Oh my god yes. I'm stuck at work and its soooooooooo sloooooow and there's nothing to do. Listening to two good friends talk about Sliders is just what I needed! (PS sorry for not sending that short story yet, taking paralegal classes and it keeps getting in the way. Will make up for it.) Oh, also this series is maybe the most fun John Rhys Davies ever had and I'm okay with that. Hail professor Maximillian Arturo!
I literally can't stop watching this show lately. I'm on like my 5th rewatch lol, once I finish I just restart. I'll try to watch something else but I just go back because I can't stop thinking about it. I love it.
1:40:40 "Prairie Oyster" is the name of a cocktail used for treating hangovers: a raw (chicken) egg, gin, tabsco, pepper. It does not refer to... that. Excellent episode! And excellent series as well :)
I just wanna say how much I appreciate your effort to have video footage for basically the entire 2:40h podcast. It's great to see the progress from the very old audio only episodes to this. Keep up the good work!
my dad plays guard #2 in the season 3 episode 10 (the man pregnant one). he plays the guard who informs lady mary that the plan to kill the king at monticello had succeeded and arturo interrupts them. when i showed him the scene he’s in he said “I have absolutely no memory of acting in that scene but that is me”
Thank you. In the 90s, on the territory of the former USSR, American serials were shown to us with a lag of 5 years, but absolutely free. And then they abruptly stopped in the early 2000s... It was a surprise to me that Americans actually pay for every episode. I even had a theory that all this was shown to us so that we, the former Soviet people, would love the United States more, and then (starting from 2014) would be more willing to die for the interests of others here in Ukraine. But, apparently, the series was not so effective. They changed strategy in 2003 and in 2013 brought their long-term work to the final... Life itself has already become like a scenario for the new Sliders. What if our own Soviet culture had not been replaced by American culture in the 90s? Would we even have military action now if we didn’t watch free American TV shows in childhood and grow up on a foreign culture? Everything has its price. But I really liked the series. Torme is a genius. 2:14:51 It was unexpected to see here a fragment of the Soviet film "Кин-Дза-Дза". It just shows the end of capitalist society. Although this is not explicitly stated anywhere in the film. All water was converted into fuel. People eat plastic porridge. They communicate using only one word "Ku" in everyday life. Listen to disgusting music. But at the same time, there are have technologies for moving between planets.
Кин-Дза-Дза is a beloved film for me. I watched it on youtube by chance many years ago and it made a great impression on me. The "cultural primordial soup" goes in both directions.
Loved the episode lads top tier as always. One small observation; a prairie oyster is a hangover cure drink consisting of Worcestershire sauce, a raw egg and hot sauce. Rocky mountain oysters are the bull testicle food
They could've had a space balls where they goto the world and watch the TV show and try to see the future but the most recent episode is always what they're currently doing
This has been my most steady channel for the last 5-6 or so years. Love every episode you put out, it's so nice seeing that notification when you guys upload!
Charlie O'Connell being on the show was in fact a favour to Jerry, or rather at that time Jerry was a producer on the show and demanded a part for his brother. This is why his character was unceremoniously ejected when Jerry left.
Great podcast, this show doesn't get enough love. One note on into the mystic. The fortune teller may have just been psychic and not mystical since psychics exist in the sliders show and can see across realities, as shown in Gillian, the people in Obsession, most Kromags and the guy from the last episode.
I used to yt videos where guy or more are talking and the visual match maybe half of the time what is being said. Sometimes just "background noise", but you match nearly every frame to your talking points and I applaud this. great work guys
The existence of seasons 4 and 5 of Sliders and Season 4 of Man in the High Castle is prpof that I may be able to write an interesting alternate history short story for you guys XD. Love the vids, hoping to finish the story as a Christmas gift for yall
I've actually started working on my own history thing cause of this channel, Just finding time to sit down and finish it and then figure out how to do fake footnotes (I already know what books I want to footnote). I mean, as for the last slider seasons and the high castle season, this stuff didn't even try to make their scifi stuff make sense.
Nice, was looking forward to this episode, after it being mentioned a bunch of times. This show is wild. Also good to see my main man at 1:35:54 you won't find better investing advice anywhere else
It’s here!!! It’s finally here!! I’ve been checking the channel everyday since the announcement!! Not only is a new Talkative History episode out but it’s almost three hours long!!!! I can’t wait to dive in. Still working on the Southern victory series. About to be done with book seven. Thank y’all for these amazing videos. Already planning a random drive that takes three hours haha.
Fun fact, when working on Star Trek Tracie Torme had to deal with a thoroughly unlikable producer named Maurice Hurley. In Sliders for the first handful of episodes there was a suspiciously similarly named character Michael Hurley (the obnoxious computer store manager) described as "A putz on every world".
I wish you covered "The Guardian" (s3/5) which is the show's best episode imho. But otherwise this talk is a gift and deserves thousands more views, it is so well made.
Thank you! We've talked about coming back and covering the Sliders episodes we missed, both good and bad. We'll probably wait a while before doing it though. Don't want people to get Sliders fatigue, lol.
In an alternate reality, Sliders continued on with the professor. Without the money Goblins getting involed, the series carried on and finished beautifully
This was a really good episode! I actually discovered sliders through this TH-cam channel and I gotta say I’m glad I did even if the last two seasons weren’t great
My best friend in highschool introduced me to the series. Showed me the pilot episode on VHS. And I was instantly hooked. Loved every single aspect of it. I thought it was going to be a mini-series. I started taping it, and eventually, I taped over everything I had, and the show was still going. And it was getting worse. By season 4 I regretted erasing all of the other shows to preserve this one.
@@bobbinsthethird Ever seen Time Trax? I used to love that show, even though it was low budget. About 12 years ago I was a technical director on a time travel show called Continuum. It's time-travel that leads to parallel realities, so something inbetween Time Trax and Stargate. Even though I worked on it, the writers were only about 3 episodes ahead of the rest of us, and we waited for their scripts like children, because we wanted to know what they came up with. And they often kept the actors in the dark, so that they wouldn't be biased towards resolution. They also wouldn't know their own fate ahead of time and therefore react naturally in difficult situations.
Hey guys! I know this will probably be buried, but I just want to say that I really have fun watching your videos and that this channel is a real hidden gem. That being said, there are some books that I highly recommend for potential future episodes: 1.) The sun will rise!: AIR WAR JAPAN 1946 volume 3, which is essentially a “what if” of a 1946 Pacific War but Japan puts all of its weird prototype aircraft into combat, and 2.) Back in the USSA, where the U.S. becomes communist in the 1920s but the central figures are real-world American figures paralleled with influential persons in the Soviet Union.
Thank you for the kind words! Alternate use of aircraft prototypes is always fun. We will look into Air War Japan. "Back in the USSA" is an intriguing idea. Matt first told me about it many years ago, he'd read at least part of it. I will check it out as well. Thank you!
There's a great German blu-ray release of Sliders, thank is thankfully region free, where they cram like 30 episodes onto one blu-ray disc, so there is only 3 blu-ray discs in the set. It is glorious. Good review/summation of the show. You got a few small things wrong, but I dug it quite a bit.
It went to shit once they left Vancouver. You lost all the best recurring characters and locations. Quinn's stoner buddy, the foreign cab driver, the shyster lawyer, the hotel owner. Hell, the hotel itself, and the park, and the university, the Mallory house, the electronics store where Quinn and Wade worked. And their boss, too, he was in a few episodes. It added to the surrealness of it.
A reboot would be cool. John Rhys-Davies is getting up there, though. Maybe a limited series about our Arturo being trapped on Earth Double Prime. They still have that in their back pocket, they don't do anything super contrived to get him back. But it should be done quickly, so the show can go back to being a show that's really about alternate histories. You have them reunite and finally make it home for real. But they've been away so long and things have changed so much it feels just as foreign to them as any of the alternate Earths. They're glad to have rediscovered home, but they go back to sliding. But this time with like a central command center on Earth Prime where they're doing a more official exploration of parallel Earths. You could even give Arturo the role of supervising this place so he can take a less active role if his age is getting to be an issue. I think I read somewhere there was once gonna be a recurring b-story about the authories on Earth Prime investigating their disappearance more, and making more of an attempt to find them. This could be an extension of that.
