Sliders was an ambitious sci-fi show that continually pushed boundaries.
When physics genius Quinn Mallory , Wade Welles , Professor Maximillian Arturo , and unwitting passer-by Rembrant Brown travel to a parallel world via a device created by Quinn, they expect to return in five hours. With their lives in danger, they are forced to cut their journey to this alternate Earth short. They use the device to "slide" home early...only to find themselves in an alternate dimension that is clearly not their own.
Luck of the Draw What appears to be a utopian world without war, crime, poverty, or overpopulation soon divulges its dark reality when Wade ends up a winner of the public lottery, which is actually a form of population control. When the sliders arrive in this world, they believe it to be a paradise. Anyone can go to any ATM and withdraw as much as they want from a communal bank account.
The Fire Within After sliding onto a world that the characters believe may have inspired popular depictions of hell, due to the unending fires burning there, they inadvertently bring sentient fire to the next world - which is overflowing with oil. While the plot of the episode is a little thin on the ground, the idea of fire being something that can think, act purposefully, and even communicate, was one worth remembering.
This was different from an episode like 'The Weaker Sex', where the gender roles of our world were reversed, Hillary Clinton is president, women hold all the power and men have only a few options, like to be a secretary or a caregiver. Love Gods examines the power dynamic if there were no men at all in society, whereas The Weaker Sex plays out essentially as our world does, just with the roles reversed.
