SLIDERS Retro REVIEW #6 | Episode 1x07 | "The Weaker Sex"

The women are in control as FANDOM ENTANGLEMENT returns for the sixth in our series of retro reviews for SLIDERS! This time, we’re taking a look at Season 1, Episode 7 (or rather, Episode 6 in story continuity order), “The Weaker Sex” (original airdate: May 3, 1995 on Fox). Arturo finds himself in a potentially deadly mayoral race on a world where men are treated as “the weaker sex” and women hold the positions of power and influence.
This episode was written by Dawn Prestwich & Nicole Yorkin and directed by Vern Gillum.
Co-hosts Amada Anderson & Liane Fisher Bloxam are joined by their man servants (sorry, associates) Damon Sugameli & Mike Bloxam, as they discuss this cautionary tale about role reversal in a female-dominated society and debate how realistic it actually would have been if women took control of a male-dominated world hundreds of years ago. Would war and violence truly be a thing of the past? Would the stereotypical male/female roles be so easily reversed on a Woman’s World? And is Arturo truly as sexist as this episode makes him out to be? We ask these types of questions and more. Hope you enjoy our analysis and review!

Awesome review! Interesting to hear how this episode looks today. Good episode, a lot of funny lines. Love that Professor is Wade's slave 😂

I've been loving these, thanks guys! It was my favourite show way back when. Are you talking plebiscite? We had one recently in Australia around same sex marriage... "A referendum is a vote of the Australian people on a proposed change to the Australian Constitution, while a plebiscite is a vote on an issue that does not affect the Constitution."

If a sliders gets a job, isn’t that an additional job and tax liability for the double? 😳