I am always thinking what would happen if I did things different and wish I could go back and do things different which is why this show appeals to me.
I think they should just go back to the original Arturo. It's taken him 20 years to create a new sliding machine/timer and he goes off to try and find his real home and/or the other sliders.
You missed the guardian which was one of the best episodes of the series and also the snake world where they meet original quinn from the first episode and how much sliding changed him
I believe there is an actual prison city where the families live with the prisoners. From what I saw its not actually too bad as far as prisons go. They mostly just have walls around a small town that everyone lives and works in during their sentence with even some tourist allowed to visit and pay the prisoners and their families for goods and services. San Pedro Prison in la Paz, Bolivia
Sliders is definitely not the greatest show ever made, but it did have the potential to be among the greatest shows ever made, were it not for studio meddling that ruined it right from the get-go. If Tracy Torme had been able to realize his vision, the show really could have been something special. Incidentally, I've also wondered why they shoot the vortex up into the sky to get out of the nuclear winter world, and the short answer is just that they needed a cliffhanger to end the episode on. That's the only reason.
an interesting point about the prison city thing... US prison systems often have a pretty developed simulacrum of normal life.... apart from the restrictions placed on you, depending on the prison, you do make a wage, and you can spend it on certain luxury items. In some prisons you can even buy yourself a television and gaming console with some games. They will regulate when you can use them, but you get to make those kinds of choices.. these are generally the lower security prisons for various reasons, but the idea is that people in such places are there to be eventually reintegrated into society, so keeping societal norms in their mind is a pointed choice. I the prison city here, it seems more likely that it would simply be too difficult to regulate a city as if it were a maximum security penitentiary, so they went the Australia route, wherein the prisoners are basically just exiles. The rest of their society is normal, apart from the people watching them like a hawk, and they're not allowed to leave, and will be... dealt with, for any violation. Given the set dressing of the episode, I suspect many of the people living there were probably people who did something as minor as failing to sort their recyclables... That is, that world seems to be a surface level eutopia, that was built on and enforced by tyranny, like the transitional period that happened immediately before the world of Demolition Man must have been. A dystopia that naturally arises when people create what they think eutopia is.
The whole “Nikolai Lenin” thing actually is from our world, apparently Lenin used the pseudonym “N. Lenin” at one point. Supposedly the N didn’t stand for anything in particular, but in the west, it was interpreted as Nikolai, and he was occasionally known as Nikolai Lenin in western media and writings. The first time I ever heard it was in a documentary from the late 80’s or early 90’s I watched on TH-cam like 10 years back, and it confused the hell out of me.
That reminds me of the weird origin of H in Jesus H Christ. That was Mark Twain being a smart ass and reading the opening of the Lords Prayer as Harold Be Thy Name instead of Hollowed By Thy Name. Guess that one caught on and never left.
It wouldn't be as hard to invade Switzerland as you might think. They have a pretty small population, mountains don't cover all of it, and mountains aren't as much of an impediment in the modern era as they used to be. Even having conscription and everyone knowing how to use light weapons would be annoying mostly, but not enough that it couldn't be overwhelmed.
I wonder if they were setting it up eventually for having to slide backwards to get to original world. So would revisit all the worlds they went to previously.
"Slider's Domain" Oh sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of the multiverse That started with this college guy and a voyage that was cursed The kid was a brilliant scientist, his teacher Arturo 4 passengers did slide that day would they ever get back home? Would they ever get back home? The Sliding started getting rough, the Sliders they were tossed Without activation of the Rosen Bridge 29 years would be lost, 29 years would be lost They visit many dimensions picking up some friendly folk With Mallory, the Timer too The Crying Man, and Quinn's Bro The sexy girl (Maggie) The Professor and Wade Wells too Here in Sliders Domain!
