Oh. Well, I'd suggest you get in touch with Matt. That was really before my time. Also, I am not a SLIDERS historian. I am a SLIDERS fanfic writer.

I think at this point, we're all historians here.

While I'm still here, does anyone have a copy of Brad Linaweaver's "Sliders: The Classic Episodes" handy? Mine's in storage (whoops!) and I need a scan of the Tormé interview in there.

I thought that Paul Jackson quote came from Matt having some conversations with Jackson which Matt elected to put into various entries of the episode guides rather than writing up a full interview.

That's definitely what that appears to be.
If I can get confirmation on that (or... a full transcript (wishing upon a star)), I can just cite that for the book.

okay it's time for "the next one," let's see if y'all can help me before i start trudging through the internet archive:
i'm working on the "Double Cross" essay,
and i'm looking for A) a scan of the sliders section described in this TV Guide Fall Preview (as quoted on the EP capsule):

"What ever became of Logan St. Clair? According to the September 1996 TV Guide Fall Preview, Logan was definitely created to be a recurring character/villain. Yet she never appeared in another episode of the series."

and B) where this interview with Paul Jackson came from:

“Fox killed Logan because they didn’t think she was ‘hot’ enough,” says writer Paul Jackson. “Another smart network move, yes? She was a great character and we had just started to think about her return (obviously she was coming back!) when they told us to forget it.

“We had foreseen as many as two more eps with her: one where she returns and confronts Quinn head on and one where she actually changes her loyalties and dies trying to save ‘herself’ (Quinn). Sadly, it was never meant to be.”

thank y'all once again in advance.

P.S. lmao this line:

"For the record, the staff at Earth Prime all think Zoe is hot."

Well, you can get the next one.

Also, while looking, I noticed that Sabrina Lloyd's "The Girl With Something Extra" interview ( https://earthprime.com/articles/the-gir … ing-extra/ ) describes her pre-SLIDERS career where she starred in an movie on HBO where she plays a teenaged lesbian who wants to go with her girlfriend to prom. That was actually an episode of an anthology TV show, not a film, and you can see the episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjPG0QVsFdI&t

oh my god she's just like me fr

Let us know when the book is out!

I have been really busy, and been stalled on my own epub production for my stuff. I'm glad one of us is making progress.

Ah, great!
I had that one earmarked for John Rhys-Davies' sassy-ass quotes, not Sabrina. Thank you!

The book still has a long way to go (it's, uh, 548 pages at current count... uh oh), but I'm trying to truck along! Hopefully by the 30th Anniversary, but who knows!

Hey y'all!
Annie Fish here. I'm working on the last edits for the book version of Think of a Roulette Wheel, and I'm trying to find the source of this quote from Sabrina Lloyd re: "Time Again & World"—

”I’ve noticed the difference in Wade already — she is being written much stronger this year. In the very first episode, she saves the day. It’s something I really wanted, and it made me realize my voice was being heard, that the writers believed in me. Through these adventures, I think she has become a bit of a wild woman. She’s getting more and more daring. 

“I think she’s much more comfortable in her sexuality now. She has really changed. I think she’s one of the strongest characters in the show in the sense that she knows what she wants, she’s a fighter. She now goes into these parallel worlds and tries to help when she can, and learns from the experiences. Before I think she was more of an observer.”

When I try to look up this quote online, I'm only getting hits on EarthPrime's "The Inside Slide" (which doesn't say where she said this), and my own blog (lol).

Thanks in advance. I'll probably be back here a few times with posts like these— I'm trying to not have a book full of "it says on Dimension of Continuity that ____", you know?

this is wild. i've—we've all— spent so much time with the thing this man created, to me it felt like he'd always be there at the edge of it. i've written literally hundreds of thousands of words about sliders and i feel speechless right now. RIP, and a huge thank you. i'm forever in debt to his big, weird thing.

well yes, i know what a series bible is— i'm just unfamiliar with this exact document. who compiled this? why does it look like it's copy/pasted from fan sites? which fansites and who did that? was this used by anyone on the show? where did it come from?

I've got other things to prioritize; that's why you haven't seen updates to Earth Prime even though I've got plenty to share. The audience isn't there.

wait hold on i want to know what the updates are lmao

Well, hello!
It's been a long time since I've posted here (I did "Think of a Roulette Wheel," lol).
Anyways, it's the Big Anniversary tomorrow, and I wanted to at least mark the occasion with something, anything.
I had been working, sort of, very slowly, working on making Think of a Roulette Wheel into a book, with updated essays and fresh takes on some old faves. I technically am still working on it, but who knows when of if I'll actually finish it. I'm feeling a little exhausted on the topic of our old friend Sliders, a little bit like I've said all I need to.

But! I wanted to at least put up a lil' something for the event, for all y'all keeping the flame ALIVE!

So here's the New & Improved, Revised Season One of Think of a Roulette Wheel, Better, Longer, Stronger—

Enjoy! Love on ya! See you in five for the big 3-0!

hey y'all
ian mcduffie here, back and bigga and betta than eva! jk, but also im here to plug a friend of mine's kickstarter for the latest volume of his series of critical essays on doctor who, this one covering the 7th doctor's stories.

why post here on the sliders board? because i am actually going to have a guest essay in it, talking about Sliders and its relationship with 90s cult sci-fi, how that relates to Who at the time, and why Sliders is better than it could have possibly been.

so give it a look, the series is a must-read if you dig Who, and i promise my sliders
essay will be as good as always wink

Whoa, hey guys! Long time!
I got wind ireactions was posting about my huge collection of comics devoted to Paradise Lost, and that it didn't exist on the internet anymore, and I thought I'd poke back in to fix some links!
I've got a new webstore, and it's biggah and bettah than evah, which is why the old link doesn't work anymore! Here's PL:

Next World Over isn't strictly Sliders related, but it *is* my take on a parallel world concept, and is basically to comics what Parallels is to Netflix: a new stab at Sliders for the 2010s! Here's that link:
