The Hunters Review
Since I am not usually one who sums up my opinion on Sliders EPs I decided
to do one, covering all of S4 and thus far of S5, I'm not useing the
stars and all, just saying what i think
Genisis-THE most F**ked up episode in Sliders history, I mean it changes
where Quinn is from,kills Wade,turns Remmy into the MAGGS MUST DIE type
and changes EarthPrime from our earth to another one. Simply the overall
stupidest episode of Sliders.
Prophets & Loss I admit I enjoyed a little of this ep, the idea
of the Religious Right takeover was funny. But was it EVER explained
WHY they were killing all these people? not to my satisfaction anyway.
Silly ep
Common Ground- A decent ep, for season 4 anyway. I liked the "Wade
Wannabe" girl.
Virtual World, I hate it in comics when it is an "imaginary Story"
so Sliders is no different.
World Killer- One of the better episodes of this season. I'll give it
to them for the 1st part, but WHY did we need a "Big Boss"
guy? It was stupid and served no purpose.
Oh Brother Where Art Thou-It introduced the single most stupid and annoying
Slider ever, Colin. Need i say anything more?
Just Say Yes - OK this was silly everyone medicated, the "Beaver
family" wannabe Colin & Maggie, not to mention the "Super
Soldier" guy.
Alternaville Horror-1st Problem, Colin was a major part of this ep.
The only good and orig things where the doubles. I like the idea somewere
Remmy is a genius, and i gotta say it JOC makes a good obnoxious Jerk
(not that it took any "Acting" whatsoever)
Slidecage-Good ep, I like the peace finally made between them at the
end, and adding to the idea not all Maggs are evil. I didn't care for
the adopted son or the guy in the walls myself
Asylum-It was ok, but really the friend of maggs doctor, and remmy just
leaving her turned me off. And Humans learning Magg technuiqes, dont
that go against EVERYTHING we knew about the Maggs?
California Reich-I liked the try at confronting raceism, but have seen
it better done many times.
Dying Feilds-OK, we finally saw humaggs, other than that it was entirely
predictable, good part was seeing the older sister from Alex Mack.
Lipschitz Live- Although i think it should have been called "Springer
runs America" It was funny, and i loved the "Met my female
double" "Did you have sex with her" bit.(althought I
wish we really DID know the answer) the fake Slider was funny too.
Mother & Child-Do I even have to say anything? A try at emotion
that failed miserably.
Net Worth- haves vs have nots, 2 lovers who are seperated forever, Anyone
ever seen this before? Yeah i have too and done much better.
Slide By Wire-return of S3 Maggie, only as a double.
Data World-When you have a Midget as your hero you KNOW you are in trouble
Way Out West/I hate Westerns, but it had some good humor. One of the
best of season 4
my Brothers Keeper-JOC plays a good idiot, a role he returned too when
he quit sliders. a pretty good ep, but still not as good as most of
Season 5 (IMO)
Chasm-What the hell were they thinking?
Roads Taken-I still say it was the best ep of season 4. but that isnt
saying much
Revelations-Oh brother, another one of sliders Stupidest eps, What makes
me even more mad is how good the 1st idea was. Nice work totally forgetting
about Wade and showing what a jerk S4 Quinn was. And the acting of Jerry
proved he was just waiting to leave.
S5-------------------------------------
Unstuck Man-A decent way of handleing Quinn & Colinleaving, anything
that got rid of Colin is a plus. Mallory may not have been the best
idea, but it was either that or Remmy saying "Well things sure
have changed since we lost old Q-ball & Farmboy
Applied Physics-Good ep, an ep of sliders that actually made you think,
something nothing in S5 did.
Stranger & Comerades-Could have been done much better, i give points
to Tembi cause playing Shell Shcoked it tough.
The Great WOrk-The bad script
New Gods For Old-Best ep since Arturo left, made you think, and for
once did things with a grey area, not just balck & white, right
& Wrong.
Press 1-Good ep, possible real future.(ever read the bible, it was more
or less what the bible says will take place during the tribulation)
Current Affair-VERY funny episode, great play on the Clinton Scandle.
Good to see some actors from old fav shows (Alien nation-Weird Science)
Java Jive-Remmy sang, so it goes in my good book.
Return of maggie Beckett-Great ep, kari did some good acting. And I
loved The Leader.
Requim-Sad episode, but good one,I like how it left open for the return
of Wade.
Map Of The Mind- an OK ep, if they had just made the inventor a depressed
guy, taken out his daughter,Diana Telekinesis and her "one with
the universe" stuff it would have been much better.