Watching this in parts. This was one of my favorite series as a kid. I wish they kept the Professor :( jerry O’Connell leaving was when the show died lol
I'm guessing that prairie oyster hangover cure drink might be less of a reference to bull balls, and more of a reference to the supposed hangover cure made from an egg yolk and worcestershire sauce, or hot sauce i forget which, which is called a prairie oyster 😂
Everytime I watch the episode called fever, work when Mallory's double had the Q and Arturo comes up with penicillin. The way everyone's treated on that world when they are sick, especially the part where everyone freaks out when I Guy starts coughing in the restaurant. Makes me think of today and the covid overreaction. Seriously you can find the clip here on TH-cam it's insane.
1:30:36 busted up seeing boogie with his gun. I like to think that's the only constant in the sliders multiverse. There aren't any divergences with him pulling a gun on Frank.
prairie oyster is a real hangover drink with raw eggs and hot sauce. I don’t think they make canned versions of it, but it’s definitely not bull cum lol
Before I started sliding, I would've decided on leaving some sort of marker to know I'm back on my home Earth. Of course, I wouldn't have started without being able to control it.
I have got nothing important to do this afternoon. I see 3 hour talkernate history podcast *girlish squealing* Alright ghouls, goblins and assorted bastards. My butt is stapled to my seat. Who's ready to have a good time?!
Jeesh you guys never saw the show?! How can you not know how the machine works? The timer only tells time, the huge coil and all of the equipment in the basement is what makes the portal, that's why they have to haul ass at the end of each episode to get back to the point where the portal opens to get through because the portal is tied to the point where the machine opened it, the timer is just a glorified alarm clock.
Can't wait for enough Talknerative video so that you can form the 24/7 talknerative radio
There's enough episodes to do that already.
On the bright side, if John Rhys-Davies hadn't left the show then he wouldn't have been able to play Gimli
Oh my god yes. I'm stuck at work and its soooooooooo sloooooow and there's nothing to do. Listening to two good friends talk about Sliders is just what I needed! (PS sorry for not sending that short story yet, taking paralegal classes and it keeps getting in the way. Will make up for it.) Oh, also this series is maybe the most fun John Rhys Davies ever had and I'm okay with that. Hail professor Maximillian Arturo!
Hah! I hope it's entertaining. And no worries about the story taking a while. It's like Gabe Newell once said, "These things, they take time"
I’m in the same boat, and then I saw this notification
I literally can't stop watching this show lately. I'm on like my 5th rewatch lol, once I finish I just restart. I'll try to watch something else but I just go back because I can't stop thinking about it. I love it.
1:40:40 "Prairie Oyster" is the name of a cocktail used for treating hangovers: a raw (chicken) egg, gin, tabsco, pepper. It does not refer to... that.
Excellent episode! And excellent series as well :)
I just wanna say how much I appreciate your effort to have video footage for basically the entire 2:40h podcast. It's great to see the progress from the very old audio only episodes to this. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! You're very kind. This was a fun one to make and we're very happy to see people enjoying it.
There’s always visual gags in the editing that makes the video worth watching over
Yeah this was great. I'm not familiar with this channel at all. Just got recommended it randomly about sliders and they did a very good job.
This is like my favorite show. I watched it on Friday nights, and it was my treat for surviving the week. I had way too much homework.
my dad plays guard #2 in the season 3 episode 10 (the man pregnant one). he plays the guard who informs lady mary that the plan to kill the king at monticello had succeeded and arturo interrupts them. when i showed him the scene he’s in he said “I have absolutely no memory of acting in that scene but that is me”
Your dad is a slider

2:14:51 It was unexpected to see here a fragment of the Soviet film "Кин-Дза-Дза". It just shows the end of capitalist society. Although this is not explicitly stated anywhere in the film. All water was converted into fuel. People eat plastic porridge. They communicate using only one word "Ku" in everyday life. Listen to disgusting music. But at the same time, there are have technologies for moving between planets.
Кин-Дза-Дза is a beloved film for me. I watched it on youtube by chance many years ago and it made a great impression on me.
The "cultural primordial soup" goes in both directions.
Loved the episode lads top tier as always. One small observation; a prairie oyster is a hangover cure drink consisting of Worcestershire sauce, a raw egg and hot sauce. Rocky mountain oysters are the bull testicle food
Oh dear, we were pretty far off on that one, lol
This show encapsulates the 90s perfectly, it's bad but good, it's corny, I love it.
most ambitious episode sense the Tea pot dome Scandal
We're finally living in a post Sliders episode world.
