1x01 Sliders

Reviews

Despite minor plotting problems, Sliders is off to a rip-roaring start. I can't wait to see what they can do with this concept.
Grade: A
Tormé's "testament" to the 60s comes off remarkably strong humor-wise. Just don't expect any lasting consequences to come out of these outlandish situations.
Grade: A-
In interviews, series co-creator Tracy Tormé has talked openly about the idea of a world where the United States lost the Revolutionary War as the genesis of the show. This is his vision made manifest.
Grade: B-
It's nice to be getting away from the strict alt-American history format employed by the first few episodes. "Fever" opened up additional possibilities with its concern for the next dimension's welfare.
Grade: A-
The Doomsday Asteroid is coming in two days. The next window of opportunity is in three. It's the end of the line for the Sliders and the end of the world for everyone else. With no time remaining, Rembrandt tries to come to terms with his situation; Wade and Quinn come to terms with each other, and Arturo with... Bennish?
Grade: A
This is a comedic tour de force – it's outrageously irreverent. John Rhys-Davies shines with the spotlight on his character and the writing is crisp and cutting. I almost pity the episode that follows.
Grade: A
"Eggheads" attacks the cult of celebrity with a smart edge while placing Quinn and Arturo through the wringer morally and ethically. Where do you end and your double begin?
Grade: A
Everyone always assumed Rembrandt Brown's biggest mistake was leaving the Spinning Topps for a solo career. That is, everyone but Rembrandt.
Grade: A-
"Luck of the Draw" will profoundly change the Sliders' lives. Sliding isn't quite so safe anymore. Hell, it might even be fatal.
Grade: A+
Maybe it's nostalgia—"Into the Mystic" is the first episode of "Sliders" I watched from start to finish—but today I enjoy this episode every time I see it.
Grade: A-
"Time Again and World" is too riddled with mistakes to be considered adequate. It pains me to do it, but I can't in good faith give it a passing grade. Somebody hire an editor and try again.
Grade: C-
This episode's stunning production value really gives you the sense of being in a parallel Earth, so much so that it makes you forget the final two acts take place almost entirely in a tunnel and a cell built into a cave.
Grade: B
