Sliders reboot

The first 3 seasons were good, after that not so much. Whoever got their hands on it really turned it into a pile of shit. I think it was just the scifi cool possibilities thing that made people like it, not many other similar shows. You had to turn off your brain for a lot of it.

I'm rewatching it again now.

Yes, they showed the handy man had oiled it after they slid out. There was no way to really know if that was the correct reality though, that was just the impression they wanted to give. When they finally did return home, or what they said was home, the gate squeaked. That was in between the crossover i believe from s3 to s4 when they brought in the cromaggs, and they supposedly had taken their world over.

The writing was sort of bad anyway the way just declared things that there was no way to really know without investigating, but after they met up with maggie and went into season 4 it got horrible and totally stupid. I blame a lot of the crappiness of s4 and 5 on the writers and not necessarily the actors.

As an example, the world where the alternate quinn sent everyone in the world to another reality made no sense seeing as how we saw in the very first episode that objects could slide. So when they showed up there should have been nothing there and everything should have appeared in the alternate reality along with everyone that went, maybe even the whole earth. Even a dog appeared at the beginning of the episode, which unless it was right beside other quinn when it happened would have merged with everything else. At the very least everything that wasn't nailed down should have slid.

Then there was the acid rain world where the genius pro sliders decided everyone running and yelling about the rain was no big deal. What's a little rain? Doh. Not to mention nothing outside was damaged at all for a world where every time it rained it rained acid. Everything was in perfect condition.

I could go all day on season 4 alone, the new people totally ruined the show. They never acted like finding wade was something they wanted to do, the characters were totally different, the doubles were just the people sliding at the time, stuff like that. Went down hill after rhys davies left, apparently he was the one trying to keep it entertaining, interesting and at least half believable.

It means I tolerated it when I was young because I knew no better.

If it were made today, it wouldn't get a second season.