Welcome to ASE 1.
They kinda missed the opportunity to have an episode where they come to our world and meet their actors as doubles.
Thankfully Supernatural rectified this with their show. “You Married Ruby!” 😂
They did do this, in the series finale.
They could've had a space balls where they goto the world and watch the TV show and try to see the future but the most recent episode is always what they're currently doing
that would have ruined the show.
i always thought about it
This has been my most steady channel for the last 5-6 or so years. Love every episode you put out, it's so nice seeing that notification when you guys upload!
Charlie O'Connell being on the show was in fact a favour to Jerry, or rather at that time Jerry was a producer on the show and demanded a part for his brother.
This is why his character was unceremoniously ejected when Jerry left.
I loved Sliders, it was the first show I made an effort to watch every episode as a kid.❤❤
YESS finally, the famed "sliders" episode.
Great podcast, this show doesn't get enough love. One note on into the mystic. The fortune teller may have just been psychic and not mystical since psychics exist in the sliders show and can see across realities, as shown in Gillian, the people in Obsession, most Kromags and the guy from the last episode.
I used to yt videos where guy or more are talking and the visual match maybe half of the time what is being said. Sometimes just "background noise", but you match nearly every frame to your talking points and I applaud this.
great work guys
The existence of seasons 4 and 5 of Sliders and Season 4 of Man in the High Castle is prpof that I may be able to write an interesting alternate history short story for you guys XD. Love the vids, hoping to finish the story as a Christmas gift for yall
Great! We'd love to read it!
I've actually started working on my own history thing cause of this channel, Just finding time to sit down and finish it and then figure out how to do fake footnotes (I already know what books I want to footnote).
I mean, as for the last slider seasons and the high castle season, this stuff didn't even try to make their scifi stuff make sense.
Nice, was looking forward to this episode, after it being mentioned a bunch of times. This show is wild.
Also good to see my main man at 1:35:54 you won't find better investing advice anywhere else
Love this! Cant get enough of people appreciating the hilarious and awesome nineties-ness that is Sliders
It’s here!!! It’s finally here!! I’ve been checking the channel everyday since the announcement!! Not only is a new Talkative History episode out but it’s almost three hours long!!!! I can’t wait to dive in. Still working on the Southern victory series. About to be done with book seven. Thank y’all for these amazing videos. Already planning a random drive that takes three hours haha.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it. Both the episode and "The Victorious Opposition", haha
Nearly 3 hours of talkernate history? Best day all week.
Loved this show when I was a kid. I used to watch it with my dad at the weekend. Would be great to see it come back for a reboot or something.
First video I’ve seen on this channel and I got to say great work. Lots of fun, instant like and subscribe.
Thank you!
54:35 those are standard Canadian pitchers (filmed in Vancouver remember). They hold 3 1/2 pints.

Hey, it's always a great day when your favorite podcast uploads a new video.
I never gave a thought about watching this show at all but you boys have convinced me. Thanks
That was one of the better retrospectives, really awesome to listen to you guys!
I wish you covered "The Guardian" (s3/5) which is the show's best episode imho. But otherwise this talk is a gift and deserves thousands more views, it is so well made.

In an alternate reality, Sliders continued on with the professor. Without the money Goblins getting involed, the series carried on and finished beautifully
Imagine a world where the money goblins don't own everything and usury is outlawed. That would be an amazing world.
This was a really good episode! I actually discovered sliders through this TH-cam channel and I gotta say I’m glad I did even if the last two seasons weren’t great
Thanks so much guys for reviewing the show!!
2 and a half hours of Talkernate History? Sign me up

Good review/summation of the show. You got a few small things wrong, but I dug it quite a bit.
Is the quality better on the blu-ray than the DVDs? If so, I might try to get them too for ripping footage reasons.
@@TalkernateHistory Maybe like...5% better? It's still standard definition but it isn't as fuzzy as some of the DVD releases.
It went to shit once they left Vancouver.
