So, over break I watched season 1-4 of Sliders, my dad's favorite show of all time (American show any how). It's a great concept show where a boy genius (college boy) creates a remote that helps you travel through multi dimensions. The group (professor, girl, genius, and singer) travels from multiple versions of our world to find their way home.
Season 1 and 2 were EXCELLENT, season 3 was alright the show got pretty bad when the cast changed (either by being killed off or otherwise). I stopped watching by season 5. I watched the first episode and I just felt disappointment. Only one of the original characters from episode is there and the other characters are annoying and SUCKS.
ARG. Other than that, the concept of the show is outstanding in the first two seasons. They come to the world where multiple theoretical extremes are implemented on a world that we know and our heroes figure out how the survive the world until they can use the Timer again so they can move to the next world.
Some of the great worlds are major what ifs. For instance, a world where nuclear bombs were never invented, Russians won the Cold War, sexism is reversed where women are dominant over men, among many other things.
Some however got silly, a universe with vampires being one of them.
My favorite world however was the one where academia was treated with popularity like that of sport stars and movie starts. It's bizarrely brilliant. People chase after the brilliant for autographs and their biggest sport is based on math and science questions mixed with the idea of Othello.
