reply

No, it's just a small humorous ending to the episode. After being terrorised by the Allosaurus for most the episode, Quinn steps on the fossil of one after they slide.

Why, thank you, Thing!

I know many TV Shows sometimes air episodes out of order...for ratings I guess...


But Airing "Summer of Love" out of order was just SO STUPID!


I remember when the episodes aired 20 Years ago...

At the beginning of the first aired episode, We see the SLIDERS hanging to the top of the skyscraper on Flooded World, wearing Hippies clothes, then they slide out...

At the end of the next episode, "Summer of Love", we see them put on the (Same) hippies clothes, and then they slide to Flooded World with the Tsunami coming toward them.


It thought to myself "What Is Going On here?"

Sometimes TV shows can get away with airing episodes out of order, BUT NOT THAT ONE!





By the way...

Technically "The Last of Eden" was not aired out of order, since the episode was presented as a flashback story involving events that occurred before they met Maggie.

But at the same time, I don't think Maggie was in it or mentioned, so, you can still watch it before "The Exodus Part 1".

I was taping the episodes and noticed that the episodes were out of order in season 1 and 2 and it was kind of annoying. Even on the DVDs I think they are out of order too. I'm going to print out the list so when I watch my DVDs again I can watch them in the correct order.

Dad wants us to start where he left off. Saving people,Hunting things,the family business.

reply

i'm guessing they're still in the wrong order in the complete series collection?

because i imagine thats literally just all the previously released discs bunched up together. or did they actually re-do the discs and fix the order?

reply

That explains why Wade is all for interfering in Summer Of Love but then they make a point of not interfering (which goes out the window fast) at the beginning of the next episode.

reply

I am not sure about that list for the Season 02 order .. I believe the production order is still the best, I did a quick check and found some inconsistencies with the clothes etc in the order you posted. Do you have a link to the post on earthprime.com where this order is discussed ?? :)

reply

Season 2 production ended up a little more complicated than season 1. The lawyer world opening for Greatfellas was the opening originally meant for the season premiere Into the Mystic (note the clothes). When Fox finally allowed production to resolve the season one cliffhanger, the new gravestone opening for Into the Mystic was filmed during the abandoned amusement park segment of Invasion.

The producers were having to shift and juggle on the fly to try to make things work with Fox, and it created a kind of patchwork season for season 2.

Well, this would have fixed my confusion with the episode when they're in the 60s clothes at the beginning(can't remember the name) , which was of course followed by the 'Summer of Love' episode.

I'm used to ignoring any details of shows like this where they finish a 'mission' in the intro for the episode, so I hadn't been really paying attention details before that.

Thanks for this post. I'm on 'Eggheads' now, so I'll have to adjust accordingly.

reply

Thanks! I'm watching season 2 and it's so confusing. People who jump with them are never mentioned in the next episode. I had to come here to figure out what was going on.

reply

Fox just didn't want the show serialized (but switching the order of Summer of Love and Prince of Wails is pretty bone-headed, and they could've AT LEAST fixed that on the DVD's). I think I read somewhere that the girl from El Sid was supposed to follow them to Love Gods world and then get stranded there, but I have no clue about the couple that slid at the end of Love Gods...

I didn't really notice anything confusing about it since it's all pretty much stand alone episodes. Never even thought to question the order of the episodes.
