Ah, I remember that show. I thought it was good for a while. I thought every time they switched someone out, the show got a little bit worse.

Sliders.....


Brings back memories of my Storyhour- Strikeforce: Morituri. Sliders meets comics and Dnd. Had part 2 and 3 planned out but never happened.

Hence my handle.

And I agree after Wade left I pretty much stopped watching, but would still catch an odd episode to see what was happening in the chronology.

I never saw an episode but I kinda understand the concept. That's collected on DVD isn't it?

Because of the show, I tried to pursue a bit of shooling on quantum physics and temporal mechanics. I did fairly well (Cs) but quit the field to continue my passion for music. The music doesn't completely pay the bills, but it does help and it means I don't need to work full time.

Seasons 1 & 2, Season 3 & Season 4.

Avoid Season 4 like the plague.

Well.... I'm going to wimp out and get some sleep. My daughter has basketball practice at 8am and I'm hosting a Heroclix intro game at the house in the evening. Mix in last minute shopping for food / snacks and my day is spoken for.

Later...

Maybe not as bad as I make it out to be but after Wades' departure I pretty much lost interest in the show.

Half of the original cast has left the show by that time. And yeah, it was the Cromag season. Season 5... I've not even attempted to watch it.

But then, season 3 was the start of network meddling and it got much, much worse with the last two seasons. I think that was also the time Quinn became "Action-Quinn", whereas he was a science geek in the first seasons - and was much, much more likeable.

But then, *I* am a science geek, so YMMV!

Cheers, LT.

Invasion is a Season 2 episode. Greanted, its very close to the end of the season, but that is when they are introduced. Season 3 has some Kromagg run-ins, but not as heavily as Season 4.

By the start of Season 5 the only original slider left was Rembrandt 'The Cryin' Man' Brown.

Heya hive. Long time no see. Been busy with boyfriend and work. I might be getting a better job in the new year, which is good because this house is starting to fall apart. Don't know how much longer I can pay the rent on it for being delapidated as it is.

New job would mean having my own house and no room mates.
