Article: I must be getting old or something

I remember a time when I relished a new episode of Sliders. When I couldn't wait to see what was in store for our quartet (Of course, this was pre-Exodus). I don't know what happened. I still care very much for those old episodes and my ideas that stem from them, but every week that either a re-run or a new 4th season episode goes by, I feel myself drifting further and further away from the show. I love the concept, but I just don't feel satisfied with what the writers are giving us. I mean, come on, Net Worth was an episode without a point in my humble opinion and I still don't understand what the point was in doing this episode. I think the only episode in season 4 that I really even cared for was Lipshitz Live (It was more in tune with the off-beat comedic beginnings of some of the earlier episodes) and World Killer had a good premise, but I just don't think it used its full potiental.

I have this horrible feeling that I will one day wake up and hate this show with a passion undreamt of. I only hope this does not come to pass.

Maybe I'll get lucky and get sucked into a parallel world where the original cast is still on the show and Torme still writes episodes. I think then I could die a happy man.

Pray for me my brehtren.
