Fandom Entanglement interrupts their regularly scheduled programming to bring you this bonus retro review of the 90s sci-fi series Sliders as part of a special fundraiser to help fellow podcaster and friend Albie Burdge send his daughter Serenity Burdge to Space Camp in April 2026!
Maggie’s feelings for her father are tested when she lands on a world where her double was a famous astronaut… and her father is responsible for covering up her death.
Damon Sugameli and Mike Bloxam team up with Albie Burdge (STATION 823 | TREKSPLORATION), Christopher DeFilippis (TREKSPLORATION), Stacie Wilcox (KORMAN PRODUCTIONS DEEP DIVE TV PODCAST), and Matt Hutaff as they temporarily go out of sequence to discuss one of the tail-end episodes of the series. Before that, Matt shares some of his experience attending Space Camp when he was younger.
We also go a bit off-course with some Quantum Leap talk (which is to be expected when a bunch of experienced Leap-heads gather together): namely, trying to determine if Maggie’s father (General Thomas Beckett) is indeed the older brother of a certain time-traveling scientist from another universe. But we ultimately course-correct our trajectory to get back into Season Five shenanigans. Chris also provides his signature tongue-in-cheek episode recap as we delve into the pros and cons of not only the episode but the post-O’Connell Brothers era in general. It’s a sneak peek into the future of Sliders and where we’re eventually headed. But no worries, we’ll revisit the episode proper at some point later in time. Until then, we hope you enjoy our analysis and review!
