I'd love for the "normal" packaging those have. I would definitely buy a re release of season 3 of it was released on single sided discs (I was hoping those would come after the re release of 1&2).
The 2014 complete series had no appeal to me other than single sided discs on season 3, but at that price, it wasn't an option.
This new release is a much better price, correct order, and includes single sided discs for season 3, but no other extras I don't already have (which is why I'm hoping for the Making of season 4 special to be included - and anything else I don't know about that hasn't been released). While I'd love to save some space and get a complete series for Sliders (which includes the original boxes and 10 jewel cases for my seasons 1-3 discs, since the original boxes are unacceptable to keep discs in), I'd probably keep the boxes for 1-3 anyway to always be reminded how laughably horrible those boxes were (also season's 5 awful cover art with Mallory as the star and both Remmy and Maggie taking a back seat).

What are the chances the "making of season 4" special will be included? My VHS tape of that off sci fi channel from its first airing is in mighty bad shape.

He was also on an episode of Young and Hungry from season 3 (the most recent season on Netflix). Had no idea, and was watching and all of the sudden, there he is, took me by surprise!

It just seems like more medication seems to be everyone's answer to everything.

Invasion was good as a one shot, or if it had taken the Kromaggs concept differently later in the series. The issue with Invasion is that if that episode didn't exist, seasons 4 and 5 could've been much different, Kromagg-less.

I would love to get a Sliders t shirt, never had one. The ones I've found online are not so great....

IDW would probably be the best comic book company to have do a Sliders comic. They are currently publishing the Back To the Future comic which, as a BTTF fan, is absolutely amazing.
The stories are excellent , the art is great, and it's published on time. BTTF is also owned by Universal.

IDW has done work with other licensed properties as well- Transformers and X - Files, for example. Sliders would be a perfect fit.

IDW also has a big reprint line- maybe they can acquire the rights to reprint the Acclaim books and then take it from there....

New episode is up! It's a "special episode", where they review "Parallels". Good to hear them back.

Thanks for the share. I'm going to look through it later.

Timecop
Home Fires
Hardball
Unhappily Ever After

Back To the Future: Animated Series was on that list until it was finally released on DVD this past October.
