This man is a treasure. He really understood the potential of Sliders. As it stands, it’s the most underrated, and under-utilised, sci-fi show of all time. And if any show deserves to be brought back, rebooted or continued in some way, it’s Sliders. So glad it’s in the works.

@rafetizer Год назад

I don't think it's in the works. Where did you hear that?

@Sig509 5 месяцев назад

Earth: Final Conflict is also a good example of a mostly forgotten show today, which had a great premise, strong season 1, and later fell apart due to lack of direction, and bad cast changes. Sliders is fun up to the point where Arturo leaves. Later on it goes downhill. Sure, there are still decen episodes, but season 5 is a complete trash. After Wade leaves, it is just over, even if Mallory is for a bit more time. Rembrant is OK, but he can not carry the show by himself

@waynefilkins8394 4 месяца назад

I remember flipping through the channels and every time I saw sliders I was just like "YES" lol. There were a few shows that once you saw they were on, ya just had to watch. A lot of shows back then were very mediocre.

He really is The Professor. I used to watch Sliders as a teenager back when it came out. Recently, I watched the first 3 seasons again with my sons. The original 4 characters were great and the original premise and early episodes were fantastic.

It really is a limitless show.

Been on a John Rhys kick recently after hearing him on the "Inside of You" podcast and listening to how energetic he can still get about past projects. I was bummed they didn't go more into "Sliders" and hope a reboot is still possible down the road. I completely agree that they should bring back the original 4 if possible, but I would prefer a more "GB: Afterlife" approach where Quinn's tech is stumbled upon by new characters and he shows up to talk about how they were lost but then eventually got back and maybe split up. That way they don't need to bother any actors that don't want to come back and can leave their characters with the satisfying story-ending that at least they got back to their Earth eventually.

When was the last time you saw a remake that wasn't a shadow of its former self? That era of television is irreproducible. Even with an optimal team of writers, producers and directors trying to be faithful to the original production values, it would just seem out of place in 2023. It would be obvious that they are doing a "throwback" or "retro" cliche. Sliders was a TV show that existed in the 1990's. It's permanently bound to that era. It's not some thing that you can resurrect and bring back to life and "make better". It's finished, it's over. That style of television is never coming back. What you're doing is like trying to bring back a dead son from the grave or something. Even if you could, it wouldn't be the same. It would be weird.

I thought the the first season show was absolutely great as a nerdy teenager, especially when it appears they pretty much unknowingly had slid back to their own dimension before sliding out again in one of those episodes. There was hope that the writers had a plan for them to get back (this was before I found out that writers actually write the TV show while the season is still airing). As an engineer today that actually budgets my personal time, I don't think I could rewatch the show. I'd have to fast forward to all the key plot scenes...and knowing it was all for nothing with no real ending- I can't rewatch it.

@IndelacioLetsPlay 4 месяца назад

It certainly would be interesting to see them fix the problems they made, my theory the seer saw that the next world they would reunite with the correct arturo not the fake one that replaced him and died and they would go and rescue wade finally because rembrant was more interested in saving her than the new cast. Arturo would come up with some brilliant scientific way to restore the lost version of quinn that got collided and merged with the new guy (somehow) but doing that leaves the other new ones on the seer world and probably the new quinn there too and probably draws the original quin through a vortex seperating him? I don't know how they would just get quinn and leave the other new ones to reuinite the original 4 otherwise, but the original 4 were best 4.

@enilenis Год назад

John Rhys Davies was the favorite character on the show, and it was such a shock, when he was killed off. Sabrina Lloyd's departure was over a known feud with Kari Wuhrer, so when in the plot they dangled the possibility of Wade's rescue, it all felt cheap. Everyone knew that people who left, weren't coming back. If the show got rebooted, I'd still be re-watching the original. First 3 seasons were good, but it's best to pretend, that the last 2 didn't exist. Like Professor says - they had something there. A potential to have a new Star Trek, and they blew it.

@OneGaurdian Год назад

Yeah, if it were me rebooting the show I'd just completely ignore the last two seasons(sorry Charflie O'Connel), reveal that the Professor who was killed was, in fact, the double who tried to steal the credit for inventing sliding, and maybe Quinn and Wade have a kid who comes sliding with them(that relationship felt like a dangling carrot). I would also revisit the character of Logan St Cloud, and the fact that the government of their world was trying to figure out what happened to them, and how sliding works.

It's weird that we have so many time travel shows but so few parallel universe ones. You'd think studios would jump at the chance of being able to reuse the same actors and locations. Sliders not only pioneered how it should be done but hit it out of the park on first try, like Back to the Future did. And the word "slider" has since been used as a term for dimension-hopping traveler in other sci-fi.
