Article: Another Net Worthy observation

OK, it really isn't that worthy but I had some time to kill today and I forgot to mention it earlier:

Two of the sliders were seen in a way I've never seen them before (at least not before the 5th season) -- wearing berets!!

Maggie looked like a thin, beautiful version of Monica Lewinsky in hers, and Rembrandt resembled Samuel L. Jackson when he still had hair. What's the deal? Were our heroes previously on a world in which you had to wear a beret in order to fit into society? If that were the case, then it didn't take the Mallory brothers too long to lose their fancy hats...

I`ve often wondered as to the nature of each style the sliders have for each episode. When I saw the preview of "Net Worth," I figured that the shiny shirt Maggie wore and the berets worn by her and Rembrandt were acquired in the "on-line" world. From the episode, we see that this is not true. However, I believe that the nature of such clothes were not as important to the producers as it was to dress the crew according to the "on-line" world. I remember a not so recent episode that opens with the sliders traversing through the jungle in "safari" clothes which you automatically assume to accompany the scene. However, without a mall or clothes store, you wonder where these came from. Thus, in "Net Worth," I believe Maggie`s style (which she looked quite good in) was only used to intensify the environment of the on-line world.
