PILOT, PT 1
Quinn Mallory, a physics graduate student, discovers the "Holy
Grail of Physics" - travel to parallel dimensions of the same Earth.
Excited by what he's learned, Quinn contacts his friend Wade Wells
and Professor Arturo and the two of them travel through the portal
for what they think will be a four-hour journey. Turning the power
too high, they accidentally bring passer-by Rembrandt Brown with
them.
PILOT, PT 2
After escaping an ice tornado in an alternate San Francisco, Quinn
and his trio of companions find themselves in a world where the
Soviet Union has conquered America. They join the revolutionaries
in order to save Rembrandt from imprisonment and travel back to
their own world... or so they think.
FEVER
The Sliders are trapped in a disease-ravaged world in which
antibiotics were never discovered. Racing against time, they must
find a cure and escape before its too late.
LAST DAYS
The group travels to a parallel dimension where an asteroid is on a
collision course with earth, and Einstein never allowed nuclear
weapons to be created. With only 48 hours until "Doomsday" (and
72 hours until the next slide), Arturo works feverishly with
Bennish, an eccentric, yet brilliant young scientist, to recreate
Einstein's equation for the atomic bomb - but will the atomic cure
prove more deadly than an asteroid?
PRINCE OF WAILS
God Save the Queen and our Sliders in a world where England won
the Revolution and our United States of America become the British
States of America. The local Arturo has a murderous plot to end the
monarchy and the Sliders find themselves torn between supporting
the tyranny of Monarchy or the anarchy of homicide.
SUMMER OF LOVE
The Sliders find themselves in an Earth where San Francisco is still
inhabited by hippies from our 1960's - only here, Oliver North is
President, the U.S. is involved in a Vietnam-type war in Australia
and the flower children are under surveillance by the police.
Meanwhile, Rembrandt stumbles upon his childhood sweetheart and
discovers how a few decisions back home might have made his life
been better - or worse.
EGGHEADS
In this parallel dimension intellectuals are revered above those
with physical prowess. With the possibility that this Earth's Quinn
and Arturo have also unlocked the key to sliding, the our Quinn and
Arturo assume the identities of their doubles. Arturo tries to repair
the relationship with the love of his life while Quinn is forced to
compete in the scholarly equivalent of the Super Bowl.
THE WEAKER SEX
In this world, what we think of as traditional male and female roles
are reversed: men stay at home with the children and do housework
while the women have control of the corporate and political sectors.
Arturo, the group's most chauvinistic member, gets a taste of how
the "other half" lives and makes it a personal quest to crusade on
behalf of the "weaker sex" - his.
THE KING IS BACK
It's a Crying Man's World: the Sliders travel to a parallel dimension
where Rembrandt "Crying Man" Brown is as big as Elvis, but after
a mysterious "death" eight years ago, this world has had to make do
with "Crying Man" impersonators. Rembrandt discovers first-hand
the perils and pitfalls of fame as he becomes the target of the greedy
and the obsessed of this parallel Earth.
LUCK OF THE
DRAW
The Sliders travel to a parallel dimension, which at first glance
seems like paradise. Everyone is encouraged to play the lottery and
winners are treated like royalty and given anything they want. But
when Wade wins, she discovers that there is always a price to pay -
in this case, the ultimate price.