You lost all the best recurring characters and locations. Quinn's stoner buddy, the foreign cab driver, the shyster lawyer, the hotel owner. Hell, the hotel itself, and the park, and the university, the Mallory house, the electronics store where Quinn and Wade worked. And their boss, too, he was in a few episodes.
It added to the surrealness of it.
I miss that television show so much back in the day! 😟
SLIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've not been this hyped since the tea pot dome scandal
You have amazing editing abilities.
A reboot would be cool. John Rhys-Davies is getting up there, though.
Maybe a limited series about our Arturo being trapped on Earth Double Prime. They still have that in their back pocket, they don't do anything super contrived to get him back.
But it should be done quickly, so the show can go back to being a show that's really about alternate histories.
You have them reunite and finally make it home for real. But they've been away so long and things have changed so much it feels just as foreign to them as any of the alternate Earths.
They're glad to have rediscovered home, but they go back to sliding.
But this time with like a central command center on Earth Prime where they're doing a more official exploration of parallel Earths.

You might be into the Middle Falls Time Travel series of books by Shawn Inmon.
Thanks!
I think they should just go back to the original Arturo. It's taken him 20 years to create a new sliding machine/timer and he goes off to try and find his real home and/or the other sliders.
A prarie oyster is a "hangover cure" that involves raw egg white, pepper, and two shots of rum
2:31:18 "A Current Affair", or as I call it, "I Did NOT Have Slide-ual Relations with that Woman"
1:29:52 dropped her off in spiderwasp world I cracked up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was a teenager when I watched this stuff and I miss watching sliders it was in the 90s and I miss watching this stuff
The epic ten years in the making!
The beer is a pitcher, it's meant to be shared. That being said, in college my friends and I would get one each.
Peace!

Sounds like a solid concept.
Everything talkarnate history does is good

I did not watch this but gives me similar vibes as Battle BC (as a great show to watch as a kid).
Barry Pepper was ALSO Dale Earnhardt in the underrated biopic "3"
This is a show perfect for a reboot.

I the prison city here, it seems more likely that it would simply be too difficult to regulate a city as if it were a maximum security penitentiary, so they went the Australia route, wherein the prisoners are basically just exiles. The rest of their society is normal, apart from the people watching them like a hawk, and they're not allowed to leave, and will be... dealt with, for any violation. Given the set dressing of the episode, I suspect many of the people living there were probably people who did something as minor as failing to sort their recyclables...
That is, that world seems to be a surface level eutopia, that was built on and enforced by tyranny, like the transitional period that happened immediately before the world of Demolition Man must have been.
A dystopia that naturally arises when people create what they think eutopia is.
Jerry O'connell voices one of the main cast in the star trek animated show, Lower Decks. It's a fun role that he performs quite well.
Who does he play?
@@tanepukenga1421 Ransom, the first officer of the hero ship
That beer is called a pitcher and its meant to be shared 😂
1:10 The Next Phase, a great TNG episode
The possibilities are sliders
Early Sliders, For The Win 🎶 X..
The whole “Nikolai Lenin” thing actually is from our world, apparently Lenin used the pseudonym “N. Lenin” at one point. Supposedly the N didn’t stand for anything in particular, but in the west, it was interpreted as Nikolai, and he was occasionally known as Nikolai Lenin in western media and writings. The first time I ever heard it was in a documentary from the late 80’s or early 90’s I watched on TH-cam like 10 years back, and it confused the hell out of me.
That reminds me of the weird origin of H in Jesus H Christ. That was Mark Twain being a smart ass and reading the opening of the Lords Prayer as Harold Be Thy Name instead of Hollowed By Thy Name. Guess that one caught on and never left.
@@LadyTylerBioRodriguez I don’t know where I got it from but I’ve always had “Jesus Howard Christ” stuck in my head
@@LadyTylerBioRodriguez It's 'Hallowed', which is another way of saying 'holy', the two words both being derived from the Anglo-Saxon word 'Halig'.
Trace Torme also wrote the TNG episode “Parallels”. The one about Worf jumping between alternate realities.
