Season 5 Fax & Roomers

take thees with a grain of sand

Activated September 1998


1.The Unstruck Man(a.k.a. The Season Premayor)

Written by:Bill Dial Directed by:Unknown

The new characters Mallory (the amalgam of a Quinn alternate and Quinn) and Diana Davis make there debut, as well as a new reoccurring villain. Dr. Oberon Geiger, a disembodied scientist who wreaks havoc with the Sliders when he causes the interdimensiona travelers to have an identity crisis. Bill Dial said this about the episode. "We had this idea of physicist trying for world domination on a quantum particle level," Dial offers. "But he's 'unstuck'. Basically he's been fiddling around with some quantum forcefield that has kind of unglued him from dimensions - he can' t stick in one dimension. He manages to put together a forcefield that contains him, but what he's trying to do is create a universe that he can live in." Dr Geiger believes he has found a way to escape his prison within the vortex - by melding himself with an unwitting Slider. First he must test the process, and chooses a lab rat from a parallel dimension... Quinn's own double, Mallory. The results of this experiment are devastating: Colin is seemingly vapourized, and Quinn becomes the 'melded' version of two people.

4.New Gods For Old

(a.ka.God In The Machine)

Written by: David Gerrold Directed by:

Guest stars:Stephen Macht

    The episode deals with a gestalt mind and one's personal connection to God.The episode was filmed on the Universal Backlots using the 19th century village sets seen in the theatrical remake of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein a few years back.The episode deals with a gestalt mind and one's personal connection to God. On a world where the inhabitants worship a machine that provides them prosperity, Rembrandt sees what he believes to be God in the machine (hence the title). The others don't believe him, forcing Rembrandt into a crisis of faith. Marc Scott Zicree states : "I've been talking to both Chris Black and David Gerrold, advocating that they do the story. It will take some retooling now that the leads are different, but will still make a terrific episode, I think. The reason we didn't do it last season was that it held a certain similarity to one of our other episodes, so we couldn't do them too closely together. I'd say it's a good bet it will get made this year."

NOTES: Information from David Gerrold.

"We just did a show in which the Chandler Hotel is an archaeological dig. Somehow it's 400 years off from our time, and it's layered over with sediment and our people get to be part of this dig. When they go and see it's the Chandler, they find a beer mug that the archaeologist decides is a sacrificial goblet, then they have a big debate over what a parking meter might have been: 'It sells time... but to what end'! It's really our take on how these funny archaeologists can find one pot and then invent an entire civilization!"
