Sliders

Netflix is a great way to watch movies, TV episodes, and TV series with a click of a video game counsel or a DVD player with WIFI built in.  When I was on bed rest, all I did was watch shows and movies after shows and movies.  The best show my husband got me into is a show called Sliders.  Jerry O’Connell stars in the 90’s show, along with Sabrina Lloyd, Cleavant Derricks, and John Rhys-Davies.  Even though I only really got into the first four seasons, they were the main characters that had great roles in the show.

I thought Sliders was one of the best television sci-fi shows out there, even though the show was only aired in various parts of the world once season five came along.  Jerry’s character was Quinn Mallory, he was a physics graduate who developed a vortex to see if his theory that other universes exists.  He succeeded and along the way, his friends, were accidently sucked into the vortex as well. 

What was interesting was during the shows, I thought to myself, what would the world be like if we went through the same thing? If every day you woke up, and it’s still the same day, same year, but the outcome is different.  For instance, in one of the episodes I remember was when Quinn and his friends warped into a world where Kromagg’s (alien looking creatures but walked and talked like humans) ruled the world and humans were the ones being caged and treated like animals and second class citizens.  What if one day you woke up and women were captured to breed Kromagg’s babies, or if one day you woke up, the world that you remember like homes, buildings, schools, and people didn’t exist?

I may sound like a dork talking about this show but sometimes we really need to think of what’s going to happen in the future.  Yes, that may be a long shot where Kromagg’s will rule the world but maybe it won’t be Kromagg’s, maybe it’ll be apes, who knows!

All I know is, Sliders was a great show, I loved Jerry’s character Quinn so much, my husband and I named our son Quinn.  I hope in the future, they continue or even make a movie of the show again, I know I’d be one of the first ones in line to see it, and hopefully Jerry stars in it! That would be amazing!
