Sliders: Earth 1014 Season One

PILOT, PT 1 Quinn Mallory, a physics graduate student, discovers the "Holy Grail of Physics" - travel to parallel dimensions of the same Earth. Excited by what he's learned, Quinn contacts his friend Wade Welles and Professor Arturo and the two of them travel through the portal for what they think will be a five-hour journey. Turning the power too high, they accidentally bring passersby Rembrandt Brown and Jayson Garrick with them. PILOT, PT 2 After escaping an ice tornado in an alternate San Francisco, Quinn and his companions find themselves in a world where the Soviet Union has conquered America. They join the revolutionaries in order to save Rembrandt from imprisonment and travel back to their own world... or so they think. FEVER The Sliders are trapped in a disease-ravaged world in which antibiotics were never discovered. Racing against time, they must find a cure and escape before it's too late. LAST DAYS The group travels to a parallel dimension where an asteroid is on a collision course with earth, and Einstein never allowed nuclear weapons to be created. With only 48 hours until "Doomsday" (and 72 hours until the next slide), Arturo works feverishly with Bennish, an eccentric, yet brilliant young scientist, to recreate Einstein's equation for the atomic bomb - but will the atomic cure prove more deadly than an asteroid? PRINCE OF WAILS God Save the Queen and our Sliders in a world where England won the Revolution and our United States of America become the British States of America. The local Arturo has a murderous plot to end the monarchy and the Sliders find themselves torn between supporting the tyranny of Monarchy or the anarchy of homicide. SUMMER OF LOVE The Sliders find themselves in an Earth where San Francisco is still inhabited by hippies from our 1960's - only here, Oliver North is President, the U.S. is involved in a Vietnam-type war in Australia and the flower children are under surveillance by the police. Meanwhile, Rembrandt stumbles upon his childhood sweetheart and discovers how a few decisions back home might have made his life been better - or worse. EGGHEADS In this parallel dimension intellectuals are revered above those with physical prowess. With the possibility that this Earth's Quinn and Arturo have also unlocked the key to sliding, the our Quinn and Arturo assume the identities of their doubles. Arturo tries to repair the relationship with the love of his life while Quinn is forced to compete in the scholarly equivalent of the Super Bowl. THE WEAKER SEX In this world, what we think of as traditional male and female roles are reversed: men stay at home with the children and do housework while the women have control of the corporate and political sectors. Arturo, the group's most chauvinistic member, gets a taste of how the "other half" lives and makes it a personal quest to crusade on behalf of the "weaker sex" - his. THE KING IS BACK It's a Crying Man's World: the Sliders travel to a parallel dimension where Rembrandt "Crying Man" Brown is as big as Elvis, but after a mysterious "death" eight years ago, this world has had to make do with "Crying Man" impersonators. Rembrandt discovers first-hand the perils and pitfalls of fame as he becomes the target of the greedy and the obsessed of this parallel Earth. LUCK OF THE DRAW The Sliders travel to a parallel dimension, which at first glance seems like paradise. Everyone is encouraged to play the lottery and winners are treated like royalty and given anything they want. But when Wade wins, she discovers that there is always a price to pay - in this case, the ultimate price.