Nope that was Braga. Torme left the show in the second season
It wouldn't be as hard to invade Switzerland as you might think. They have a pretty small population, mountains don't cover all of it, and mountains aren't as much of an impediment in the modern era as they used to be. Even having conscription and everyone knowing how to use light weapons would be annoying mostly, but not enough that it couldn't be overwhelmed.
2:05:50
Portal: opens
Arturo: LEEEROYYYYYYYYYYY JENKIIIIIIIIIINS!!!!!!!
29:48 Where did the Soviet Union get a fleet to move troops to take North Australia? They could barely take the Kurile Islands
Alternate history 🙂
24:00 sounds like Matt could use some throat discs
I wonder if they were setting it up eventually for having to slide backwards to get to original world. So would revisit all the worlds they went to previously.
That would be awesome. It would be both hilarious, and a great way to give fans of the show closure.
Thanks for this video. Saved me from having to see Season 5.
I can't believe on Into the Mystic episode, no reference to The Wizard of Oz was made. 🤣
Classic show but it fell apart in season 3 and never was the same
Couldn't agree more.
The boys deliver, they really do. Delivering Sliders goodness like the Blessed Hoover delivering humanitarian aid to the USSR.
"Slider's Domain"
Oh sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of the multiverse
That started with this college guy and a voyage that was cursed
The kid was a brilliant scientist, his teacher Arturo
4 passengers did slide that day would they ever get back home?
Would they ever get back home?
The Sliding started getting rough, the Sliders they were tossed
Without activation of the Rosen Bridge
29 years would be lost, 29 years would be lost
They visit many dimensions picking up some friendly folk
With Mallory, the Timer too
The Crying Man, and Quinn's Bro
The sexy girl (Maggie)
The Professor and Wade Wells too
Here in Sliders Domain!
Watching this in parts. This was one of my favorite series as a kid. I wish they kept the Professor :( jerry O’Connell leaving was when the show died lol
I'm guessing that prairie oyster hangover cure drink might be less of a reference to bull balls, and more of a reference to the supposed hangover cure made from an egg yolk and worcestershire sauce, or hot sauce i forget which, which is called a prairie oyster 😂
your gonna make at least 1 person get peacock exclusively for sliders
If you go to Cambodia, bring $100 in $2 dollar bills. They dunno what it is. 1:02:13
The Guide Stone was torn down in Georgia. Protesters 1:12:09
Have to get on a train and a plane today thanks for this
This, Xena, Adventures of Hercules...the 90s in a nutshell for me
Everytime I watch the episode called fever, work when Mallory's double had the Q and Arturo comes up with penicillin. The way everyone's treated on that world when they are sick, especially the part where everyone freaks out when I Guy starts coughing in the restaurant. Makes me think of today and the covid overreaction. Seriously you can find the clip here on TH-cam it's insane.
1:30:36 busted up seeing boogie with his gun. I like to think that's the only constant in the sliders multiverse. There aren't any divergences with him pulling a gun on Frank.
Curious will you also review the amerika tv series?
We'd never even heard of it. But we both love Kris Kristofferson. We'll investigate it!
Quality video
prairie oyster is a real hangover drink with raw eggs and hot sauce. I don’t think they make canned versions of it, but it’s definitely not bull cum lol
Before I started sliding, I would've decided on leaving some sort of marker to know I'm back on my home Earth. Of course, I wouldn't have started without being able to control it.
I have got nothing important to do this afternoon.
I see 3 hour talkernate history podcast
*girlish squealing*
Alright ghouls, goblins and assorted bastards. My butt is stapled to my seat. Who's ready to have a good time?!
2 HOURS? 👏👏❤️
Wait ITS ALMOST 3 ❤️💗💞💙🥰😍
Raises many questions, not begs.
So FRINGE was like Sliders with a more attractive cast? Not that there’s anything wrong with preferring John Rhys-Davies over Anna Torv
Jeesh you guys never saw the show?! How can you not know how the machine works? The timer only tells time, the huge coil and all of the equipment in the basement is what makes the portal, that's why they have to haul ass at the end of each episode to get back to the point where the portal opens to get through because the portal is tied to the point where the machine opened it, the timer is just a glorified alarm clock.
