back a million years ago, a local theater was playing Wrath of Khan, and some friends talked me into going with them. since I'd never watched Star Trek before, I have retained exactly zero of this movie
I still feel a little silly for not having realized earlier than, like, season 4 of #TNG that Noonien Soongh is a different person than Khan Noonien-Singh. another issue with having started out of order ... when I started my TNG watch, all I knew about Khan (besides that there was a movie about him) was what was in #StrangeNewWorlds. I also didn't have a very good grasp on the timeline of the different series (including the 100-year gap)
Oh man, this is terrible news. Tormè was not only instrumental in TNG’s early success but was half of the braintrust that created my all-time favorite show: Sliders. Even recent years Tormè kept the torch of a reboot alive. RIP to a man gone too early.
The Sliders got home at the beginning of Season 2 but didn't realize it and left again. Let's look back at the reality-hopping series, now streaming on Peacock.
Most of the main cast of Sliders, including Jerry O'Connell and John Rhys-Davies, left before the Sci-Fi Channel show was completed. The multiverse is all the rage these days, thanks in large part to Marvel. But if you were a kid growing up in the late ‘90s, your first introduction to the many-worlds hypothesis was probably...
Today, September 27, Quinn Mallory first enters the interdimensional portal he accidentally created in his San Francisco basement while trying to invent an antigravity device (Sliders, 1995)
@PhilEdwards So this new animated series is a #babylon5#sliders#quantumLeap mashup. Sheridan is unstuck in time, trying to get home, and probably struggling to put right what once went wrong.
Welcome to #DinoMedia.Where we watch an episode of an old Documentary, TV show, or movie with #Dinosaurs in it.
This week we are looking at #Sliders. It was a TV show from the late 90s where they use a remote to travel through the multiverse. The same time, same place, different universe. They are trying to find their way back to their home reality. In “In Dino Veritas” S02E07 from 1996, we see some CGI dinosaurs. Let’s see how they hold up.

One last thing to giggle at.
One of the characters steps on its femur(?) and it crumbles like a bone that’s been in the sun too long. We can see it’s hollow and still white.
Which falls into the category of “not how any of that works” but it is a fun not to end this on
Overall, I give the depictions of this a solid 9/10.
Congrats #Sliders for being a great show for its time.
