Re: SLIDERS REUNION PANEL FAN X UTAH
Yep, that's the YouTube guy I spoke to yesterday. I'm at work but will watch when I get home.
PS: FanX themselves often post professionally edited panels but it can take weeks.

Re: SLIDERS REUNION PANEL FAN X UTAH
I loved it. I'm someone who has heard EVERYTHING these guys have said about the show. But there was a lot there from their own backgrounds and such that made it very enjoyable. I was very enthused to hear them admit they were at the con to begin to drum up interest in a return of the series! I've been telling Jerry he should be doing these cons for awhile now.

It was incredible

Re: SLIDERS REUNION PANEL FAN X UTAH
Thanks for the links. Great to see that SLC did indeed professionally edit and release that panel video!
St. Louis was pretty similar to the first one, but I think there's a lot more open honesty from Cleavant and John about the BTS on the show, and the process of bringing a series to TV. Great panel and watch.

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.
Re: SLIDERS REUNION PANEL FAN X UTAH
Yeah, but that contest wasn't to write actual episodes of the actual show.
