EPISODE DESCRIPTION The
episode 6x13
was based on the original idea of Sliders.PL team. In
the last episode, there had to be a final confrontation between the
Sliders and the three villains of the series. The Kromaggs were defeated
with the virus and the Slidewave, the Zercurvians with the explosion of
their ships and the Slidewave, and Logan at the hand of Maraud. Diana
improved the Slidewave mechanism so much, that it sent not only living
beings with a foreign quantum signature to another dimension, but also
inanimate objects. As a result, the empty wrecks of the Kromagg and
Zercurvian ships did not fall down on Los Angeles. Any
improvements to the timer, starting with the episode “The Exodus:
Part I,” included only the Egyptian timer, which was used by the
alternative group of Sliders. These modifications did not apply to
Quinn’s original timer, which was used throughout the entire
six-season. So how is it possible that the Professor was able to extract
the coordinates of our world from Quinn's original timer, when the device
did not store the coordinates? The Professor most likely did it in the
same way as the Sorcerer, Quinn’s double in the episode 2x01
“Into the Mystic.” The Sorcerer somehow extracted the
coordinates of our world from the original timer and at the end of this
episode, we can see the effect of this help. Let’s add that the
Professor, who worked for several months at Diana Davis’ Sliding
Research Center, acquired many new skills that he had not had before. At
this point, his knowledge of sliding could already match the knowledge of
the Sorcerer from episode 2x01. This is how Arturo knew how to extract
coordinates from a device that supposedly did not store them. It
was important for us in the last episode, to find redemption for Professor
Arturo’s double, who had previously deceived our Professor. To
achieve this, we used a mirror scene referring to the ending of “The
Exodus: Part II,” when Maximillian Arturo was shot by Rickman while
saving Quinn's life. In the case of our episode 6x13, the Professor was
killed in a very similar way by Maraud. In
our sixth season vision of the Sliders series, we actually dealt with four
different Professor Arturos. Our original Professor is the one who was
abandoned in “The World with the Azure Gate Bridge,” and who
after many years of wandering alone, slid to “The World of Diana and
Mallory,” where after a while he accidentally met his former
companions. We saw this Arturo from season 1 to the episode
“Post-Traumatic Slide Syndrome” in season 2, and also in the
final episode of season 6. The second Professor is the one who came from
“The World with the Azure Gate Bridge,” and who we saw from
“Post-Traumatic Slide Syndrome” in season 2 to the middle of
season 3, and then throughout season 6. This Professor was terminally ill,
although the disease did not progress between the events of season 3 and
6. The third Professor is the original Arturo of the alternative Sliders,
who was abandoned in “The World with the Green Golden Gate
Bridge,” and who was found years later by Remmy. This Professor was
not ill. After retrieving Quinn and Wade, he continues searching his
homeworld with them and with Rembrandt. We've only seen this Arturo once
in the show, which was in the flashback in the penultimate episode of
season 6. In turn, the fourth Arturo is the one who came from “The
World with the Green Golden Gate Bridge,” who suffered from a
terminal disease and who died at the hands of Rickman. We've only seen
this version of the Professor in a few episodes from season 3, which were
“Slide Like an Egyptian,” “Paradise Lost,”
“The Last of Eden,” and in both parts of “The
Exodus.” When
you watch the Sliders series again, note that the last episode with our
original Sliders is in the season 3 episode “Murder Most
Foul,” in which the Professor believes himself to be Detective Reginald
Doyle.
This episode is a simulation of a different reality. It is also a preview,
or a teaser, that indicates that from the next episode, “Slide Like
an Egyptian,” we would watch the alternative group of travelers
through the Kromagg simulation. The
return of our Sliders to Earth Prime means that after the end of the
entire series, there is another justification as to why we watched the
alternative Sliders in the Kromagg simulation, from the episode in which
the Egyptian timer was found. It is our belief, that the Sliders series
turned out to be a story of four friends from our world, whose adventures
we saw at the beginning of their interdimensional journey (season 1,
season 2, and the first half of season 3) and at the very end of their
journey (season 6). On the other hand, between the second half of season 3
and the end of season 5, we watched the story of alternative travelers,
whose adventures turned out to be very important, because it was these
Sliders who on their way, obtained many improvements to the Egyptian
timer. As it turned out, these improvements and the knowledge gained by
the alternative Sliders about sliding technology, were absolutely
essential for the Sliders from our world. Thanks to them, they could
finally return home! In other words, our Sliders had to meet the
alternative ones so that the latter would help the former to return home.
In turn, our Sliders helped the alternative Sliders to finally deal with
the problem of Kromaggs and also on the occasion with the Zercurvians and
Logan St. Claire. Photos: Brick Lady
