EPISODE DESCRIPTION This episode was based on Ibrahim Ng's fan fiction entitled “Slide Effects.” You can read the over 40-page script HERE. Since we read in the 2011 the fan-fic “Slide Effects,” we knew it was the perfect reset that could be the beginning of the sixth season of Sliders. However, the idea presented by Ibrahim Ng was not his own, but was based on the original idea of the creator of the series, Tracy Tormé. It is not a secret that Tormé was sidelined from Sliders at the beginning of the season three. In the INTERVIEW in 2009, he revealed that in 1996 he had created his own idea to reset the events after season two, in case he would ever return as a producer of Sliders. As we know, this never happened. In 2009 Tormé revealed that his idea for the reset was to bring back the original four characters: Quinn, Wade, Remmy and the Professor. The creator planned to use the Kromaggs for this plot - it turned out that when we saw adventures without the Professor and Wade, but with Maggie and Colin, we were watching a Kromagg simulation, not the adventures of our Sliders. In 2011 Ibrahim Ng created the over 40-page script based on this idea. In 2020, the website Sliders.PL on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Sliders premiere and the 20th anniversary of its ending, adapted the script “Slide Effects” for the virtual sixth season. Using the infographic above we have illustrated our idea for the sixth season and the new timeline of the entire series (click to enlarge). In the middle, there is the axis of the series divided into six seasons. Using the blue color we marked the timeline of the original four Sliders, whose adventures we watched in season one, two and in the first half of season three. Then, from the second half of season three, throughout the fourth and fifth seasons, we saw the adventures of an alternative group (red timeline), whose adventures were sometimes tragic (e.g. deaths of characters). In season six, the original four Sliders (Quinn, Wade, Remmy, Arturo) return, and we also see eight alternative Sliders, whose adventures we watched from the second half of the third season to the fifth (Quinn2, Wade2, Remmy2, Arturo2, Maggie, Colin, Mallory, Diana). Ibrahim
Ng assumed that in the Kromagg simulation Quinn saw the adventures of his
many alternates, with a different double in every world. We assumed that
we see in the simulation the same group all the time. Their adventures
turned out to be tragic with the loss of the Professor, Wade, Colin and
Quinn. We assumed that from episode 3x14 to 5x18 the original four Sliders were using only the original timer and visiting the same or similar worlds that were visited by the alternative ones. However we have not seen the adventures of the original four on the show, which could sometimes be similar and other times quite different to what we saw from the episode 3x14 to the finale of the series on 5x18. There were certainly no problems leading up to the use of the Egyptian timer and Maggie, Colin, Diana and Mallory did not participate on these adventures. Photos: Brick Lady
